What relationship existed between the USA and the black word before the first world war

The German–Ottoman alliance

Explanation:

The German–Ottoman alliance was ratified by the German and Ottoman Empires on August 2, 1914, shortly following the outbreak of World War I. It was created as part of a joint effort to strengthen and modernize the weak Ottoman military and to provide Germany with safe passage into the neighboring British colonies. On the eve of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire was in ruinous shape. It had lost substantial territory in disastrous wars, its economy was in shambles and its subjects were demoralized. The Empire needed time to recover and to carry out reforms, but the world was sliding into war and it would need to take a position. After the Italo-Turkish War and Balkan Wars, the Empire's resources were completely drained. Since remaining neutral and focusing on recovery became impossible due to outbreak of the First World War, the Empire had to ally with one camp or the other. It did not have adequate quantities of weaponry and machinery, and lacked the financial means to purchase new ones. The only option for the Sublime Porte was to establish an alliance with a European power; it did seem to not really matter which one. As Talat Pasha, the Minister of Interior, wrote in his memoirs: “Turkey needed to join one of the country groups so that it could organize its domestic administration, strengthen and maintain its commerce and industry, expand its railroads, in short, to survive and to preserve its existence.”
