Question

of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples...we have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances...it is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance. but the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts -- for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations...\
woodrow wilson 2 april 1917 \war message to congress
how did wilsons speech to congress about the united states entering world war one influence americas future foreign policy of interventionism?
¿cómo influyó el discurso de wilson al congreso sobre la entrada de estados unidos en la primera guerra mundial en la futura política exterior de intervención del país?

○ wilson reminded americans of previous attempts by the united states to dominate foreign markets and trade. this transitions the united states towards communism

○ wilson explained the need to extract resources from conquered territories to support industrial war efforts and strengthen capitalism in the united states

○ wilson explained to americans that efforts to prevent dictatorships from forming in other nations, the united states would need to embrace isolationism

○ wilson reminded americans that promoting peace and democracy requires sacrifices, even war. this establishes a shift from isolationism for the united states

Explanation:

Wilson's 1917 war speech framed U.S. entry into WWI as a fight for democracy, self-determination, and the rights of small nations. This marked a break from the longstanding U.S. foreign policy of isolationism, laying a foundation for interventionism by justifying U.S. involvement in global affairs to uphold these values. The other options are incorrect: the speech did not reference dominating markets/communism, extracting resources, or advocating isolationism.

Answer:

Wilson reminded Americans that promoting peace and democracy requires sacrifices, even war. This establishes a shift from isolationism for the United States
