Since you didn't list choices, I can just provide you a summary of what led to the United States' involvement in World War I.

  • Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania.  When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, 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.  Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  
  • In January, 1917, Germany resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, again attacking non-military vessels which they suspected of carrying military supplies.  The resumption of Germany's U-boat warfare again inflamed tensions with the United States.
  • 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 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.

g100num [7]

Answer:

Creon expects total obedience from his subjects

Explanation:

In scene 1 of Antigone, we can see the order that Creon issued for no one to make a funeral for Polynices, and whoever disobeyed him would be punished with death. This shows how Creon demanded his respect for authority and expected everyone to obey him. However, Antígone is willing to make the funeral of Polynices, because she believes that the inmotion deserves to be veiled as a member of the family and not an indigent.

The revolutionaries planned to do this by eliminating Charles X , (who succeeded king louis after he was executed by his own people) . Eliminating Charles X from the government marked the end of monarch system in France, and changed it to popular sovereignty. Leaders of france was elected through democratic election after this event.
