In Britain, there was criticism of the USA\u2019s failure to become involved in the war \u201cto save civilisation\u201d, and considerable contempt directed towards President Woodrow Wilson\u2019s apparent pacifism. Poor quality dud shells were christened \u201cYanks \u2013 too proud to fight\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s monthly, \u2018The Great War\u2019 told its readers that, \u201cowing mainly to ignorance of the domestic complications which it had to consider, President Wilson\u2019s foreign policy has not been appreciated properly by the British people as a whole, and the confession must be made that they have been less than just\u2026.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” oblique_section=”no” text_align=”left” triangle_shape=”no” padding_top=”10″ padding_bottom=”10″ css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”50464″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” edgt_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”8″ down=”8″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”6″ down=”6″][vc_column_text]The US dreadnoughts were formed into the 6th<\/sup> Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet under Admiral Rodman.
