President Wilson wanted to stay neutral for benefits to the country but as soon as we entered the war in 1917 and joined in with forces at our sides the sense of national security was becoming more and more threatened. As the war progressed the government became more involved with the economy than ever before. After the Zimmerman Telegraph, Americans felt threatened so they heightened national security. Then, the Germans hit closer to home when they sank the Lusitania and killed 128 Americans. Thus, the United States became more involved in the war and closer to the Allies.
In WWI, the War Industries Board was created to oversee the production of any war materials. Eventually the economy became more stable and the production of materials was more efficient. Due to this, we were able to supply the Allies with food. Even though Americans had to suffer a little by conserving food, it helped strengthen our war bonds. By having alliances in the war, Americans could feel safer, but since we were at war, we were bound to have enemies. With nations behind America and America backing up other nations, America's national security was more out of harms way. Note, this did conflict with George Washington's farewell address.

National Security Act
National security during wartime.
After World War II, the debate over national security intensified with the onset of the Cold War, leading to the establishment of the National Security Act of 1947, which created the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency. The Korean War (1950-1953) further amplified concerns over communism and containment strategies. Additionally, the Red Scare in the U.S., marked by McCarthyism, reflected heightened fears about domestic threats to national security. These events collectively shaped U.S. foreign and domestic policies for decades.

The National Security Act of 1947 significantly restructured the executive branch by establishing the National Security Council (NSC) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), thereby centralizing national security policymaking and intelligence operations. It elevated the role of the President in coordinating defense and foreign policy, facilitating a more unified approach to national security during the Cold War. Additionally, the Act merged the Department of War and the Department of the Navy into a new Department of Defense, enhancing the military's organizational framework. This comprehensive reorganization aimed to address the complexities of post-World War II geopolitical challenges.
The National Security Act of 1947, which was signed into law by President Truman, restructured the intelligence and military agencies within the U.S. government. This was done after World War 2.
Duration camps during World War 2 were used to house threats to national security and captured enemies. Duration camps are often referred to as refugee camps.
