Thank you for the fiction. Now here is the real reason The US entered WWI :- The US had huge economic investments with the British and French. If they were to lose, then they would not be able to pay the U.S. debt back (amounting to about two billion dollars while Germany only borrowed a mere 27 million). If the Allies could not pay back all the loans made to them by the American bankers, the US economy could collapse. France and England were financing their war with US loans. In addition, they were buying massive amounts of arms from the US on credit. The US wanted to make sure that it got paid back. Germany also purchased arms, but in a much more limited fashion.
You do realize that Germany declared war on the US on December 11th, 1941. The US never declared war on Germany. So your whole basis is faulty

America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc are all the "off spring" of Great Britain. Off spring do often fall out with each other but soon make up again.

What do you call a pointless race that covers 2,200 miles throughout France? The French.
Want to speed up your computer? Try this simple tip, just install the French version of your favorite programs, they run at least twice as fast.
Why does the French flag have Velcro? So the blue and red sections can easily be removed during a time of war.edit on 10-8-2012 by KaiserSoze because: You can say what you like about the French,,,,,,,,,,

US America is not our offspring. The 13 colonies were, but not the USA.
