In this episode of Dave Does History, we dive into one of the most pivotal speeches in American history—President Woodrow Wilson’s April 2, 1917 address to Congress, calling for a declaration of war against Germany.

With a nation divided and neutrality hanging by a thread, Wilson laid out his case in moral and measured tones. Why did America finally join the Great War? What tipped the scales—from sunken ships to secret telegrams?

Join us as we explore the speech, the drama in Congress, and the lasting legacy of Wilson’s words. History is calling—and this time, it declared war.
