And WW campaigned on a NON-intervention platform.

On this day, April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson stood before Congress and urged a declaration of war against Germany, pulling the United States into World War I. He painted it as a moral imperative, but the U.S. had no vital interest in Europe’s brutal stalemate—submarine threats and alliances didn’t justify the cost. Over 116,000 Americans perished, millions more were wounded, and the nation racked up debt for a war that ended in a harsh treaty, planting seeds for WWII.

This wasn’t our fight; it was an unnecessary plunge into foreign chaos. The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania condemns such interventions. Wars abroad don’t protect liberty—they expand government and squander lives. We thrive by staying out of distant battles, not by joining them.
