Read the sentence from "How We Entered World War I."

The belief in our safe isolation was reinforced by Wilson, who, bent on pursuing the New Freedom through domestic
reform, was irritated by the threatened interference with his program from over seas.

Answer:

Unclear what the question is.

Step-by-step explanation:

In WW1 Wilson tried to stay out of the war and stay neutral, supplying both sides. But Germany was not happy with the US supplying the Allies, so on January 31, 1917, Germany announced that they would commence the renewal of unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic. They sunk an unarmed ship, called the Lusitania, a British passenger liner, which killed 128 Americans. The Germans also tried to get Mexico to invade the US to distract them, called the Zimmermann Telegram.
