There is evidence to support that the US was both internationalist in their action as well as wanting isolation. The demand of the country was to return to isolationism and 'return to normalcy'. However in a global market, economically the US could not isolate as our money was tied to the money of other nations. Therefore politically, the US could not completely step away either.

The U.S. wanted to cut ties with Germany but the Germans promised to warn before attacking passenger ships. The German did not keep to their agreement but continued to sink more passenger ships.
In 1917, the British deciphered a message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German minister to Mexico, Heinrich von Eckhart proposing an alliance between Mexico and Germans. The message stated that the Germans would support the Mexicans in regaining the territory that was lost in the Mexican-American War. This lead to the U.S declaration of war against Germany.
The Nile River is described as the lifeblood of Egypt because everybody needed the river. They grew crops, took baths, and cleaned clothes in the river. So many people relied on the river back then, and still do to this day. The number one reason the river was needed was for crops.
