History Alive's View on United States' Decision to Enter the Great War

History Alive! provides the basic reasons behind United States' decision to enter the Great War. United States was propelled to join the Allied Powers because of Germany's continuous attacks on neutral merchant ships with Americans on board (Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare), Britain's successful use of propaganda, such as the Bryce commission's report, and the Zimmerman note. The majority of Americans supported President Wilson's decision to take action against the Central Powers, specifically Germany, but some said that the United States was "going to war for economic reasons only."

Although the text does not clearly state whether or not it supports the United States' decision, it seems as if History Alive! suggests that the decision is understandable and perhaps, good.
