The first break with traditional isolationism and the first large-scale involvement of the United States in an international conflict on foreign soil took place during World War I. Prior to this, the US had maintained a policy of neutrality and avoided direct involvement in European conflicts. However, following the sinking of the Lusitania and other events, the US declared war on Germany in 1917 and sent troops to fight in Europe. This marked a significant departure from previous US foreign policy and set the stage for greater involvement in international affairs in the decades to come.
