American sympathies gradually turned from Germany to the UK for almost three years before #WoodrowWilson asked for a declaration of war on #ThisDayInHistory in 1917. Reasoning always centred on Germany's #UnrestrictedSubmarineWarfare, though the #ZimmermannTelegram did not help.
The #PunitiveExpedition began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1916, when Pres. #WoodrowWilson sent a US Army force to invade #Mexico in search of #PanchoVilla. They stopped looking after a month when confronted by Mexican troops, but stayed in the country illegally until February 1917.
#WoodrowWilson was a racist & misogynist; he opposed women voting. Trump has left him in the dust. Maga: an atavistic recrudescence, the return of the repressed, a recapitulation of the dark side of US history that cohered into the racist & nativist nationalism of the 1920s.
Read 'The Wilsonian Moment" for a better understanding of how the disappointed post Versailles hopes of the formerly colonised have shaped relations between "the west" and "the south".

#History […]
The book became a stage play, which, in 1915, #DWGriffith adapted for the screen as “Birth of a Nation”. President #WoodrowWilson hailed it as “history written with lightning” & showed it at the White House to further its #racist myths.
#OTD On Feb. 3, 1917, before a joint session of Congress, President Woodrow Wilson announced that the United States had broken off diplomatic relations with Germany, after that nation had announced a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare.

#OTD On January 28, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson vetoed the Immigration Act, refusing to ban illiterate immigrants.

#Americanism was simply European fascism 150 years early. #whitesupremacy worldwide was greatly inspired by the 1915 film #BirthofaNation which #WoodrowWilson played at the White (Supremacy) House. This was clear to Europeans, inspiring #Kahanite #Zionism, #Banderite #Nazism & other fascist ills.

#OTD In Jan 1917, President #WoodrowWilson delivered his 'Peace Without Victory' speech. He argued that a lasting peace must be based on equality between nations, rather than a settlement forced upon the loser. Despite his call for neutrality, the U.S. entered WWI months later.

Incorrect. Those would be #GeorgeWashington, #AndrewJackson and #RobertELee who actively murdered civilians to impose slavery. #WoodrowWilson who re imposed federal segregation. #DullesBrothers who imposed #deathsquad rule on a dozen cou tried.
#America as a name, a country, an idea, is all evil.

#WoodrowWilson was born #OnThisDay in 1856; while he pursued progressive foreign & domestic policy as president, he was also a white supremacist who aggressively institutionalized racial #discrimination where it had been lifted in federal agencies...

Happy Birthday Woodrow Wilson. (RIP) 28th President of United States of America. #HappyBirthdayWoodrowWilson #WoodrowWilson #Birthday #Legend #Legends #President
#WoodrowWilson was born in Virginia #OnThisDay in 1856; the 28th president of the United States did some good & even great things but he was also a virulent racist committed to #WhiteSupremacy & the balance sheet of his presidency is a mixed one at best...

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
“The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of government power, not the increase of it.“
#WoodrowWilson, 28th US president, Nobel laureate (1856-1924)
On this day in 1856, Woodrow Wilson was born. The 28th U.S. President, he penned the Fourteen Points and the League of Nations Covenant, dreaming of peace post-WWI. His legacy? A mix of idealism and controversy. #history #cronologia #historyfacts #WoodrowWilson #LeagueofNations

Happy Wednesday!
Where is patience quietly moving you forward?
“All things come to him who waits—provided he knows what he is waiting for.”
#WoodrowWilson
Patience is slow but certain progress. 🌱
