Abstract

The determining factor for American participation in the Great European War has been a topic of much discussion, argument, and copious writings in the years since President Woodrow Wilson's proclamation of war against Germany on April 2, 1917. When armed conflict broke out in 1914 among the powers of Europe, it involved many nations and took on global proportions, but no one envisaged American entrance into the struggle. Living a safe distance away, Americans felt it could not extend to their shores and saw no threat to their activities and security. They were opposed to foreign entanglements and desired strict adherence to their traditional isolation and peace.
