America Positio
Neutrality
Going to war helped the United States protect its ships, businesses, and citizens from attacks by other countries.
Many Americans believed entering the war would help defend democracy and stop powerful nations from threatening U.S. freedom and security.
Neutrality gave the United States time to build up its economy and military strength, so if the country was forced to fight later, it would be better prepared and more powerful.

This shows that neutrality was meant to keep the U.S. out of World War I and protect the nation from getting involved in Europe’s conflict.

World War I kicked off in 1914 when the assassination of an Austrian archduke caused a chain reaction of alliances that dragged all the major powers into a massive fight. For four years, soldiers faced a brutal stalemate in muddy trenches while using terrifying new inventions like tanks, planes, and gas. The balance finally tipped in 1917 when the United States joined the side of the Allies, bringing in a huge wave of fresh troops and supplies. By late 1918, Germany and its partners were exhausted, starving from blockades, and facing revolutions at home. The fighting officially stopped at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, after Germany signed an agreement to quit the war.
Our Final answer and opinion
Germany was becoming a serious threat to other countries and could try to take over more land if no one stopped it. Staying neutral would not protect American ships, trade, or citizens from attacks. By joining the war, the United States could defend itself and prevent Germany from gaining too much power. Going to war also showed the world that the U.S. was strong and ready to protect its people and interests. Fighting in the war gave the United States a chance to become a powerful player on the world stage and influence how countries acted in the future.
Imperlism
Imperialism played a role because powerful countries wanted to expand their influence, control trade, and gain land and resources.
By joining the war, the United States increased its influence in world affairs and showed it was becoming a global power, not just a neutral nation.
Why war and neutrality is bad
war/neutrality
Neutrality
Shows concerns about American businesses lending money to countries involved in the war. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan argues that giving loans to a belligerent nation could break neutrality. If the U.S. loaned money to one side, it would be harder to remain neutral because American financial interests would depend on that side winning. This document explains why economic ties made neutrality difficult.
