Answer

Brief Explanations:

Before 1917, the US government was not directly involved in military operations in Europe. American citizens did not want to join the war from its start in 1914. The US government did not try to gain support for the war from the start. However, American citizens wanted to stay neutral until innocent Americans were killed (such as due to German submarine warfare like the sinking of the Lusitania).

Answer:

D. American citizens wanted to stay neutral unless innocent Americans were killed.
