Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ferdinand von Stumm

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Ferdinand von Stumm

Theodore Roosevelt does not approve of Germany’s “blood-and-iron policy” but favors it over the Wilson administration’s “milk-and water policy.” Roosevelt does not believe in being neutral in matters of right and wrong. As such, his statements regarding the war have angered his English and German friends. Roosevelt is attempting to act as a good American and is angered by German Americans or Irish Americans who, because of their birth origin, are trying to influence the United States to act counter to its interests in favor of the interests of Germany or Ireland.
