| McKinley's War Message |
McKinley eventually changed his mind towards neutrality in the Cuba v Spain war. He believed it was the United States' obligation to protect Cuba under the Monroe Doctrine and soon joined the fray. Besides protecting Cuban interests, McKinley thought that he had American interests at heart. He thought the war was hurting international trade and commerce between the United States and Cuba. The war proved to be a danger to American peace, and an expensive one at that.

Woodrow Wilson's war message asking Congress
to declare war on Germany was similar to McKinley's
as he felt it was right to protect other countries, and most
of all, the welfare of the United States.
