Abstract

        During the First World War (1914-1918), the United States of America tended to follow the policy of avoiding wars because it was proceeding what was stipulated in the Monroe Doctrine, which includes non-interference in wars while preserving its interests in all countries of the world, but when its security and its country are endangered, then , it will certainly intend to use another method that obliges it to take a different position  from Monroe stipulation, and after the outbreak of the war it adhered to its neutrality in it, but after the submarine war that forced the United States to enter the war in 1917 AD, and what is meant by our study here is that how did US President Thomas Woodrow Wilson benefit from the war in  The economic aspect, and how to conclude trade agreements with the warring countries and earn profits for the benefit of the United States of America, and this did not come out of nowhere, but rather through ideas and proposals that were put forward by members of the US Congress, most of which was in the economic aspect ran by the member of the US Congress Cordell Hull, who worked hard to convey his ideas that he adopted years before the outbreak of World War I, and applied them on the ground during that period of war to mock trade agreements, income tax law, inheritance tax, and navigation in the Cumberland River for the benefit of his country, which brought profits to the state treasury, as well as  The war that broke out between the center bloc, which was represented by (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire) and the allies (Britain, France, Russia, and the United States of America), from which the United States of America came out as the biggest winner in the war, from the military point of view, it did not provide losses  The large size if compared to other parties, in addition to selling a lot of military and commercial materials, which enabled it to take an important role after the end of the war, as well as studying it by not entering the war early, making it the country that gave the least losses in lives, and equipments
