No single event or factor destroyed this neutrality and led to America entering the war on the side of Britain and her allies. American opinion had increasingly turned against the Germans as they stepped up submarine attacks on shipping, including passenger vessels crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The sinking of the British ship, the Lusitania, in May 1915, aroused great anger as 128 Americans were among the 1198 passengers who perished. Further attacks followed until the German government announced in June 1915 that passenger ships would not be sunk without warning.

Why did the united states want to invade the island of okinawa?

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The United States needed a close enough military base, to plan and execute a full invasion of the Japanese mainland.

Explanation:

Okinawa stood in a strategic position in the Pacific Ocean. Its proximity to Japan provided a good spot of the United States and the Allies to set up a military base to plan a full out invasion of Japan.

From Okinawa, the U.S had a close enough range to deploy their warplanes and also transport their full artillery and since Okinawa was not landlocked, the United States could easily bring in supplies and reinforcements through the Pacific for the battle against Japan.
