Comparing America's entries into the World Wars provides an insight into major events that influenced future ones and changed America.</p><p>Research was conducted from primary sources of Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition, secondary sources were used that study the events preceding America's entries into World War I and World War II. Research was also conducted on public opinion.</p><p> In World War I, German actions angered Wilson and segments of the American public, persuading Wilson to ask for a declaration of war.
