The Presidential election was won by Woodrow Wilson. He won (was reelected) after promising to keep the United States out of the war in Europe (World War I), but the US soon found itself involved in the crisis.

Answer:

Wilson was reelected in 1916., and the U.S. entered the War in 1917., accepting Wilson's foreign policy of interventionism in the name of liberalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28. United States President, elected on the 4th of March, 1913. His presidency lasted until March the 3rd, 1921.

In 1917., The United States od America entered the World War 1, influenced by Woodrow Wilson’s political ideology of liberal internationalism, also referred to as Wilsonianism or Wilsonian. This ideology supports the idea of liberal states to intervene in conflicts of other sovereign states in the world, to help spread the liberal values.

This is the reason why the U.S. intervened in the Great War in Europe, after the German submarine warfare.

Wilson asked the Congress to enter the war. The declaration of war against Germany was accepted in U.S. Congress on April the 6th, 1917.

After the war, Woodrow Wilson won the Nobel prize for peace.
