When World War I broke out in Europe, Woodrow Wilson announced that the United States would stay out of European affairs and remain neutral. He issued a declaration of US neutrality and called upon the American people to support his policy by not taking sides. He hoped that the United States would remain neutral and continue to trade with warring nations. The United States hoped to stay out of the way because there was no reason for the U.S. to intervene with European affairs. Also, Wilson was aware of the huge immigrant populations whom have came from those nations currently at war. By 1915, America was linked economically to the Allies. Wilson's desire to remain impartial was dwindling as America drew closer and closer to Britain and France.

President Wilson declared the British seizure of American ships as a violation of the rights of a neutral nation's freedom of the seas but Britain continued to force American ships to be searched for food, medical supplies, and steel before reaching Germany. Although the United States was against the blockade, it had very little impact on the U.S. economy as England paid for lost cargo. Also, with England going to war,...
Prior to World War II the U.S. had adopted a largely isolationist policy, meaning there was little desire to get involved in the affairs of other countries unless they directly impacted the U.S.
