He didn't declare war over those... and they were both loaded with ammunition. So, Wilson should have ignored the following?
- German submarine attack on the unarmed Laconia 2/26/17
- the Zimmermann telegram, clearly indicating a German willingness to form an anti-US military alliance with Mexico
- Three more unarmed American merchantment sunk 3/18/17
Given the above events preceding the declaration of war on 4/6/17, what would you have done as president,Woodrow Weikel? What's your answer?
I wouldn't have let anything get that far( I agree the Zimmerman telegram was a dumba** move) I would have told the Brits to f*** off with the blockade of American shipping to the north sea.
