Q

Where were the reasons for America’s entry into WWI?

A

To cut off supplies going to Britain, the Germans announced in 1914 that their u-boats would sink without warning any ship found in the waters around Britain. This announcement outraged the US because it violated an international treaty requiring military vessels to reveal their intentions to merchant ships and provide for the safety of the people aboard before sinking the ships. In implementing their policy, the Germans sank the British passenger liner Lusitania in the war zone, killing 1,200, including 128 Americans. In 1916 a U-boat torpedoed the French passenger ship Sussex, injuring several Americans on board. In 1917 British intelligence intercepted a telegram from Arthur Zimmermann, a German official. It proposed to offer the Mexican government its “lost territory in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona” if Mexico sided with Germany in the event that the US entered the war. Furious, many Americans now concluded war with Germany was necessary.
