The two reasons:  

  • 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, <em>Lusitania</em> -- 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.

Describe the economy of Water Island?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

NOAA’s OCM maintains the Economics: National Ocean Watch (ENOW) dataset, which

provides time-series data for six economic sectors within the United States that are dependent on

the oceans and the Great Lakes. Based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the

U.S. Census Bureau (Census), and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), ENOW data makes

it possible to better understand the degree to which state, regional, and national economies rely

on the oceans and the Great Lakes. This allows policymakers and government agencies to make

more informed decisions about the management, protection, and use of these resources
