What factors might account for the difference between President Roosevelt's reasction to war in Europe in the 1930s and President Wilson's reaction to World War 1?

President Roosevelt's reaction to the war in Europe during the 1930s was influenced by the lingering trauma of World War I, leading him to adopt a more cautious and isolationist approach initially. In contrast, President Wilson was more idealistic and believed in the necessity of U.S. intervention to promote democracy and ensure global peace. Additionally, the economic context of the Great Depression made Roosevelt wary of engaging in another costly conflict, while Wilson faced less immediate economic pressure when the U.S. entered WWI. These differing contexts shaped their respective foreign policies and responses to international conflicts.
