Question

Do you think the United States was right to stay neutral for so long in world war 1? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The US government technically did not need to interfere in WW1 but German threats and British Propaganda gave the decision to the US to side with Allied forces. There were many German-Americans and Anglo-Americans at the time but they declared neutrality as Europe wasn't America's problem. Even after the war, foreign intervention became highly unpopular with the American populace and saw no reason to interfere. The Zimmerman telegram and unrestricted submarine warfare had angered the American government but if Germany had not sent the telegram and was more careful with submarine warfare who knows if the US would join in on WW1. It didn't matter about the size of the US active military force because conscription made up for that.
