Here is a book that might be helpful:\nThe passing of American neutrality, 1937-1941 (University of Michigan publications) by Donald Francis Drummond (Author)\nhttp://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/ow/6c6c2df66144cfd0.html\n\nShort info on neutrality:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrality_Acts\n\nHere is a copy of the Neutrality Act of 1939:\nhttp://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s2/Time/1939/1939ne.html\nDon't pay it much attention, FDR didn't.

President Woodrow Wilson actually had a hard time struggling with this issue. The fact of the matter is that even though the US was technically neutral (and it did go far in making sure that it did not appear otherwise- often to Britain's disadvatage), there was probably a greater cultural as well as economic affinity for Great Britain. Keep in mind the following facts:\n-Britain had naval superiority and maintained a naval blockade that made it difficult for the US to actually be neutral; it was much more likely that US shipping made its way to Britain than to Germany.\n-Germany did not announce unrestricted submarine warfare until late 1916/early 1917.\n\nThe US was committed to staying out of the war but Germany's decision to attack any and all ships- including neutral American ships- made it almost impossible for Wilson to sell the public on the idea of neutrality. After several months of German submarine warfare in early 1917, Wilson and Congress decided war was the last viable option (and the public opinion had also shifted in favor of war).\n\nGermany's submarine warfare in 1916-1917 was the equivalent \nof Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941: it removed peace or mediation as viable alternatives, leaving only the possibility of America's entrance into the conflict.

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia, and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire). The war caused the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe and the Middle East.

This is a cheap way to get somebody to do your homework for you but I will try:\n\nPresidential leadership in the 21st century was difficult, especially in terms of national security.  The century started with World War I.  This war created a foreign policy problem that at the time seemed like an excellent solution - isolationism.  It also created political unrest in Europe that led to Fascism and Communism.\n\nThe United States did not immediately enter World War II, and an attack on U.S. soil at Pearl Harbor became the ultimate issue of national security for President Roosevelt.  The war was won, and the Fascists were never again a problem.\n\nThen the Communists in the Soviet Union began their Cold War with the United States.  Until 1992, this threat to national security would continue to be at the forefront of the country's foreign relations problems.  The Soviet Union and Communism in general would account for the U.S. entering two more wars, Korea and Vietnam.  These wars were fought under the policy set forth by the Truman Doctrine.  This was a policy of containment of Communism.\n\nIn 1962, under Kennedy, the Soviet Union seemed to be preparing for its first attack on the U.S.  In this matter of national security, Kennedy was able to combine diplomacy with compromise and an blockade to stop weapon building in Cuba.  This was the closest people say the U.S. ever got to a nuclear war.\n\nIn 1992, the Soviet Union finally collapsed, but that did not end the United States trouble with national security.  The Gulf War, and other wars where the U.S. helped Israel defend attack, had caused disgruntled Arab nations that could not win a typical war to result to the guerilla tactics of terrorism.  This war, which extremist Muslims call the Jihad, is still the national security problem today.\n\nOK, so it isn't everything you need for a paper and some of the stuff is out of order (or at least the order I would put it in) and it isn't proofread, but can I have the 10 points anyway?

Try the January 27th European edition of the Stars and Stripes online newspaper. It has a pretty good article on the realignment. You can also find information at the US Army Europe's main web page.\nBoth links are below.

Your question is kind of confusing because I don't know if you want information regarding the Central Powers (the triple alliance) or the Triple Entente.  What I can tell you is that anything you want to know about WWI you can get at this website http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWW.htm

The extent to which we satisfied our objectives was less than satisfactory.  We did put a halt to German submarine aggression in the North Atlantic, but Wilson's goals of forming a working League of Nations and having the US as a charter member were only partially realized.  The Leauge was formed, but the US Congress failed to adopt the Leaue's charter.  On the bright side, the US exited the war with relatively few casualties and its economic and physical infrastructures intact.  We had established ourselves as a super power.

Well, key isolationist move was Senate refusal to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, which would have dedicated US troops to support the League of Nations, which was proposed by President Wilson.  This kept the US out of the League, which was a failure (before being resurrected as the United Nations which is, as we know, also a failure).

U.S. entered WW2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Almost immediately after the attack, the congress almost unanimously declared war on Japan.

The winners write history.  Enough said.  Check the history books, do you ever see anything about the "relocation camps" on the west coast of the US filled with "Japanese" during WW II?  It happened. You have to really search for the information, but it is a fact.\n\nSpeaking of WW II, do you actually hear about how the US was staying "neutral", but we were providing weapons, money, and soldiers to the Allies and refused the Axis powers.  Thus provoking the attack on Pearl Harbor.

After the united states congress denied to accept the 14 point plan of the 14th point the league of nations; because American wanted to remain isolated from Europe. The countries of Europe just said hey then we will make our own treaty. So everyone but the triple alliance Austria-Hungry was split and the government was gone, Italy pulled out at the begging to join the entente; the ottoman empire fell apart, and Germany was the only country that still had a government (even if it wasn't the cause of the war) to stand for the entente.\n\nSo the entente, basically France, Britain and Russia(Russia pulled too but still took credit). But they got together and left out Germany and this is what they did. \n\n*Billed Germany for the WHOLE war even if austria-hungry\n started it.\n*Germany was not allowed to build military weapons, but hitler never got that note.\n*Most of their trade production and food was sent to the \nentente, and Germany had basically no food or steel or anything.\n*And i think that a good soical thing that Germans after the first world war were like the scum of europe, till world war II where they had a total head trip, but had a reason.
