America and the War

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. Between 1897 and 1914 U.S. commercial investments overseas had increased from $700 million to $3.5 billion. Neutrality

Isolationists favored staying out of the war Interventionists favored fighting on the Allies’ side Internationalists wanted the United States 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 noncontraband 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 many Americans.

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. Americans were angry about the Lusitania. Germany failed to keep its promise made in the Sussex Pledge to not sink any more passenger ships.

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, 1917, and the United States entered World War I.
