WWI – Pro vs Con – Neutral or Fight


The United States had no choice but to fight in World War I. Before their entrance more than 6,000,000 men had died. The number of deaths were extremely intimidating to the unprepared United States army. The United States soon realized if they were to get involved they would lose 100,000 to 200,000 Americans. The United States plan of neutrality did not last long. Innocent American merchants were putting their lives at risk trying to trade during a time of war. Nearly 100 Americans were killed by German U-boats. The ties of American alliances pressured the United States into the war. Our delayed entrance was perfect for relieving tired allies and destroying tired enemies. In conclusion entering World War I was necessary.
