History
U.S Involvement in WWI
The United States remained neutral in the early parts of the war until Germany destroyed an American ship carrying civilians and by capturing another ship. The United States was forced to enter the war based on the actions of Germany. It was inevitable for United States to enter the war because when Americans were being killed it is a call for war. Germany and their all allies made United States a target because it was supplying the allies with ammunition and other supplies. The United States could not just stand by and watch their allies fight without joining.
The United States maintained neutrality in WWI by supplying aid and ammunition to their allies. They let the allies do the fighting and they supplied them with whatever they needed. Also, America had not faced direct threat from the enemies so it was easy to keep their neutrality. Also, the diplomacy between the United States and Europe could not be jeopardized. The war was happening in Europe and not in America so that made it easier for the U.S to remain neutral in WWI
It was as if the United States were tempted to enter WWI because Germany actions. The allies were not strong enough and they did not have enough supplies to defeat the enemies. If the United States did not join the war, there was a high chance the war might have gone for a long time or might even be lost.
