Nationalism• Defined as...
– Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation.
– The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.
• Political or social philosophy in which the welfare of the nation-state is considered paramount.
• A collective state of mind or consciousness in which people believe their primary duty and loyalty is to the nation-state.
• Often nationalism implies national superiority and glorifies various national virtues. Thus love of nation may be overemphasized; concern with national self-interest to the exclusion of the rights of other nations may lead to international conflict.

Question 3
• What do you notice about the location of the Axis Powers in reference to the Allied Powers?
• (1 or 2 sentences)
![Page 20: Wwi Ppt07](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/55499f64b4c905a6758b4c33/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neutral, But Not Impartial
• Wilson called for the US to be “Neutral in facts as well as in name, impartial in thought as well as in action”.
• Americans were unable to “be” neutral and in fact did select a side to support. Most Americans favored the Allies over the Central Powers.
• Propaganda was used by both sides to influence public opinion.
• Allied propaganda was more effective because it convinced Americans that the Allies were fighting to defend more than politics, but civilization itself.
![Page 21: Wwi Ppt07](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062512/55499f64b4c905a6758b4c33/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Supplying the Allies
Trading Countries
1914 1917
Allies 500 million 3.5 billion
Germany 169 million 1.1 billion
Neutral 187 million 280 million
Total 856 million 4.88 billion
Neutrality stopped when $$$ came into the picture!! Although the US supplied materials to both sides, it supplied MUCH more to the Allies.
Overall the increase in trade greatly helped “neutral” America.
This is a $4 BILLION
increase
