Unit 5: WWI

 As a neutral nation, US could trade with any side ($700 million to $3.5 billion) America could benefit from exporting goods, materials, and resources to Europe  America was a nation of immigrants Can American really side with one group without upsetting part of the immigrant population?

 America was going through the progressive period  Woodrow Wilson didn’t want the nation to get sidetracked by war  Woodrow Wilson's father was a minister  Therefore, he did not like the idea of war

 Are these legitimate reasons for isolationism?  Does America really need to get involved in a European war?

 Immigrants  felt sympathy, Irish saw opportunity for freedom  Socialists  saw this as a fight between European economies for resources and markets around the world  William Jennings Bryan  a pacifist, saw war as evil

 America slowly begins to side with the Allies Ties back to England (cultural, language, government, ect) German aggression upset many Americans Had stronger economic ties with the Allied Powers
