History

They joined because they listened to President Brigham Young, a living prophet. Captain Allen never would have been able to persuade them to enlist. But President Young knew that their service would provide funds to help the Saints reach the Salt Lake Valley, allowing them to gather as a covenant people. With trust in the Lord and a prophet, volunteers prepared to march with the U.S. Army.

Answer:

The Mormon battalion was formed to serve the American Army in the Mexican-American War in exchange for aid to the destitute of Nauvoo.

Explanation:

While the Saints were in Iowa, Captain James Allen of the United States Army sought Brigham Young, who was the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Captain Allen reported that the president of the United States wanted 500 men from the Church to join the army to help in the war against Mexico.

During the Mexican-American War, the United States Army captain contacted the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, urging men to fight in the war. Although church members were going through a difficult time, their leader persuaded them to form an army to help the American army because this would show that the church supported the union and the salary they would receive would be used to help the needy. In this way, the Mormon battalion was born.

Degger [83]

Answer: With the entry of the United States into the war.

Explanation:

Before the United States entered World War I, the German-led Axis powers were in the lead. Russia was on its knees due to industrial underdevelopment had major problems in the military. Germany was more technologically advanced than France and Britain, which had a lot of problems. The United States' entry into the war changed the balance of power in favor of the Entente. The United States enters the war after Germany violated the agreement on neutrality with the United States, sinking some American ships. The United States was afraid that Britain and France would not repay America's debt because they were buying huge quantities of weapons.
