Concept note-1: -By virtue of this legislation and the slogan “he kept us out of war, ” Wilson narrowly won re-election. But after the election Wilson concluded that America could not remain neutral in the World War. On April 2, 1917, he asked Congress for a declaration of war on Germany.

Concept note-2: -In 1917, Wilson could no longer refrain from American involvement in World War I due to the brutality of German warfare.

Concept note-3: -US President Woodrow Wilson sought to maintain US neutrality but was ultimately unable to keep the United States out of the war, largely because of escalating German aggression.
