History

In 1917, Germany, determined to win its war of attrition against the Allies, announced the resumption of unrestricted warfare in war-zone waters. Three days later, the United States broke diplomatic relations with Germany, and just hours after that the American liner Housatonic was sunk by a German U-boat.

There were 3 main reasons:  

Firstly, President Wilson was an idealist - he believed if Germany (an autocratic monarchy with an Absolute Ruler) won WW1, this would be "a bad thing" not just for USA, but for the whole world. The best way to stop this happening was to join the war on the side of the Allies.  

Secondly, Germany had introduced unrestricted submarine warfare from the end of January 1917. As a result, many US merchant ships were being sunk, and many US merchant seamen being killed, even though USA was neutral. Further, neutral ships sailing to and from USA were also being sunk by German submarines.All this was having an adverse effect on the US economy, and the best way to stop it was to join the war on the side of the Allies.  

Finally, in January 1917 the Germans sent the Zimmerman Telegram to the government of Mexico. This offered "substantial aid" in regaining territory lost to USA during the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 if Mexico attacked USA. Germany had thus become a direct threat to US territory, and a declaration of war was the only possible response.

Maybe this helps U ;D.

Answer:

The process of Urbanization, which was already underway in most countries before the First World War, gathered pace during the 1920s. This was, in part, linked to economics. Many features of the "Modern Metropolis" were visible before the First World War. Electricity, urban transport networks including underground railways, large department stores and mass entertainment venues, like music halls, were visible in cities such as London, Paris and Berlin. However, after the war, electricity supply was expanded, and rationalized. Music halls were joined and subsequently replace by cinemas, dance halls and jazz clubs, existing urban transport networks were extended and new ones built to service growing numbers of commuters living in emerging suburbs. New forms of transport, such as cars, raised the feel of city life, and increased white-collar employment numbers. This also swelled the ranks of the middle class and fuelled new levels and forms of consumerism.

What was the king’s Privy Council? What role did it play in the House of Burgesses
Eddi Din [679]
 <span>The Privy Council is the British Crown's private council. It is composed of more than three hundred members, including cabinet members, distinguished scholars, judges, and legislators. Once a powerful body, it has lost most of the judicial and political functions it exercised since the middle of the seventeenth century and has largely been replaced by the Cabinet. 

The Privy Council derived from the King's Council, which was created during the Middle Ages. In 1540 the Privy Council came into being as a small executive committee that advised the king and administered the government. It advised the sovereign on affairs of state and the exercise of the royal prerogative. It implemented its power through royal proclamations, orders, instructions, and informal letters, and also by giving directions to and receiving reports from the judges who traveled the circuits, hearing cases in cities and towns, twice a year. It concerned itself with public order and security, the economy, public works, public authorities and corporations, local government, Ireland, the Channel Islands, the colonies, and foreign affairs. 

The inner circle of advisers in the Privy Council met in the royal chamber or cabinet and was therefore called the cabinet council. In the eighteenth century, the cabinet became the council for the prime minister, the leader of Parliament. The United States adopted the cabinet idea, though its legal status is not identified in the Constitution. Cabinet members are presidential advisers who serve as executive branch department heads. 

The power of the Privy Council disappeared between 1645 and 1660 during the English Civil War and the government of Oliver Cromwell. It never recovered its former position. Long policy debates shifted to Parliament, and important executive decisions went to committees. In modern days members of the Privy Council rarely meet as a group, delegating their work to committees.</span>
