President Woodrow Wilson secured his second term as president in the 1916 presidential election on a pacifist platform as he was generally against involving the U.S. in the First World War. Despite Congress already preparing the nation for the possibility of war with the National Defense Act and the Naval Construction Act passed during the same year, Wilson was still sure the U.S. could avoid war through diplomacy.
