President Wilson Urges War Against Austria-Hungary
President Wilson addresses Congress urging a declaration of war on Austria-Hungary and endorsing eventual action against Turkey and Bulgaria if needed. He outlines aims to defeat German autocracy, secure peace based on justice, reject punitive annexations, and mobilize all resources for a total war effort while stressing no desire to impair Austria-Hungary’s sovereignty. He calls for updated alien enemy laws, price controls, and coordinated wartime legislation to sustain the conflict.
