Question

In A People's History of the United States, in chapter 14 "War is the health of the state," why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I? What is your opinion?

Answer 1

Answer:
According to Howard Zinn, Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War 1
Because Wilson claims that Germany was attacking the American submarines and ships but on the other hand British arm forces were also violating the rights of the citizens of America.
According to Zinn, the main reason for America for entering in the world war 1 was that Britain was the loan of interest and one of the markets of the American goods.
Hence, If Allies lost in the world war, the invested money of America also lost.
