True they needed to take their power back
I would say alliances and nationalism because nationalism only encouraged countries to go to war and prove that they were the best most powerful country around and in terms of WWI, nationalism led to strong dedication to the army and just keep most countries in the war longer than they should have been in it. Alliances were significant in the exact beginning of the war and the scale to which the war was fought. The many (secret) alliances led to austria-hungary and Serbia to sorta threaten each other, which brought Germany in, then France, etc.
Switch to manufacturing military goods and to work hard and fast so they military would always be prepared. Roosevelt also wanted Americans to support the cause of the democracy.
I am more hopeful in the future because i feel that are new president is going to turn things around and make things a lot better for everyone :)
