Spy With My Little Eye

On April 2, 1917 the United States entered WWI declaring war against Germany and its allies. The deciding factor for the U.S. to enter the war is due to one document, the Zimmerman Telegram. The document was sole proof to many Americans that Germany’s intentions were not only causing harm on European soil but bringing it across the seas to American soil. It stated that Germany had no intentions on slowing down its submarine warfare to which they hoped to keep the Americans neutral, but if they failed in doing so they offered an alliance among themselves and Mexico. The understanding was that Mexico would declare war on the United States and help the Germans and in return they would receive their land they had lost to America in years past,

     On April 2nd 1917, President Woodrow Wilson of the United States of America, ??went before Congress and called for a declaration of war. Both the House and the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of going to war with Germany.?# This was an act that led to much resistance among the American people. Not four months earlier the American people re-elected President Wilson, partly because of his success in keeping the United States out of this European war. However, a series of events, such as the Germans continuing submarine warfare and the attacks on five American ships, led President Wilson to sever diplomatic relations with Germany and send the United States into what

World War II was fought between two main opposing forces, the Allies and the Axis forces. The Axis powers consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan being the most dominant. On the other hand, some of the countries in the Allied powers were Great Britain, the United States, France, Australia, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, Canada, and Greece.

Beginning from the birth of the United States, a policy of neutrality and a will to stay out of foreign affairs is evident. So when archduke Ferdinand was assassinated the United States wanted to try its best to reap the benefits of the situation while avoiding joining in the conflict that would come to be known as World War 1. However, in 1917 the United States declared war on Germany despite this longstanding tradition and joined the conflict. One of the leading causes of this decision was the aggression of the German naval policy. When Great Britain set up a naval blockade to cease trade with Germany, Germany declared their U-boats would attack ships traversing those waters. This aggressive policy led to a hindrance on American trade as well as an endangerment of American citizens causing them to side against Germany. An additional factor that influenced the United States to side against the Germans In World War 1 was Allied propaganda. Since the United States was cut off from the Germans and the others of the triple alliance this was the only propaganda that they had encountered. President Woodrow Wilson’s ideology also played a factor in joining the war. Woodrow Wilson claimed that entering the war

To start of the Great War from the U.S. positive perspective, in this statement it says the U.S. joined the battle “When a Germany U-boat sank the British liner on May 7, 1915, killing 1,198, including 128 Americans, President Wilson sent a strong note to berlin. The May 13 warning, Document 1, demands that Germany disavow submarine warfare and respect the rights of Americans to sail on high seas. In January 1917, Germany declared unrestricted submarine warfare, and Wilson broke diplomatic relations with Berlin…” (Merrill, Dennis, and Thomas G. Paterson pg. 29). So basically Germany didn’t want to listen or negotiate with Wilson’s offering to arbitrate the dispute. Wilson told congress by stating “The world must be made safe for democracy (Merrill, Dennis, and Thomas G. Paterson pg. 49).” President Wilson had no options but to join the war when Mexico

Introduction The Second World War had been fought between the Axis nations (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan and their smaller allies) and the Allied nations, led by Britain (and its Commonwealth nations), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States of America (Source D). The war changed many things internationally. This included changes to do with technology and the end of European colonialism (Source D).

A government should not waste its time and resources keeping tabs and spying on its own civilians who are innocent haven’t done anything to make them a person of interest. Only people who have had previous offenses or are suspected of being terrorist and or criminals should be tracked. The government in 1984 spies on its citizens day and night. For example “They could spy upon you night and day”(Orwell, 182). Watching people in their daily lives is an extreme invasion of privacy. Imagine if your parents watched you twentyfour seven in your room when you were growing up. You probably wish they’d have some human decency and give you some privacy. When you are constantly being monitored nothing in your life is or can be private and there is no escape from being stocked. For example “Always

Though the United States promised to remain neutral in WWI, the US entered anyway in 1917 due to intense propaganda, and strict accountability. Moreover, America’s strong relationship with Britain made the joining of the war almost inevitable. In posters the Germans were depicted as mad brutes, eager to destroy America and democracy. Strict accountability made it so the Germans were responsible for every ship they sunk, if it contained an American. American gave billions of dollars to Britain to help their war effort, whereas the Germans got nowhere near that amount.

