At the beginning of World War I, both German as well as Irish immigrants wanted the United States to remain neutral. However, after hearing about war atrocities and the sinking of the Lusitania, Germany began to be viewed as the villain. Germans, although most only had loose ties with their homeland, were fearful they would be targeted for Germanyâ??s actions. The Irish, were adamant about not helping the British Empire in any way because of its refusal of Irish independence.
