When the Great War broke out in 1914, the U.S. was clear that they wanted no part in this “European quarrel” (1). The U.S. would remain neutral throughout numerous German prods until 1917 when they join the Allies. This paper will review why joining World War I was the right choice for the U.S. and how, despite all of our losses in the war, it ultimately benefited us. During the first year of the war, most Americans had little reason to be rooting for a particular side in the war other than…

In April 1917, the United States had the right to enter World War 1 on the side of England, France, and Russia. The reason why the United States had the right to enter is because Germany had already declared war on us and the people of the United States, the Zimmerman Note that Britain intercepted and gave to Wilson which stated an alliance with Mexico, and if we didn’t go to war, England, France, and Russia would have lost the war which would be bad for us if we stayed neutral.
