cause they saw it was the land of opportunity. However many Europeans saw America as socially primitive, culturally backwards, substantially naive,hopelessly idealistic and very arrogant. Given these attitudes by the Europeans, it was surprising that America gotinvolved in World War I. The major reason for their involvement was Americaninternational trade. The United States was trading with the Germans and the British at theoutset of the war. All of this trade was necessarily conducted via merchant shipping.America believed that since the were not in the war, their ships should be allowed to sailinto ports of and belligerent countries without interference. The Germans and the Britishdid not see things quite this way. Within a few months after the outbreak of war, Britaindeclared a naval blockade against shipment of possible war material to Germany, and later any shipment to Germany was blocked. American vessels were stopped and cargoes wereseized. The Germans responded with a submarine blockade of British waters. The Germanpolicy of unconditional submarine warfare meant that any ship entering theGerman-declared war zone in the waters around Britain could be sunk without anywarning.
