What did European leaders think about the us entering WW1?

European leaders had mixed reactions to the United States' entry into World War I. Some leaders welcomed the American contribution, believing that it would help to tip the balance of power in favor of the Allies. Others were more skeptical, fearing that the United States would not be able to make a significant contribution to the war effort.

Here are some of the reactions from European leaders:

* British Prime Minister David Lloyd George: "The arrival of the American troops on the western front was the turning point in the war."

* French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau: "The United States is a colossus on the move. It is a sleeping giant that has been awakened."

* German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg: "The entry of the United States into the war is a serious blow to our hopes for victory."

* Austrian-Hungarian Foreign Minister Count Ottokar Czernin: "The United States is a formidable enemy. We must make peace with them as soon as possible."

Overall, the United States' entry into World War I had a significant impact on the course of the war. It helped to turn the tide in favor of the Allies and ultimately led to Germany's defeat.
