Prior to World War I, several key rivalries shaped international relations, notably the tensions between the major European powers. The Franco-German rivalry stemmed from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, which left France humiliated and eager for revenge. Additionally, the competition between Britain and Germany over naval supremacy and colonial expansion created further friction. The Austro-Hungarian and Russian rivalry in the Balkans also heightened tensions, as both empires sought to expand their influence in the region, setting the stage for the conflict that would erupt into World War I.

Prior to the U.S. entry into World War I, President Woodrow Wilson maintained a policy of neutrality, emphasizing the importance of keeping the United States out of the conflict. He advocated for peace and encouraged diplomacy, believing that the U.S. could act as a mediator. Wilson sought to promote international cooperation and avoid entanglement in European rivalries, though he later shifted his stance as events, such as unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram, prompted him to support U.S. involvement in the war.
