Answer 3

Yes, I am certain that the United States initially pursued a policy of neutrality at the onset of World War I. The U.S. President at the time, Woodrow Wilson, aimed to keep the United States out of the conflict and declared neutrality in 1914 when the war began. This policy of neutrality was initially maintained by the United States until they eventually entered the war in 1917.
