Answer:
The national interest of the United States was to remain neutral in the war in April 1917
Explanation:
In August 1914, the world was watching
beginning of the conflict of what was conventionally called the First World War. Involving the great powers
European governments, different governments around the world felt the need to
fix and externalize its position in relation to
war. There were three options: join and
fight alongside the allies, do that
alongside the central empires or remain neutral in the face of conflict. Logo no
beginning of the war, like all countries in the
American continent, Chile, through
Ramón Barros Luco's government, declared that the country adopted the principle of
neutrality. This position was supported by public opinion, since the links
political, economic and cultural
country owned with the belligerent countries
would not justify a break. The entrance
in the conflict in 1917, and the rupture
with Germany on the part of several American countries promoted a change
on the Chilean national scene and emerged
voices in the country that proposed abandoning neutrality. Started in the country
a broad debate on the Chilean position
in the face of the conflict that was becoming worldwide.
