Correction: Wilson's inauguration date in the video is wrong. There used to be annotations that corrected this as an overlay in the video but YT has since done away with that feature. Wilson was actually inaugurated in March 1917, because he can't time travel and because inaugurations used to take place in March before the 20th Amendment.
In words yes, in deeds no. As the war went on it became increasingly obvious the US was favoring the Entente for the reasons discussed in video, but Wilson drove home the idea of neutrality for as long as he could.
And thte Lusitania was a legal war target because she carried ammunition for the Brits. Something some historians like not to mention for some reason. So one Torpedo was enough to sink the ship because the ammuntion exploded.
Fun fact: The Olympic, Titanic(yes, the titanic you know) and Britannic were built to beat the Lusitania and Mauretania in speed, size and Luxury but they only beat them by size and Luxury
Just watch Peter Jackson's documentary on World War II and wanted to see if anybody had a US intervention video this came up and it was the best one well done
It’s a shame that this video doesn’t have more views. I guess this is too close to the truth. It could have been a bit deeper on some subjects, like the exact financial benefits had from the war, the loans , the manufacturing, weapons industry. Also it’s a shame that the start of the war isn’t mentioned and the British role in the start of wwI . Also the us role in the Versailles treaty , blaming Germany for everything for financial reasons
WW1 was supposed to be unnecessary war for US so US didn't want to involved in WW1 actually because of their exceptionalism rules to keep living in peace without being involved in any war even though Britain have give a requested for US many time for being involved in this war to help them for pushed those German in that War but still US rejected that operation. However, German forced American to involved by attacking a numerous ship that have American Civilians in it and they even attack those US Cargo ship at that time. Then US declared a war against Germany. Same with WW2 which were started in 1939, US keep their exceptionalism to not involved in this war but just 2 years after WW2 happened, they got involved in 1941 when they declared a war against Japanese after the Pearl Harbor tragedy happened because of the Japanese attacked
Thanks for your comment YT. The attack on the Lusitania, the ship that carried American civilians was in May 1915, and the US didn't enter the war until April 1917 almost two years later. The Lusitania was just one part of the tensions between the US and Germany that led to US entry into WWI.

get some bitches
5:53 January 2017 🤣 it's okay. Still giving you a like.
6:04 2017?
Should be 1917. Corrected annotations were lost with YT updates unfortunately.
you cant be that obtuse
honestly pretty underrated channel, explanation was pretty good and so is the visuals
U.S.A: *enter ww1*
German empire: _Ah sh*t here we go again_
After staying out of the war for several years, the US entered WW1 in 1917. Watch this to find out why, and let us know what you think!
i hve to watch this for school work
Yeah dude 😢😢
Same QwQ
Love to support these small channels! Great video thank you 😊
A brilliant brief explanation of a very complicated story! Thanks!
Did anyone else hear January 2017
Yep! You did. There used to be annotations correcting it until YT did away with them.
@@HistoryCurator .
You should do an entire video on the Lusitania's sinking. I have never seen an entire video talking about the Lusitania! Have a good day!
@Alexander Challis uh ok?
great vid really helped
The US was never neutral. It refused to object to the illegal British blockade, and provided the UK and France with weapons.
In words yes, in deeds no. As the war went on it became increasingly obvious the US was favoring the Entente for the reasons discussed in video, but Wilson drove home the idea of neutrality for as long as he could.
And thte Lusitania was a legal war target because she carried ammunition for the Brits.
Something some historians like not to mention for some reason. So one Torpedo was enough to sink the ship because the ammuntion exploded.
Something historians don't like to mention because not all of them agree that it had ammunition besides Remington cartridges which wasn't illicit.
This video helps a lot, should be millions views.
There was actually a rather large amount of support for the Central powers in America.
Follow the money. What happened 4 years before the United States entered the war? What was the Belfour declaration?
Very helpful, thanks!
Why do you only have 37 subscribers?
Hopeful for more in the future!

Don't know why my phone autocorrects for World War one with two
LOL your phone was like: no, world war 1 is not a thing. the floor is not floor.
In the beginning of World War I, which side did the U.S. pick?
Woodrow wasnt inaugurated jn January it was in March
You're correct! It also wasn't 2017 :)
Back to back world war champions
This video is amazing and cook
about 67,274 views and 412 subscribers and 595 likes, for now but 2017 wow
What are the main reasons the US entered WWI?
I'm trying to find that out as well
it's 6:04
TORPEDO CLOSING ON THE STARBOARD BOW
Lord belfort declaration
I think Lusitania
They used the sinking as a selling point for why the war was being fought pretty much. It’s honestly gross to me.
Germany messed up
Battlefield 1 World War 1 Video Game
WW1 Gun 1917 Burton 1917 LMR in BF1?
USA crying for the freedom of the seas while Germany is at blocus and it's civilians die from hunger xD
I hate school
Simple everyone was getting destroyed and they wanted America to help witch they did and destroyed everyone ending the war

@@HistoryCurator If we had sided with the central powers there likely wouldn't have been a world war 2
ok
1917*
