Origins of American Involvement in WWI

Today we explored the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine and analyzed the shifts that took place in American Foreign Policy as a result. We selected the five key quotes from the document that exhibited those shifts.  We then began to study the origins of World War One as well as America's road to engaging in that conflict by watching the first 25 minutes of the video below.
We finished by beginning a discussion about when (or if) the United States' should have engaged militarily in the conflict.
