Answer 2

The correct answer is A) He believed the war overseas had nothing to do with the United States.

As world war l was unfolding In Europe, President Wilson insisted that America stay neutral because he believed the war overseas had nothing to do with the United States.

President Woodrow Wilson always wanted to maintain neutrality in the conflicts of Europe because he considered that the United States has no necessity to wage war in that region. Indeed, US companies had trade relations with countries of the Triple Entente (Russia, Great Britain, and France) and The Triple Alliance(Germany, Italy, and Austria.Hungary).

But things changed when the US decoded the Zimmerman telegram where Germany asked the help of Mexico and later, the sink of the Lusitania ship by the German navy. The US entered World War 1 on April 6, 1917.
