Random History - The Comedy (or Tragedy) of Our Species

Why the US sat out, its foray into Mexico, and a telegram that changes the mind of a nation

Show Notes

The US was not interested in involving itself in a European Affair.  At least that was the consensus overall in the United States.  This feeling was especially strong in the West.  Woodrow Wilson seems to have been a dove with a hawk cabinet.  What changed the nation's mind to send its boys "over there"?  How did a Mexican bandit get the US Army ready for war in Europe?

What is Random History - The Comedy (or Tragedy) of Our Species?

Exploring various topics of history and government with a feeble attempt at humor. Don't worry I lack the storytelling ability of a Dan Carlin, the commitment to a fast pace and consistent release schedule of a Mike Duncan. Nor do I have the calm and reassuring voice of a Robin Pierson. What I do have is some spare time and boredom and want to talk about random things in history.
