WW1

           World War I began in 1914, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and lasted until 1918. During the conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers). Thanks to new military technologies and the horrors of trench warfare, World War I saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction. By the time the war was over and the Allied Powers claimed victory, more than 16 million people—soldiers and civilians alike—were dead.

    I think that the results WWI was the main reason that the US wanted to stay neutral in WWII. Since every country experienced large casualties in WWI, most countries wanted to avoid war at all costs. While the US eventually got involved in WWII, it was not because we wanted to win the war, but that we feared if we lost the war, life as it was would be much different.
