Summary "In Our First Year of War" by Woodrow Wilson is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This work comprises a collection of messages and addresses delivered by Wilson during the period leading up to and shortly after the United States' entry into World War I. The content highlights the President's reflections on American involvement in the war, the principles guiding the nation, and the necessity of mobilization for both military and civilian resources. At the start of this volume, Wilson's second inaugural address sets a solemn tone, acknowledging the tremendous responsibilities faced by the nation due to global unrest and conflict. He emphasizes the idea of America stepping onto the world stage, not as an aggressor but as a proponent of liberty and democracy. The opening also transitions into his message to Congress, detailing the events that necessitated a declaration of war against Germany, outlining the threats posed by German warfare, and asserting the need for unity in action and purpose among all Americans in support of the war effort.
