Explanation:

Staying out of World War I allowed President Woodrow Wilson to narrowly win re-election in November 1916. But five months later he called the country into battle against the Germanic Empire, with these words: "The world must get to except for democracy. We do not have selfish ends to serve. We do not want to conquer or dominate. "

Despite their sympathies for Britain, France and their allies, the United States remained neutral in the early years of the war. The commercial ties with the allies remained firm, because the British Navy controlled the seas, blocking the access of Germany to vital goods. Germany tried to break the Allied naval blockade using submarines, with which they sank military ships, merchants and civilians, among them the Lusitania, a cruiser of the Cunard line, in 1915. Among the 1,198 passengers killed there were 128 Americans. the glass was the resumption of submarine war without restrictions by Germany and the interception of the "Zimmerman telegram". The telegram revealed a German plot to help Mexico recover Texas, New Mexico and Arizona if it attacked the United States.
