To take KG_Soldier's point in another direction (monetary), had the U.S. not entered WW I, perhaps the Great Depression would've happened earlier than it did without the support of Liberty Bonds, which raised billions of dollars for the war effort & stimulated industry. Or perhaps without relying on these bonds & their subsequent economic effect, maybe our country would've taken a different path which would've averted the Depression alltogether?

Would Wilson have gone to Paris in 1919 to create the League of Nations which was later replaced by the U.N., had the U.S. not been actively involved militarily?
