Early on in WW 1 most Americans viewed the war as an example of why the US should not involve itself in European wars. The secret treaties, the chaos and alliances formed all encouraged Americans to not want to be involved. Later, due to German submarine warfare, and anti-German Propaganda, many Americans saw the war as democratic nations at war with despotic ones. This gave Americans a more favorable view of the western Allies. This allowed for the entry of the US into that war, especially the non restricted German submarine policy.
