The 1917 War Council Plays Out In Washington
In a tense scene at the White House, generals map mobilization across coast defenses and rail centers while a looming naval battle shapes the nation. The president weighs coalition colorations as 300,000 volunteers surge, panics ripple through banks, and naval strategy pits Atlantic defense against Pacific risk amid a rumored canal closure. The debate centers on whether to defend the seaboard or strike abroad, with the western coast fearing Japanese action as European war drags on. The exchange closes as a dramatic prompt for further action.
