No, our banks wanted the loans they gave the Allies repaid. That wasn't going to happen in a stalemate.
We should, however, have not allowed the French to enacted a retributive peace treaty on Germany.
Where else were they going to get the money to repay the United States?
But, hind sight is 20/20 and who could have known the French would be so cowardly when the NAZIs rose up?
Kinda hard to fight when all your men died in the first war.
As for WWII, we had no choice. Japan attacked us, and Germany declared war on us.
Funny how that happens when you blockade a country dependent upon imports.
