July 28, 1914-Novermber 11, 1918 Wilson gets approval from congress on April 2, 1917 to go to war. The assassination of the archduke of Austria caused the outbreak on June 28, 1914. The Germans promised to help the Austrians and things built up with each side getting more and more allies until one shot set off the war.
