Answer: The sinking of the <em>Lusitania</em>, their loans to the Allies, and the Zimmerman telegram.

Explanation: The three main factors that pushed the U.S. to enter WW1 were the sinking of the <em>Lusitania</em>, their loans to the Allies, and the Zimmerman telegram. The sinking of the <em>Lusitania </em> occured when a German U-boat sunk the British passenger ship the <em>Lusitania</em>, killing 128 Americans and angering the United States. The U.S. economy was booming due to the war, and banks had given many large loans to the Allied Powers, which effectively invesed the U.S. in the Allies' success. The last straw was the Zimmerman telegram from the Germans to the Mexican government promising them the land they had lost in the Mexican-American war if they attacked the U.S. All of this pushed the United States to enter WW1.

Answer:

There are 3 main factors that led to the US joining World War 1.

1. The Zimmerman Note

2. The sinking of the Lusitania

3. Unrestricted submarine warfare

The Zimmerman Note angered Americans because it was Germany, going behind the US's back asking for Mexico's help- saying that if they started a war with the US, then Germany would help it repossess some territory. If America was focused on a war against Mexico, it most likely wouldn't have joined WW1, or would've been as powerful.

The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that had Americans on it. Germans sunk it, and the people on board died. Germany claimed that it had contained munitions, but Britain denied it- only much later did people prove that there were actually weapons/supplies. Either way, whenever Americans die, Americans get mad.

Unrestricted submarine warfare is mainly just an immoral practice- sinking any ship in sight, without stopping it and confirming civilians.

I hope this helped!

Answer:

Athenian Society

Explanation:

Athenian Society is characterized by their mode of governance being Democracy, which vested the matters concerning the state on the general citizens and the upper class together. It is often referred to as Assembly of the People. This Pericles's Funeral Oration was delivered in a public funeral in honor of all those who had laid their lives in the war. It is culturally delivered by a well-known-Athenian citizen.

Hence, in this case, the early society that is described in this excerpt widely known as ATHENIAN SOCIETY

How was the ku klux klan able to expand its membership
steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

often focused on the history of white supremacy in the United States, and how much broader that history is in its impacts and geography than is often assumed. That aspect is highlighted in a new book about the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, The Second Coming of the KKK by two-time Bancroft Prize winner Linda Gordon, which puts modern anti-immigration and antisemitic rhetoric in context. In fact, though the KKK is best known for its racist attacks, other forms of hate have long been part of its history.
