You call the desire for liberty and independence “over ambitious”?

Nationalism was more the cause, and France and Austria-Hungry, Germany bear more of the blame than Russia. Russia wasn’t to blame for starting WWI.

The World War was a European Problem not the matter of a nation across the Atlantic Ocean. The US entered the War because the Germans were forcing us into the war. Zimmerman Note, Lusitania, Sinking of US cargo ships. After the war the Nation left the world theater again because they didn't want to get involved again on world affairs. If they were maybe the second one would been a lot shorter. The People believed in a plot of Isolationism. The World War was a European Problem not the matter of a nation across the Atlantic Ocean.

President woodrow wanted to stay neutral. Once the Germans started to sink U.S merchant ships is when we got involved. The German leader htough that if they sank U.S ships that the British would have to back out of the war, but it turns out that they just pissed us off and payed the price for it.

But there were good domestic political reasons for the United States not intervening. Over the previous fifty years, it had absorbed and unified an enormous mixture of European entrepreneurs and refugees, the "huddled masses yearning to be free". Old Europe with its divisions and hostility represented everything they had fled from, and America's peace and unity among nationalities was showing the better way. Surely public opinion would have been against the country getting involved in exactly what it had succeeded in rising above. Even the sinking of the Lusitania, frequently and wrongly cited as the reason for the US entering the war, didn't alter this stance. But finally, at end-March 1917, came the admission by the German foreign minister Zimmerman that he had indeed proposed (see web site below) that Mexico and Germany should declare war together on the USA, and thereby regain for Mexico parts of the southern states lost in a much earlier war. Public opinion reversed almost overnight at this, and Congress declared war after all. So arguably none of this was a matter of policy, or change of policy. All of it was a truly democratic response of Congress to public opinion. Well, from Britain, it looked damned unfriendly at first, basically because we spoke the same language and seemed untreated allies.

But there were excellent domestic political reasons for the United States not intervening. Over the previous fifty being, it had absorbed and unified an enormous mixture of European entrepreneurs and refugees, the “huddled masses yearning to be free”. Ancient Europe with its divisions and hostility represented everything they had fled from, and America’s peace and unity among nationalities was screening the better way. Surely public attitude would have been against the country getting caught up in exactly what it had succeeded in rising above.

The casus belli was the sank of the Lusitania by a German U-20 sub (Of the 197 Americans on board, 128 lost their lives.)
