Tonight at 7, the Hancock Town Library will present “Making Good from the Great War: The United States’ Entrance into World War I” with professor Kurk Dorsey.
One hundred years ago, President Woodrow Wilson faced a monumental dilemma about how to respond to the war in Europe, which had been raging for more than two years. In this illustrated talk, Dorsey, professor of history at UNH and a specialist on U.S. foreign policy, will describe how Wilson tried to make something good from the Great War, first by trying to mediate a peace without victory and then by choosing to intervene in the war on the Allied side.
Dorsey’s research interests include U.S. foreign policy, environmental history, and the history of Canada. Free and open to all. For more information, call 525-4411.
