The Entrance into World War I and II

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of World Wars I and II. Specifically, the writer focuses on the British, German, and United States entrances into each World War. The writer notes that each country entered into World War I and II for different reasons, but each country fought in both wars, bringing some of the most powerful nations on earth in direct conflict with one another. The writer points out that just as with World War I, Germany was the initial aggressor in World War II, they attacked allies of Great Britain, drawing Great Britain and all of its satellite countries into the war, and then, the United States waited several years to join in the fight. The writer concludes that seeing what caused countries to enter into these wars should provide an idea of what to look for in the future and to stop another world war before it starts.

From the Paper:

"The United States did not enter the war until April 1917 when it declared war on Germany. While the U.S. supported Great Britain and its attempts to defeat Germany, then President Woodrow Wilson hoped the war could be ended quickly by treaties, such as a treaty drafted by the League of Nations, and so, Wilson tried to keep the country out of the war as long as possible. However, in early 1917, Germany declared open submarine warfare, and they attacked U.S. merchant ships attempting to deliver supplies to Great Britain. There were also rumors that Germany was going to ally with Mexico and fight the U.S. By April, Wilson had proposed entering the war to Congress, and war was officially declared on April 6, 1917."
