World War I

Not a good war. This lecture covers the causes of World War I and the reasons for America's eventual entry into the war; some discussion of how the war was "framed" by Wilson and his administration.
Apologies for the poor sound quality -- I had to record this lecture using my computer's internal microphone, so the audio is a little softer than usual.
