An interesting thing I learned from Eleanor Roosevelt's biography is that Hitler used the USA's treatment of black people as justification for his treatment of Jews, and this was widely regarded *in the USA* as a reasonable point and a reason to stay out of the war: "we would have to stop mistreatment of black people".

That is interesting So would this also be a reason the USA got involved in the first world war late too, They would have to recruit black soldiers.

Could be an interesting discussion, thank you.
