You sound like s STUPID, SPINELSS, “Libertatian” SOB. If you think that if we would have stayed(sp?) out of WWI the Kaiser, and his Ottoman Buddies would have just “Left us alone” WRONG! Learn HISTORY the Germans were wetting up RIGHT here in the US a “Fifth Column” around 1915 or so. Would you have rather have had to fight the Central Powers here or would you have rather faught them in Europe and/or Asia. Oh that’s right Cowards like YOU would have found some other BS “reason” not to fight(just like COWARDS always have)!
The Allies had to trade independence for a number of Eastern European states (based on plebiscites and religious and linguistic differences) in exchange for the US bothering to hold a draft to send Americans of Austro-Hungarian descent to fight Germans.
The German idea that they could depend on a fifth column of Germans in the US was, of course, total BS ~ most of those Germans were here simply because Germany provided them with nothing, and, to top it of, our earliest German immigrants ~ starting in the late 1600s, had come here as penniless refugees courtesy of the King of England ~ who, of course, was German himself.
Sorry, the citizenry here just never listen much to the leadership elites of Europe ~ never have ~ but they don't care to kill their cousins either. The threat wasn't that the US would turn on the Brits, but that we wouldn't stay neutral ~ none of which would have made any difference when the Spanish flu hit the battlefield. That war disappeared in days.
But, let me put it to you this way ~ nations don't have friends, they only have interests. it was not in the American interest to participate in WWI ~ no one there was a threat to us.
