As trade with England increased, trade with Germany decreased. We became economically tied to the war, and were brought closer to the Allies. The Preparedness Program in 1915 started the US aiming and preparing for war. American Businesses pushed the US into war to make money. Germany declared unlimited submarine warfare, which ties in with propoganda. The Sussex Pledge said that Germany would announce that they were going to sink ships and let passengers escape in time. They weren't ready for US to go to war. Propoganda was used to get people to favor the war and support it. Ferdinand Foch was the supreme allied commander of all allied forces. The homefront referes to what people did back in the US to help win the war. Every country has their own homefront. The food administration helped people to conserve food so our troops would have plenty to eat.
