History
1 answer:

7 0

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.

Why do some historians question Marco Polo's veracity?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The historians doubt Marco Polo's veracity of venturing into deep of China and Mongol as his accounts leave certain main descriptions such as the Great Wall of China, tea drinking, binding of women's feet, etc.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was an adventurer of the 13th century, who believed to have ventured across Asia. The accounts of his adventure to Asia is written in his travelogue which is published under the title 'The Travels of Marco Polo.'

Marco Polo ventured into the land of China through a route which later came to be known as Silk Route. Some historians like Frances Wood, questioned reliablity of Marco Polo's venture into China on the account of missing descriptions about China.

They argued, that, if Marco Polo did really explored into deep of China and Mongol region then how did he not mention about the Great Wall of China. And the most baleful practice of binding of women's feet. And the tradition of drinking tea.
