WWI Big Questions
The United States got involved in WWI for a multitude of reasons, but the key points include money and the practice of unrestricted submarine warfare on the German's part. Many wealthy businessmen invested in ammunition and other goods to be traded with countries fighting in the war (the Allies), and when the war started to turn in favor of the opposing side America was eager to not fall into sever debt. The practice of unrestricted submarine warfare on passenger vessels departed from the U.S. sparked the entry into the war for America. This action of war brought a sense of patriotism and valor into many of the American people, whom were eager to act violently on the side of the Allies to get justice. Though many questioned the entry of America into the war due to the big brother nature of their entry, most supported the entry. By using the term big brother I am proposing that some thought of America's entry into WWI as unnecessary and quite frankly as sticking their nose into other country's business. The involvement of America in WWI, though breif contributed greatly to the Allie's victory, and the respect the U.S. earned was priceless. Bringing fresh moral, supplies, and troops America took the fight to the opposing countries and secured a victory for the Allies.
