Yes they should have gotten involved

I believe that the U.S. did the right thing in getting involved in WW1. Germany's return to unrestricted warfare with ther uboats was a clear violation of internatinal law and endangered U.S. trade. This was a clear act of war on Germany's part. Had the U.S. not stepped up to Germany's then many U.S. ships would have been sunk without restriction. The U.S. was also longing for the war in terms of popular will. Many americans were severely angered by the zimmerman telegraph which Germany sent to Mexico. If we had not enetered the war who knows to what lengths Germay would have gone to prevent the U.S. from entering the war. The U.S. also had crucial economic and political ties to the allied powers. If Wilson had not chosen to enter the war and if the allies had lost, then all U.S. investments in Britain and France would have gone to waste. Finally, the U.S. wanted to play an influencial part in the reconstruction of Europe and the continued protection of democracy, which they could not be a part of unless they helped the allies win the war. They wouldn't have had the slightest influence unless they took part in the war. So culturaly, militarily, economicaly, and popularly the U.S. had to enter the war.
