Answer:
The assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis on April 4, 1968, continues to reverberate throughout the nation in large and small ways almost 50 years later. In many ways our nation is still trying to recover from King’s death and the opportunities for racial equality, economic justice and peace — what King referred to as a “beloved community”— that seemed to recede in its aftermath.
Fifty years after King’s assassination, struggles for racial equality appear as acute now as they did then, except the juxtapositions between signs of racial progress and the reality of continued racial injustice are even more stark. The “post-racial” symbolism in the election of Barack Obama as the nation’s first black president existed uneasily alongside the harsh reality of mass incarceration of black and brown men and women, boys and girls. Just as 1968 ushered in the last of the long hot summers that began in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963, the deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray triggered urban rebellions in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore that recalled the fits of racial unrest that gripped the nation 50 years ago.

The U.S remained neutral. In 1915, a German submarine sank a British ship and about 128 Americans lost their lives. In March 1916, a German U-boat attacked a French passenger ship which led to the death of many Americans. The U.S. wanted to cut ties with Germany but the Germans promised to warn before attacking passenger ships. The German did not keep to their agreement but continued to sink more passenger ships.
In 1917, the British deciphered a message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German minister to Mexico, Heinrich von Eckhart proposing an alliance between Mexico and Germans. The message stated that the Germans would support the Mexicans in regaining the territory that was lost in the Mexican-American War. This lead to the U.S declaration of war against Germany.
