EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when President Woodrow Wilson addressed a joint session of the United States Congress on April 2, 1917, to deliver the news that America would enter World War I against Germany. The room is filled with solemn and attentive lawmakers, all dressed in their formal attire, as Wilson delivers his impassioned speech from the podium. The president's stern expression and outstretched hand convey the gravity of the situation and the importance of the decision he was about to make. The First World War, which had been raging in Europe since 1914, had remained largely a European conflict until this point. However, the sinking of the Lusitania in May 1915, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,000 American civilians, had shifted public opinion in favor of intervention. The Zimmerman Telegram, a German proposal for Mexico to ally with Germany and attack the United States, further galvanized support for war. Wilson's address to Congress marked the beginning of America's involvement in the Great War, which would last for over two years and result in the deaths of over 116,000 American soldiers. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in American and world history, as the United States joined the global conflict that would ultimately reshape the political and social landscape of the 20th century.
