Well, my opinion is a bit different, very much going with my political standing and extensive study of what happened.
The First World War was indeed..needless, sadly to say. The European powers had armed their countries to the teeth, but had no enemies to attack. All it needed was a little spark to start the fire, and the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand did just that. The reason America got involved was simply to protect American citizens, who were dying every week due to the German U-boats. If the Germans had obeyed the nuetrality rules, then America would not have gotten into the war, that's what Woodrow Wilson wanted. But after the major sinking of the Lusitania... Besides, if we hadn't gotten into the war, then more people would've died, and Europe would have never recovered fully.
In the end, I think it was good that America got into that scrap, because WW1 had been stuck in stalemate combat...until American forces got on the line.
Opinion part 1....
