Until April 6th, 1917, America was still a declared neutral state and she had tried to keep out of World War 1. However, she had economic relationships with nations involved in the war such as loans and financial support. American Secretary of State William Jennings opposed this financial support of warring nations, arguing that refusing to loan to any Allied nations in Europe would help to accelerate the end of the war. Even though President Wilson agreed at first, he retreated this when France argued that if it was not legal to take out credits from America, then it was not legal to buy American goods as well.
