For Arthur and Australasia, preventing the United States from participating in this World War was tantamount to comprehensively limiting the development of the United States.

During World War I, the United States did not achieve much land expansion, and the size of U.S. territory is nowhere compared to the scale of British and French colonies.

Nonetheless, it's undeniable that the United States laid the foundation to become a world superpower during World War I, which is far more important than those colonies.

Even if the British and French colonies were vast, the U.S and the Soviet Union at that time undermined the colonial systems of these two nations, held in place for hundreds of years, with the exporting of their democratic thoughts.

Without participating in the war, the United States would not invest heavily in the military and would not achieve a top world power status, let alone attaining a role equivalent to Britain and France.
