C. It caused the US to choose sides out of a sense of fairness.
D. It caused the US to remain on good terms with all sides.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is A) It caused the US to remain isolated and neutral.

This speech from President Woodrow Wilson’s Declaration of Neutrality in 1914 affected the U.S. involvement in World War I because it caused the US to remain isolated and neutral.

President Woodrow Wilson formally proclaimed the neutrality of the U.S. in his Declaration of Neutrality of August 4, 1914. The reaction of the people to that declaration was favorable and agreed with President Wilson. Unfortunately for the U.S., the idea of impartiality diluted when Germany attempted the isolation of Britain. The relations between the U.S. and Germany became tense because many trade ships in the zone were damaged by German mines.
