In the build-up to American involvement as an active combatant in World War I (in April of 1917), the general policy dominating American government and society was "Isolationism". Most Americans viewed the European war as just that -- European. Isolating themselves from the bloody and destructive conflict seemed to be a sensible and even profitable choice.
