It is consider that both the sinking if the USS Maine and The Lusitania were factors in US entering two different wars (the war between US and Spain and the First World War).

The USS Maine was sunk in 1898 in Cuba. The battleship was near the  Cuban coast while there was a conflict between Spain and Cuban nationalists  fighters. It is believed that a mine was the cause of the explosion of the USS Maine resulting in the death of hundreds of men on board. There was already support in the US for the Cuban nationalist cause and the USS Maine incident galvanized the public opinion against Spain.

The Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine in 1915 near Ireland. The Lusitania was a civilian ship (although it was also carrying military supplies to England) and its sinking had a profound impact on public opinion. It helped the US goverment obtain popular support to declare war on Germany.

Explain causes of civil war in the period of 1820-1861 apush dbq.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Slavery, territorial crisis, nationalism

Explanation:

In the early nineteenth century the US had a dual structure - capitalism in the north and slavery in the south. These two structures were completely contradictory structures within a single state. During the American-Mexican War, the United States seized most of the land in the south. There was a lot of empty land here. The favorable climate in the southern part contributed to the development of the agrarian sector, especially cotton growing. The fact that the immigrants mostly went north created a working minority here. Therefore, from the seventeenth century onwards, blacks were brought here from Africa. In the South, 1/4 of the whites were slaves.

The development of machine-building in the north and the development of the agrarian sector in the South made the interrelationships between these two regions necessary. The South needed new technologies, and the North needed ready-made tobacco and cotton. But the difference between the structures was that they were saying their word seriously in relationships. The liberation of fleeing slaves and the emergence of new structures in the newly occupied territories led to the outbreak of civil war. Some 620,000 people were killed during the war
