US after WW1

The United States joined WWI in 1917

World War One officially started in Europe in 1914. For the first time ever the world was a war. Before 1914 most wars were between countries sharing borders. No longer was that to be true. Then. Now. Future.

Because of the outcome of WWI, the United States became the most powerful military the world has ever known.

The United States came into the war three years after it had started in 1917.

After the world war one, Americans were very afraid. They believed that the war was a terrible thing, and everyone besides Americans were terrible. They were scared of outsiders. They were also scared of becoming a communism country. This would make rich people very upset because they had to share their money with everyone.

To relieve some of these fears, they became nativist. They only wanted to be around people who were classified "American." They also isolated themselves from other countries. This caused them to be racist. Since they were scared of becoming communist, they hunted people that they believed were apart of the communism party.
Americans had fears that related to the League of Nations. They had collective security vs. national soreignty. They did not want to deal with other countries. They had idealism vs. pragmatism. They wanted to force idealistic goals.
The goals of the communist were to create a economic and political system. They wanted create a single-party government ruled by the working class. They wanted to disribute wealth and party equally.

Germanys Dissatisfaction

   During  WWI, many conflicts occurred between nations due to  the alliances that had been created at the time. According to the article "Germany's Dissatisfaction" by Danny Blas, Germany from the Central Powers was blockaded by Great Britain who was on the other side which was the Allies. Great Britain soon saw that the U.S. was shipping ammunition to Germany so, they decided to take a step and create a blockade.

Then the U.S. found out about what was happening they decided to stop sending ships to deliver supplies in consequence  it upset the Germans. Approximately 750,000 Germans died from starvation as the result of the British blockade. The Blockade was intercepting every  U.S. boat and didn't let any supplies come to the Germans so they took action and attacked.
       Germany  in response for their attack used U-Boats to sink British ships not caring who were on the ships. A tragic experience that Americans faced was in May 7, 1915 when many American were lost.

Woodrow Wilson try to prevent war and make peace.

       The U.S. president Woodrow Wilson at the time didn't want to get involved in physical action with Germany instead  they tried to come to an agreement. The U.S. mediate a compromise between Germany and Britain. Woodrow Wilson through WWI wanted to keep things calmed and not go into physical  action and prevent to go to war because of the blockade.
      If I livid during WWI in my opinion i would agree with the goal that Woodrow Wilson had in mind. I believe the idea was a good start to first be calmed  prevent war and try to talk things out. Then come out with an agreement.