This sent President Wilson to have a vote by congress to declare war on Kaiser and the Central Powers. Wilson would make sure this was the war to end of all wars. America would be fighting to make the world safe for democracy. Troops would not start arriving in large numbers until 1918, but their presence was felt right away as the war was to have a for sure outcome strongly leaning towards the Allies. Wilson believed this contribution would finally lead to world peace once the war was finished. The United States prepped their army tremendously as expanding to having millions of soldiers. The United States were by far the most powerful nation in the world entering the war and showed as they dominated the Central Powers. Germany’s extremely skilled air force was greatly outnumbered by the US as they were no match and were defeated. The war finally ended when Germany surrendered later that year on November 11, 1918. Following the war this left the United States in a great spot as many of the European countries were in huge war debt and lost millions of people. The United States were by far the most wealthy and powerful country in the world. Although our nation had to

The article, “America Declares War on Germany, 1917”, consists of much detail and outlines a complex situation of which a decision is to be made. The preface starts off with a background of the historical facts of the World War pertaining to the United States’ decision to enter the war. In January of 1917, Germany renewed its policy of unrestricted warfare and all ships trading with Britain, from neutral countries or not, would be targeted from German submarines to be sunk. In February of 1917, another dramatic event occurred that would also influence president Wilson’s decisions. A telegram from Germany to Mexico was intercepted, in which Germany proposed to help Mexico with funding, if they were to war against the United States for the reclamation of its lost territories of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. This

By mid 1914 nearly the entire continent of Europe would be engaged in brutal war; meanwhile, the United States of America aimed to remain neutral in honor of The Monroe Doctrine. However, attempting to maintain an uninvolved and unbiased position would bring America closer to war. In the mid to late 1910s four substantial events would push the United states to war, and in reaction, by April 1917 the country formally declared war and entered WWI. Politically, the U.S. differed significantly with Germany and its allies in diplomatic affairs such as the Sussex Pledge and House-Grey Memorandum; in these events the strong disagreements between European Germany and Isolated America would strain the tension in the diplomatic ties between the two

The united states made the decision to enter WWI in 1917 with England, France, and Russia. The United States entered the war because President Woodrow Wilson requested a declaration of war against Germany. The reason of this being is becauseGermany would not suspend unrestricted submarine warfare in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic. Germany also tried to persuade Mexico into joining sides with them.Germany's attempt to sink passenger and merchant ships was the real reason President Wilson wanted the U.S. to go to war. Wilson threatened to cause harm to Germany if they didn't stop sinking ships. And on May 4, 1916, Germany agreed to stop sinking ships. On these terms and conditions it was known as the "Sussex Pledge". Germany ended up violating

“On April 2, 1917, President Wilson stood before a special session of senators and representatives and solemnly asked congress to recognize that a state of war existed between Germany and the United States. His speech condemned Germany’s submarine policy as “warfare against mankind” and declared: the “The world must be made safe for democracy.” And an overwhelming majority of congress voted for a declaration of war” (U.S. Entry into WW1).

During WW1 we has 3 allies Britain, France, and Russia and there was 3 central powers Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep out of this was and the country was split on what to do about neutralist. President Wilson proposed a “Fourteen Points” peace plan for WW1. The US was officially considered a world power. WW1 originated in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. The propaganda during WWI focused on Germany’s harsh treatment of Belgium, France and Britain. The German army was growing weak from influenza and was deprived of supplies and on September 1918 - one million American soldiers slowly pushed the Germans out of northeastern France.By the time November came around Germany

World War II was a fight between the Ally and Axis powers. On the Allys side was Great Britain, America, and France. On the Axis side was Germany, Italy, and Japan. In 1940, Hitler and his nazi army invaded Poland against the warnings of Great Britain, thus forcing Britain to declare war and start World War II . America stayed neutral until 1941, when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. With the outbreak of
