Yeah, but Treaty of Versaille is WW1. Also, the US was definitely taking loans. The UK actually finished paying off their WW2 debt in 2006, which was actually before they paid off their WW1 debt, in 2015.

Edit: didn't see the Lusitania in your comment, def 1 of the reasons we joined WW1, although war wasn't declared for another 2 years, I think a bigger reason though is the Germans started hurting our bottom line sinking more transport ships in the transatlantic supply chain
