The United States was not essentially neutral during World War I. The United States supplied weapons and food to both sides of the conflict. The reason why the United States decided to stay out of the direct hostilities was the politicians. The general public wanted to go to war, but the government wanted to remain isolationists and stay out of direct combat.
