apr 6, 1917 - America Enters the war

Description:

The US entry into WW1 on April 6, 1917 began two and half years after the start of the war on July 28, 1914. President Wilson had adopted a position of neutrality hoping to keep the US out of the European conflict and strong isolationist sentiment delayed U.S. involvement for some time. The causes of the US entry into WW1 included the Sinking of the passenger ship the Lusitania which was sunk by a German U-Boat. G
