Which factor shift american opinion away from neutrality during world war i? a. strong trade relationships with russia b. strong cultural ties to great britain c. strong cultural ties to germany d. strong trade relationships with austria

The correct option is B

The US road to war had begun a little more than two months before, when the German imperial government decided to resume its war policy of unrestricted submarine attacks on the coastal waters around the British Isles. In other words, they would attack each and every one of the shipping vessels that passed through, including US vessels.

The correct answer is B. Strong cultural ties to Great Britain.

Explanation:

Despite the neutrality proclaimed by president Wilson, american bankers provided loans to the warring nations, mainly to the Allies. The situation in Great Britain won the sympathy of the americans because it had been a "motherland". The sinking of the Lusitania and the Sussex by German submarines killed dozens of people and several Americans among them. These submarine warfare prompted the american people to disagree with the non-intervention policy. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the firmest advocators for joining the war.
