During WWI, the US was divided on foreign policy into two main camps: interventionists and isolationists. Interventionists, led by President Woodrow Wilson, believed that the US should actively engage in the war to promote democracy and protect American interests. They advocated for the US to enter the war on the side of the Allies. On the other hand, isolationists, represented by groups such as the America First Committee, opposed US involvement in the war, arguing for neutrality and focusing on domestic issues. This divide persisted until the US ultimately entered the war in 1917.
