What were critics of World war 1 anti American?

Critics of World War I were not necessarily anti-American but often opposed the U.S. involvement in the conflict based on various ideological grounds. Many believed that the war was driven by imperialist motivations and capitalist interests rather than genuine democratic ideals. Others argued that participation would lead to unnecessary loss of American lives and entangle the nation in European conflicts. Prominent figures, including pacifists and socialists, voiced their dissent, advocating for neutrality and peace instead.
