This act of diplomacy comes as we observe the anniversary of one of the largest international conflicts in history - 100 years ago, America declared war on Germany, and officially entered World War I. The War had been raging in Europe for nearly 3 years when President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress for the declaration of War, saying that he believed the fate of civilization was at stake.
Millions of Americans participated in the War Effort - including more than two hundred thousand people from Ohio.
