President Woodrow Wilson appeared before a joint session of Congress on April 2, 1917, to propose a declaration of war against Germany. Wilson's decision to lead the United States into World War I was primarily motivated by Germany's resumption of submarine attacks on passenger and commerce ships in 1917.
