Neutrality, then a departure
- After initial neutrality in World War I, the nation entered the conflict, departing from the U.S. foreign policy tradition of noninvolvement in European affairs, in response to Woodrow Wilson's call for the defence of humanitarian and democratic principles.
- Departing from the... tradition of noninvolvement — the CED marks entry as a break with 3.10's Farewell Address.
- And the stated reason is principled: the defence of humanitarian and democratic principles, which is the register 7.2's debate used.

3.10's Farewell Address is the tradition meant.
A limited role with a decisive effect
- Although the American Expeditionary Forces played a relatively limited role in combat, the United States' entry helped to tip the balance of the conflict in favour of the Allies.
- Relatively limited role in combat and helped to tip the balance are both true, and the CED puts them in one sentence.
- So the contribution was as much about resources, credit and the prospect of more troops as about battles fought.

The same register 7.2's debate used.
And the Senate refused
- Despite Wilson's deep involvement in postwar negotiations, the U.S. Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles or join the League of Nations.
- So the departure from tradition was temporary at the level of commitment, even though the intervention had happened.
- 3.8 established that ratification is contested; here the same constitutional feature reverses a president's foreign policy.
Follow the United States into the war and out of it
The war's domestic effects are what a period-7 prompt usually asks about, not the fighting.

Both true, in one sentence.
The country acted and then declined to institutionalise the action. Entry departed from the U.S. foreign policy tradition of noninvolvement, and then the U.S. Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles or join the League of Nations — that sequence is 7.1's renewed debate in miniature.

The intervention happened; the commitment did not.
Why this counts as 'renewing' the debate
- 7.1's thread says global conflicts propelled the United States to power while renewing domestic debates over the nation's proper role.
- Entry, then refusal to ratify, is that renewal in a single sequence: the country acted and then declined to institutionalise the action.
- 7.11 will show the same pattern in the interwar years — involvement without commitment.

7.11 shows the same pattern between the wars.
Causes and consequences
- The objective is the causes and consequences of U.S. involvement in World War I.
- Causes: Wilson's principled call, after a period of neutrality, and a break with the noninvolvement tradition.
- Consequences: a tipped balance despite limited combat, and a Senate refusal that limited what the intervention became.
A country can send an army abroad and then refuse to sign the arrangement its own president negotiated. The action is not undone; what is refused is the promise to do it again under rules.
