The United States maintained a position of neutrality in World War I for about three years, from the war's outbreak in July 1914 until its entry in April 1917. Despite its neutral stance, the U.S. was economically and politically involved, with American businesses and banks heavily invested in the Allied powers. The shift towards involvement was influenced by various factors, including unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany and the Zimmermann Telegram. Ultimately, the U.S. joined the war on April 6, 1917.
