In the history of America there were two world wars which were conducted, both of which the United States had not entered until fairly after the beginning of each war trying to keep peace and stay out of war. During the First World War, President Wilson had kept the United States out of the war believing the war is savagery and that the U.S. is above such actions and remains a neutral force.

On edge Japanese Americans were escorted inland. During the First World War, no such acts were committed, or as vastly as they were in World War
