Answer 1

Answer: The federal government promoted the war as a patriotic crusade under direction of the Creel Committee. This approach soon became anti-German and anti-immigrant and often encouraged violence or even murder against unpopular groups. During the war the government passed a series of laws restricting individual freedom and civil rights.

Answer 2

Answer: American policy toward the Latin American countries during the Wilson administration was designed to support American economic interests in the area. Wilson's idealism led to American intervention in Mexico, creating tension and confrontation with that country. The United States intervened militarily in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua to guarantee political stability in the area in order to protect American economic and national security interests.

Answer 3

Answer: At the beginning of World War I, the Wilson administration considered the United States above fighting to solve political problems, and considered that the United States didn't have any major stake in the outcome of the war. The British blockade of Germany, and German retaliation through the use of submarine warfare, however, made it impossible for the United States to remain uninvolved.
