Final answer:

Before entering World War I, the United States was neutral, but eventually joined the war to support the Allied Powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before entering World War I, the United States was neutral. President Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep the United States out of the war, as it had little to do with the country's interests at the time. However, as the war progressed and events such as the sinking of U.S. ships and the Zimmerman Telegram occurred, public sentiment shifted, and eventually, the United States entered the war in 1917 to support the Allied Powers, which included France, Great Britain, and Russia originally. Italy, Japan, Belgium, and the United States later joined the Allied Powers as well.
