What Are The Similarities Between President Roosevelt And Taft

This passage was on Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson and what they did and encountered during their presidency. Teddy Roosevelt had finished his term and decided not to run again in 1908.He served a total of seven and a half years as the U.S. president. Throughout the time of being president he helped Americans with politics, society and economic problems. When Teddy left office, he had so much power he was able to pick the next president. He chose William Howard Taft and he easily won the election. What Roosevelt didn’t know is that Taft wasn’t about to make him look good. Taft was the opposite of Teddy, Taft wanted to slow down the pace of reform. Taft was a huge disappointment to voters and Roosevelt. Roosevelt thought that he could still guide

After a tight and close race, Taft was once again the president of the United States. Roosevelt couldn’t believe it so he started his own party called the Progressive party. Its symbol was a moose and had a nickname of “Bull Moose” Party. Then the next election came up and the Democratic candidate won. His name was Woodrow Wilson and was the first southerner to be elected as president since 1848.Wilson would not have stood a chance if the Republican voters didn’t split. Wilson was more progressive than Taft. Wilson was the first president since John Adams to give the “state-of-the-union” address in person. He was very successfully as a president. Wilson crated the Federal Reserve banking system and it was designed to manage and stabilized the growing economy. He also created the Federal Trade Commission which helped regulate interstate commerce. Wilson wasn’t big on being a foreign policy president. In 1910, Mexico had a revolution and the U.S. military stabilized Mexico’s government. A rebellion was formed by Pancho Vila and killed a total of thirty-four Americans. Wilson issued a warrant to arrest Pancho but it was worthless because they never found him and World War 1 was about to break

grow in both military and economic status. World War 1 began in 1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia which was ruled by Europe. The background behind the war involved five major things. It involved imperialism and competition, disputes in Europe, many countries having military alliances, jingoism, and different ideologies about government and economic structure. Austria-Hungary sent its military to Serbia and in result led to Russia declaring war of Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary, Germany, the Ottoman Empire and Italy joined an alliance and was called the Central Powers. England, France, and Russia joined alliance and was called the triple alliance. The United States was neutral at first. The people of America and the president didn’t want to get involved in the war so they was isolated themselves. Germany’s main weapon was called the Untersee Boat and were deadly. The Untersee sunk a British ship called the Lusitainia and it had one hundred Americans on board. Wilson forced the Germans to apologizes and promise not to sink anymore ships. In 1917, the Germans broke that promise . Zimmerman, who was an official, wrote a secret message to Mexico and said if they teamed up with them they would help them defeat the U.S. The note didn’t make it to Mexico because the British got their hands on it and turned it in to the U.S. In April 1917, the U.S. declared war on Germany and became members of the Triple Alliance.
