President Woodrow Wilson urged Americans to remain neutral in World War 1. During the war, the former president remained neutral to be kept away from being part of the European Alliance System and to avoid and prevent making any enemies in other countries, but when the Americans were brought into the war, he urged and led the nation through the war, though he never wanted to be part of the war. As soon as he declared war, he also tried to find a fast way to end it quickly. He was responsible for a quick end of the First World War, he strived to find ways such as setting up the War Industries Board and urged the congress to pass the Lever Act.
