The United States should have entered World War I

The United States made a good decision in entering into World War I. One reason for this is that the security of the United States had been threatened by the Germans. An example of this came when the British ship Lusitania had been sunken by a German submarine. This ship was carrying passengers from the U.S and in its sinking more than one hundred of the American passengers died. This proved that the United States had to protect its allies or else the Germans would continuously attack America until they either submitted or fought back. In 1917 the Germans further provoked America by offering Mexico help if they invaded America. It was necessary that America would let the war take its course or defend themselves on the German front. Another reason that America should have participated in World War I was American nationalism and their idea of who should rule and what form of government to follow. Americans wanted democracy, and the German government, if it won World War I, would prosper and become a non-democratic major ruling power of Europe. Also, in America there was much dismay over our allies fighting without America in the picture to help them. Common people wanted to help the allies fight the huge German Army and see America triumph over the German government, who was portrayed in the United States to be an evil ruling power. That is why the United States should have entered World War I.
