= America Declares War ﻿ = === ﻿When the war first broke out, President Wilson wanted to stay neutral. He said "We must be impartial in thought as well as in action." Although there was a small part of the population who favored the Central Powers, the majority of Americans were on the side of the Allies. The big debate wasn't about which side to join, but if we should join at all. England used propaganda as well as other techniques to sway American opinion. Since the begginning, American buisinesses and banks supported the Allied countries. ===
