Brianna Cooke · Answer 1

u. s. entered the war

Drew Stanton · Answer 2

United States entered the war.

Explanation:

'Woodrow Wilson' was the 28th president of the United States. He did want Americans do get involved in the war. He did not want the Congress to pass any bill that would let the country get into the war. He opposed war completely.

But, Germans boats attacked U. S ships in the Atlantic ocean and killed many U. S citizens. Then, the Americans pushed the President to take quick action in response to this German attack in the Atlantic ocean.

Thus, President Wilson thought to change his plans, and addressed the Congress to vote for the 'declaration of War' against the 'Germans'. United States entered the war as the President was under public pressure to do so.
