There were two things, actually:  

  • Britain intercepted the Zimmerman Telegram
  • Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania -- but that happened before 1917.  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.  But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  

In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.

Drag each label to the correct location. A group of historians are doing research on the causes and the effects of the Great Dep
mart [117]

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

Political causes and effects – state officials' comments; high court rulings

Social Causes and Effects – a journal written by a common individual and the rate of literacy for one country

Economic causes and consequences - bank records and transactions; gold import records into the country

Many of them dated back to the early 1920s triggered by Great Depression. Historians research and argue about which factors start the Great Depression. There were far-reaching repercussions for the Great Recession too. The recession impacted the market, but challenges posed by the political system. Socially, women's livelihoods changed significantly in the 1930s, as employment was lost.

Napoleon said: “When we fight, no matter in what country, it is a civil war we make.” Do you agree with him? If yes or no why? U
vladimir2022 [97]

This line is part of the “Military Maxims of Napoleon”, a collection of tenets on the art of war which are still an inspiration for military students. Through this line, he makes his war beliefs and tactics clear. We should also consider the meaning of civil war: it is a war which if fought between different groups of people (different in religion, political ideas, etc) of the same territory. Having this in mind we can mention for example The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). They consisted in a series of battles between France and other European powers, financed and usually led by the United Kingdom. Among these we can mention The Battle of Waterloo 1815, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805, etc.

I agree in the sense that inevitably whenever there is a war there are 2 groups of a different nature, sharing the territory but fighting for a reason. I also believe that the “civil war they make wherever they fight” does not necessarily imply military participation. Nowadays, we see many countries, mainly Latin American ones, in which the different economic and political conflicts (“wars”) produce a gap and a clash between different national or local groups (“civil war”).
