CONTACT:Prof Jane Chapman
DESCRIPTION:By the time neutral America officially joined WWI in April 191
 7 as an “Associate” of the Allies\, Theodore Roosevelt had for two and
  a half years been carrying on a quixotic and unpopular struggle at home. 
 This domestic crusade was fought against what he considered the craven neu
 trality of Woodrow Wilson\, whose very presence in the White House TR blam
 ed on himself. This talk examines these years in the multiple\, intertwine
 d\, contexts of Roosevelt’s post-presidential political career\, the pre
 paredness movement\, and the “Special Relationship” he fostered betwee
 n America and Britain which helped define his perceptions of the war in Eu
 rope.  \n\n
