Answer: GERMANY
<u>Explanation</u>:
The Zimmerman telegram was a note sent by Germany's foreign minister to the ambassador of Mexico, seeking alliance with Mexico against the United States if the US entered the war. Learning of the telegram increased concerns by the US about Germany's intentions, and led to declaration of war.
Further detail:
The reasons that led to the US declaring war against Germany in 1917:
- In January, 1917, Germany had resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. Germany had halted its attacks on non-military vessels (which it suspected of carrying military supplies) after the furor over the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. But now Germany was resuming attacks by its U-boats.
- In February, 1917, the "Zimmerman Telegram" was intercepted by British intelligence and shared with the US. Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, had telegraphed an offer to Mexico's ambassador seeking Mexico's support in war vs. the United States in exchange for getting land back from the US.
- On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson made a powerful speech to Congress in which he argued that the nation needed to enter the war "to make the world safe for democracy." Wilson's speech was powerfully convincing, and four days later, Congress declared war.
Answer:he mining industry was one of the industries that had great impact for the westward expansion in northamerica. Many people seeking wealth settled in western territories creating small mining towns. These towns were created when the existence of a gold deposit had already been proven but many times they were created only with the rumor that there could be gold there. They were prosperous towns at an economic level until the ore was depleted. Then they left the town. The timber industry began when settlers cut wood to build their settlements on American land. The westward expansion generated high demand for wood supply, which promoted the timber industry by strengthening the US economy. This industry grew by leaps and bounds and already in 1970, 41% of the timber in the United States came from the Pacific Northwest. During the era of the construction of the transcontinental railroad there was a dramatic expansion in agriculture. The number of farms tripled and the number of people living on farms increased to 31 million in 1905. Industrial agriculture favored the westward expansion since with the introduction of agricultural machinery farmers managed to increase crop yields with less labor. Farmers organized into local and regional cooperatives to promote their interests.

I believe it was a trade route that was used commercially. Traders often used this route because it stretched so long and wide across the US.
