Sandy, in both world wars America was reluctant to become involved in what they regarded as a European struggle. In addition the large number of Americans of German origin made it as likely that if they joined it would be on the German side rather than any other. After the first war they were appalled by the desire to blame and punish Germany, but couldn't sway the peace treaty negotiations.
