Say Yes to the Preparedness Movement (WW1)

The United States must prepare to join World War 1. If we do not step in the war could drag on much longer than needed thus killing many more innocent lives. The United States has the power to stop this war. With our military and naval power we can drastically cut the time needed to end the war. We need to be prepared to help out our allies if the need comes. The United States is a great and proud nation, and we need to provide help for all of those who need it. If we do not help out who else will? Many of our United States citizens have ancestral ties to the countries of Great Britain, France, and Italy, and some still have family and friends in those countries. We need to be ready to defend the land of our people’s ancestors, and the family, and friends of our people that are in Europe. France and Great Britainare fighting hard to protect all of their people and the people in their many colonies, should we not help them keep their people safe? The Central Powers are being attacking the magnificent culture of these lands. This war began because Gavrilo Princep, a Serbian man in the terrorist group the Black Hand, assassinated the Arch Duke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand. If they are willing to kill the Arch-Duke of Austria-Hungary, why would they stop there? They could take the lives of our allies, or our own people. The only way to stop this is to join the war,  we can put an end to the war and bring peace.
