strong cultural ties to Great Britain

The cultural ties the US has to its former mother country created sympathy in the US for their situation in World War I. Furthermore, the US had a strong trade relationship with Great Britain that was being disrupted by the war.

Wilson, president during WWI, had made it known he favored England. However, with so many immigrants recently arriving in the US from opposing countries, he felt it was best to stay out of the conflict. Investors and businesses continued to trade with Great Britain and their ties to England would eventually bring the US closer to war. Great Britain had become a friend and ally to the US through the 19th century and that sympathy made it easy for the US to choose sides when the time came.

  Strong cultural ties to Great Britain.

Explanation:

  United States entered World War I two and a half years after it started. Previous to that the U.S. remained neutral but was an important supplier to the allied powers with Great Britain among them.

  There was a great sense of admiring toward Great Britain because of the cultural elements they both share known as Anglophile. Besides the American opinion toward Germany was the most negative of the European countries. One of the causes was the unrestricted submarine warfare and also the desire of Germany to ally with Mexico against the United States.
