Prior to America’s entry to World War I, President Woodrow Wilson described the United States’ position as:
  1. Neutral indifference
  2. Armed neutrality
  3. Democratic abstinence
  4. Conscientious objection
  5. Cautious awareness
Explanation
Answer: B - From the beginning of World War I in 1914 until the United States’ declaration of war on Germany in 1917, America maintained the formal position of “armed neutrality,” as it was articulated by President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson believed that as a free, democratic nation, America was morally superior and should abstain from the war. He also believed that the government should prepare itself to act as the mediator between the embattled parties after the war came to an end.
