No, she ardently opposed US intervention in the European War, as it was then called (there was no Pacific Theatre in WWI). by the way she won the l93l Nobel Peace prize so pacifist activity was in-character.

What would the world be like without Jane Addams?

Without Jane Addams, the landscape of social reform in the United States would likely be significantly altered. Her pioneering work in establishing settlement houses, advocating for women's suffrage, and promoting peace during World War I laid the groundwork for future social work and community organizing. The absence of her influence might have slowed the progress of social reforms related to labor rights, education, and public health. Additionally, the establishment of social justice movements may have lacked the depth and recognition that Addams brought to issues of poverty and inequality.
