Why didn't the United States want to participate in World War I?

The new America is actually still a loose confederacy, not a country like France or Britain at the same time. For a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many internal contradictions, north-south division, east-west division and tense relations. After the Civil War, the United States gradually converged in administration and thought, but the process was very long. Before World War I, for Americans, the concept of "American" still lacked some core things.

After the Civil War, the real climax of American immigration occurred in19th century. Due to the influence of the European war and more opportunities for making money in the United States, immigrants from all over the European continent poured into the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, Jews, Central Europeans, Eastern Europeans and so on.

It is this complex demographic background that became the main consideration of American President Wilson during World War I. After all, more than 8 million of the more than 100 million people were born in Germany or their parents were German, not to mention other Serbs from Austria-Hungary and so on. Many people in a country are actually not on the same front, and they have different expectations for the outcome of the war.

If the United States had intervened in the war in Europe at that time, it would probably have triggered the American Civil War. This nationalism formed by racial differences will actually threaten the "civic spirit" that the United States has finally established. In addition, almost every country, especially a big country, did not have the motivation to show off in World War I. In the eyes of Americans, it was more like several countries in the old continent fighting for some new hatred and old hatred. Not only do they have no morality, but participating in it will also involve the United States, which originally occupied a geographical advantage, in unnecessary disputes.

For the United States at that time, World War I was an opportunity. When Europeans can't extricate themselves from the current war, their colonies in America and even Asia are more vulnerable to infiltration.
