Abstract

The article explores the hypothetical scenario of the United States staying out of World War I, discussing potential outcomes such as a modified Treaty of Versailles and no League of Nations. Historians differ on whether the Central Powers or Allies would have emerged victorious without US intervention, with varying perspectives on the impact of American involvement on the war's outcome and subsequent peace negotiations. The text also examines the potential effects on US history, including the civil rights movement, women's suffrage, and the spread of the influenza pandemic. [Extracted from the article]
