What was a result of the U.S. Trade with Germany in 1914?

In 1914, U.S. trade with Germany was significant, particularly in machinery and chemicals, but it was disrupted by the outbreak of World War I. As the war intensified, trade shifted dramatically as the U.S. began to favor the Allies, leading to a decline in economic exchanges with Germany. This shift contributed to increased tensions between the U.S. and Germany, ultimately influencing American public opinion and paving the way for U.S. involvement in the war in 1917.
