During World War I, the United States was geographically distant from the main battlefields in Europe. Its homeland was not directly attacked or devastated by combat. Belgium, on the other hand, was located in the heart of the European war zone. German forces invaded Belgium, and significant battles took place on its territory, causing widespread destruction.

Answer:

D. The United States avoided damage to its homeland, but Belgium was devastated from battles in its territory.
