To start, on difference is that T.R. was an advocate of war and liked everything about it. Perhaps the reason for this is because his father did not fight in the Civil War and Teddy was embarrassed. He supported war and even led his own calvary, the “Rough Riders”, in the Spanish-American War. Woodrow would do anything to stay out of war. German subs sank an American ship and the U.S. didn’t enter the war because Wilson wanted to “keep the peace”. Wilson did everything in his power to keep the U.S. neutral, but when German subs sank 3 American ships, he eventually had to enter the war. Although we did enter the war, it was for a very short period of time. Woodrow really disliked war and did everything to stay clear of it. The most obvious difference between the two is that T.R. was a Republican while Woodrow was a Democrat. These two men, who share many similarities, were actually opposing political parties. It’s hard to imagine, but it’s T.R.ue. My last difference between these two men is the way they came into presidency. T.R. was forced into the presidency after the untimely assassination of William McKinely, while Woodrow Wilson ran for it and was originally elected. T.R. came into the presidency abruptly and didn’t like the way he entered, while Wilson went in anxious to begin.

T.R. was a better shot and could have whipped W.W. any day of the week.
