Woodrow Wilson's Speech On Isolationism And Internationalism
Hello Mrs. Gawriluk, here are the documents/articles I was able to find about the isolationism and internationalism we talked about in class.
This first link is the first speech Woodrow Wilson used when discussing the war in Europe with the Congress. The second website is the page where this speech as well as some opposing speeches regarding Wilson's talking points can be found. For instance, if the first document was used it discusses the U.S. desire to remain natural, to let Europe handle its own fairs, though Wilson acknowledges the U.S. may play a role in this. Opposing views argue for a stronger stance of isolationism. This could be an interesting way for students to see the two sides, though the wording is a bit older fashioned.
