A great many Americans were opposed to what went under the asms of Prussian Militarism, and ail that Prussian Militarism stood for. Ultuaately the United States went into the war, using as s slogan the cry that we 'would “make the world safe for democracy " Those who were to Prussian Militarism therefor* supposed that we were fighting the good fight, and that we had fought it successfully, nan Militarism would be at an and Democracy would be la in most of the world.
