Why did America get involved in World War l?

When the First World War broke out in 1914, President Wilson promised to keep neutrality against the United States. And that is the position that most Americans support. However, the UK is one of America 's most intimate trading partners, the tension between the United States and Germany was triggered by the attempt of the British to isolate the British Isles.

In February 1915, Germany destroyed or sunk a number of US ships destined for the UK.

On May 7, a regular vessel RMS Lusitania owned by the UK was attacked by a torpedo near the coast of Ireland. Of the approximately 2,000 passengers on board, 1,201 people, including 128 Americans, died. The German government correctly said that Lusitania is carrying ammunition, but the United States has demanded compensation and has ended the German attack on unarmed passengers and merchant ships.

It has not yet reached the goal of war, but the sinking of a large non - armed passenger ship and the previous atrocities in Belgium have shocked the public opinion against Americans and Germany.

After several violations, Germany promised that it will never sink without warning, but resume unlimited submarine warfare without warning, hoping that Americans will be able to do effective military retaliation I decided to. Formerly, it will starve the British. With these attacks, American public opinion irreversibly began to oppose Germany.

German military leaders believe that unlimited submarine blockade is the only way to overcome the stall at the forefront of the western fight

Germany knows that this decision means war with the United States, but they bet that they can win before the potential force of the United States is mobilized. But they overestimated how many ships need to be sunk to significantly weaken the British.

They believe that the United States is very weak militarily, so that it can not become a factor in the Western front for at least another year. Their incredibly rapid and large mobilization by American people as war soldiers proved to be wrong.

Wilson won the re-election in November 1916 and announced that he would withdraw the war from the United States, but the arrival of the war is imminent. He told Congress that because of so many attacks on American people and property, the United States is already in war state even before it was announced. [1]

As the US president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to free the United States from war, the United States did not participate in the early stages of World War II. Even if America did not participate in the early stages of World War II, the United States had supplied war supplies to countries like the UK. Britain fell into war when Germany declared war on them and tried to hand over England and other European countries. American philosophy is "I want to separate from the world situation" and I think that the war that affects Europe and East Asia is not their biggest concern.

Many Americans became more and more strict as events in Europe began to occur, which ultimately led to World War II. The events of World War I are integrated into the American natural desire for isolationism as reflected in neutral passage and general discordance of events on the world stage. The UK promises not to export leased items. Since that time, the United States established a base in Greenland, then issued the "Atlantic Charter" (August 14, 1941), a joint statement of Britain and the United States aimed at anti-fascist war. The Atlantic fight began with serious damage caused by German U boat. This fight will last throughout the war

The United States entered World War I on 6 April 1917. Until then, the United States had tried to avoid World War I - dealings with the countries involved in the war - but the Germans introduced an unlimited submarine war on January 9th. This was the main problem that Woodrow Wilson began asking Congress for a war declaration with Germany in 1917. Four days later, the United States joined the Allied Forces in the First World War. In 1914, when Europe declared the war, the United States adopted a neutral and isolated policy. When the news of war and the terrorist incident related to it arrived on the coast of the United States, I confirmed that I took the right approach to the government. Their approach has received full support from most Americans - many of them may fall into the depth described by war and the waste associated with this strategy, a civilized entity called Europe I can not believe it.
