The president of the United States during World War I was Woodrow Wilson. He served as the 28th president from 1913 to 1921. Initially, Wilson pursued a policy of neutrality when the war began in 1914, aiming to keep the U.S. out of the conflict. However, after Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and attempted to involve Mexico against the U.S. through the Zimmerman Telegram, Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917. He framed America's entry into the war as a mission to "make the world safe for democracy" and led the country through the conflict until its end
