Many Americans favored one side or the other. As the war dragged on in Europe, President Wilson urged Americans to remain neutral. The United States had a long tradition of staying out of European conflicts. Yet one-third of Americans had been born in a foreign country and still identified with their homelands. How did the US feel about the war?

Isolationists Favored staying out of the war Interventionists Favored fighting on the Allies’ side Internationalists Wanted the U.S. to play a role for peace but not fight U.S. public opinion fell into three main groups.

Early in the war, the British navy had set up a blockade of Germany. Britain’s goal was to intercept contraband goods. In defiance of international law, Britain also prevented non- contraband goods, such as food and gasoline, from reaching Germany. Germany responded by trying to blockade Britain.

German U-boats torpedoed ships bound for Britain. On May 7, 1915, a U-boat sank the British passenger ship Lusitania off the coast of Ireland, killing 128 Americans.

Americans were angry about the Lusitania. Germany promise to not sink any more passenger ships but they violated it in 1916 with Sussex. President Wilson still wanted peace, but he began to prepare for the possibility of war. In 1916, Congress passed the National Defense Act and the Naval Construction Act.

The Zimmermann Note was intercepted. In this telegram, Germany tried to forge an alliance with Mexico against the United States. Germany returned to a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, sinking any ship headed for Britain. Two events in 1917 led President Wilson to ask Congress to declare war on the Central Powers.

On April 2, 1917, Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying “The world must be made safe for democracy.” Congress responded with a declaration of war on April 6, and the United States entered World War I.
