On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress
to send U.S. troops into battle against Germany in World War I.
In his address to Congress that day, Wilson lamented it is a
fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war.
Four days later, Congress obliged and declared war on
Germany.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson
(December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924)
