Key Points:

  • America remained neutral for a majority of the war due to Isolation and neutrality policies
  • Multiple events built up to cause the U.S. to change neutrality policies and declare war (sinking of the Lusitania, interception of the Zimmerman Note, Germany's broken Sussex Pledge)
  • A majority of the U.S. early involvement was with money, supplies, and weapons
  • Domestic policies were geared toward supporting the war effort (CPI and War Production Board)
    *Many individual liberties were taken away during the war such as limitations on freedom of speech
  • The war to end all wars created more tension with foreign nations and domestically
