The year was 1914, it was new times, new worlds and new realities
That year, the outbreak of the First World War resulted in the tension that had been developing between the nations of Europe since the 19th century. Before the war, the United States defended the "open door" policy as the best solution to the strong imperialist competition.
Despite this conciliatory premise, European countries preferred war as a solution.
In this new context, the United States began to profit at the expense of the First World War.
In a short space of time, European nations needed enormous amounts of food and weapons for the conflict.
Even though it remained neutral, as a matter of interest and affinity, the North American government exported its products only to nations that were members of the Triple Entente.
Such projections would change course in 1917. That year, the Russians abandoned the Triple Entente with the development of the Russian Revolution.
For the central powers, this would be the ideal opportunity to win the conflict. Not by chance, the Germans put into action a daring plan to attack vessels that supplied supplies and weapons to England.
In this context, North American ships were targeted by German submarines.
At that moment, North American neutrality became unsustainable for two fundamental reasons.
Firstly, because the loss of the vessels represented a clear provocation that required a more incisive response from the American government.
Furthermore, the departure of the Russians increased the risk of the Triple Entente being defeated and, consequently, of American bankers not receiving the enormous amounts of money lent to the countries at war.
