Sail boats got their power from the wind, so if you went sailing on a day with little wind, you would have a hard time sailing. On the other hand, steam-powered ships had boilers and the steam that evaporated powered the ship. Steam-powered vessels were faster than sail boats, but they were also more dangerous because the boilers were at risk of blowing up.

If the US entered the war and if Mexico opposed the US, the reward would be Arizona California and one other state -- perhaps Texas. It was a major contributor to the declaration of war on Germany by America.

The sinking of the Lusitania was another major event. When the Lusitania was sunk, 2000 people were affected.

Submarine warfare really aggravated the US. Many merchant ships were sunk.
