the break between the conservative and progressive republicans in the 1912 us presidential election also greatly helped the democrats regain the presidency and complete control over congress; even after the republican party reunited in the 1914 congressional elections, the republican party could not regain control of congress, thanks to the strong popularity wilson had obtained with his new freedom policy. however, president wilson's failure to protect the neutral rights of the american people helped the republicans obtain more seats in the us house of representatives than the democrats in the 1916 election; however, wilson was able to maintain his presidency after he won in the state of california for his opposition to the us entering the great war. despite this, democratic speaker of the house of representatives champ clark maintained his position, after the some of progressive party members of the us house of representatives agreed to caucus with the democrats; clark would maintain his position as united states speaker of the house until 1919. by the 1918 congressional elections, many american men were overseas fighting in the great war (later known as world war i), and with the american voting public wanting the war- which the us entered under democratic us president woodrow wilson- to end, the republicans, whom former us president theodore roosevelt had now strongly backed, easily managed to regain control of the us senate in this election, as well as control of the us congress, as the democratic party's popularity decreased because of president wilson's war efforts.
