Michael Neiberg is a Professor of History in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pa.
Dr. Neiberg discusses the reactions of everyday Americans to the outbreak of World War I. He argues that such a "bottom up" approach provides a better understanding of what American views were and how they changed than the traditional "top down" view that American attitudes reflected those of President Woodrow Wilson.
Presented November 8, 2014 as part of the National World War I Museum and United States World War I Centennial Commission 2014 Symposium, "1914: Global War & American Neutrality."
The Symposium was held in association with The Western Front Association East Coast Branch and the World War I Historical Association. Sponsored by Colonel J's, the Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund and Verlag Militaria.
