Best answers: Prioritize national economic stability and Protect industrial manufacturing.
Why: U.S. policy of formal neutrality in 1914–17 was driven largely by economic concerns — protecting domestic markets, banks, and factories and keeping trade flowing. American industry ramped up exports (including munitions) to the belligerents and bankers extended large credits to the Allies, tying U.S. financial interests to their success. By contrast, the U.S. did not broadly restrict arms exports early on, nor did it chiefly move to “limit international trade agreements” as a primary policy aim.
