Lusitania memorial, anti-war parade, pro-war rally, Roosevelt and Wilson, 1915, 1917, WWI

The video discusses Germany's aggressive actions during World War I, which led to its international condemnation. In the U.S., there was a strong peace movement opposing involvement in the war. President Woodrow Wilson, reelected on a peace platform, sought to maintain neutrality and mediate peace. However, Theodore Roosevelt and others criticized Wilson's approach, advocating for military action. The resumption of German unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917 challenged U.S. neutrality, leading to a shift in American policy and the eventual break in diplomatic relations with Germany.
