Because Germany kept taking provocative actions towards the United States. One example of this is when a German U-boat sank the Lusitania. While yes, the Lusitania was a British ship, (and Britain was at war with Germany at the time) there was over 100 Americans on board the Lusitania. As you can imagine, Americans back at home we're not happy about this. However, the final straw was when Germany attempted to send a telegraph to Mexico. Germany tried to tell Mexico if they joined the war as a German ally, they would help Mexico reconquer their lost territories, such as California and Texas. The British intercepted the German telegraph and sent it to the U.S. instead. The United States was furious and proceeded to declare war on Germany.

Explain how the conclusion of the French and Indian War affected Britain, the colonists, and American Indians in the region.

DIA [1.3K]

At the end of the F & I War, Britain gained control of the Ohio River Valley. Colonists thought that this would allow them to more easily move west. However, the British government had decided to leave all lands West of the Appalachian Mts (according to the Proclamation of 1763) be given to the Indians. This would keep peace in the area and avoid another war between colonists and Indians. The colonists were very angry about this decision. They had fought and died for the land and now were being forced out.
