Why did most irish americans favor neutrality?
a. ireland did not take sides in the war.
b. they were afraid for their relatives in ireland.
c. they had a long-standing hostility toward britain.
d. they had a long-standing friendship with germany.
it's not a or b so which would it be? i just can't seem to figure it out. : (

I think the best answer from the choices listed above is option C. Irish American favor neutrality because they  had a long-standing hostility toward Britain. If they take sides,  they would have entered on the side of the British, and the Irish were adamantly opposed to helping the British since they would not recognize Irish independence.
