Apologia of warmongering. Way to defend the powerful there.

The US was getting involved in the global economy after their success in the first world war, especially in Britain and Western Europe. German dominance of these regions would mean american economic interests would be cut off hence why the US offered the UK material support in the atlantic war. Germany's jingoist outlook under the nazis and their agreement with the Soviets also put the 2 nations on negative terms.
