Before America entered the war, they funded both sides of the effort, financially and with supplies. They gave and loaned more to the Allied Forces over the Central Powers. Many Americans loaned some of their own money to the Allies. For example, a wealthy man named J.P. Morgan loaned three million dollars to Britain and France. As the war went on, there was a worry that the Allies would lose, and if they did, the loans would not be repaid. This frightened many Americans. People became so worried that it started the Preparedness Movement. This movement's goal was to push America to enter the war and to prepare for its arrival. They used Belgium as an example of what would happen if they were not ready when the war came to them. Some people wished to start training young men and start a draft, but President Wilson did not want this for the country. His mindset would soon change as the war went on.
