Correct answer: A. The Sussex Pledge

Explanation/details:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, which had happened in May, 1915. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. After the Sussex, a French passenger ferry, was sunk in 1916, the US demanded and got a promise from Germany to stop their unrestricted submarine attacks. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at that time by the Sussex Pledge. But two years, later, beginning February 1, 1917, the Germans resumed such attacks. This poised America to go to war.

What advances in science did Muslims make

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Muslims were really creative people back in the day (maybe they are now but I have no idea) so they created lots of things, but their creations were stolen because they didn't share the creations, they created things like coaches, clothes for animals, so if you look it up on the internet it would probably say that Americans made that or something. I know that because I have a history club after my school and they tell me loads of some intersting things people wouldn't know.
