Answer:

<h2>The United States entered the conflict, siding with the Allied Powers against Germany.</h2>

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, which had happened in May, 1915. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.

Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But two years, the Germans resumed such attacks. This inflamed public opinion against Germany once again and poised America to go to war.

In addition, British intellegence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States. The telegram was sent in January, 1917. In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.

In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the German's submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.

Answer:

During the Industrial Revolution, the US underwent a technological advancement and a remake of how the economy worked. One of these technological advancement was the assembly line, which helped speed up production, as well as create "specialized" jobs (jobs in which a worker specializes in a part of the creation, such as creation of the engine and only the engine for a car, for example, in case you are wondering - remove the parenthesis and content inside). These changes in how factories worked helped with the mass exodus of the population from the rural areas to cities for higher pays, which helped with the population boom, and the soon to be restructuring of how cities worked and the services they provided. Without the Industrial Revolution, the US would not be the economically (& later miliatry) giant that she is right now.
