Answer: Turned Americans against Germany.
Explanation:
As Germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic, the idea behind the Zimmermann telegram was that Mexico would engage in war with the United States, which would keep US forces and funding occupied on its own continent and prevent them from jumping into the war in Europe. The British intercepted and decoded the message, and knowledge of it turned American opinion strongly against Germany and the US declared war and joined the Allies.
Here is the decoded text of the telegram sent by German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to the German ambassador to Mexico, Heinrich von Eckardt:
- <em>We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States of America neutral. In the event of this not succeeding, we make Mexico a proposal of alliance on the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous financial support and an understanding on our part that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of the above most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain and add the suggestion that he should, on his own initiative, invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate between Japan and ourselves. Please call the President's attention to the fact that the ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace.</em>
Answer:
In the late 18th century France was in upheaval. Having just overthrown its centuries old monarchy, the Revolutionaries were attempting to stabilize the country and create a new government that would benefit everyone. Theories abounded, debate was intense, and any opposition to the ideas put forth by the revolution’s leaders was brutally punished, usually at the guillotine. In 1789 the Marquis de Lafayette published the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Based strongly on the American Declaration of Independence the document was meant to lay the groundwork for the new government. However, there were some who thought it incomplete. The most notable was Madame Olympe de Gouges. In 1791 de Gouges published the Declaration of the Rights of Woman. Clearly directed and modeled after the Rights of Man, the Rights of Woman pushed for women’s suffrage and other equal rights. Though surprisingly similar, the two documents have some key differences in their wording, mostly relating to what defines a citizen. The goals were the same: improve life for the French people, though de Gouges of course had a broader viewpoint of how that should be achieved. Neither document would ultimately prove effective in their time, but both laid the groundwork for the ideals of future generations.
Both the declaration of de Lafayette and that of de Gouges seem to agree on what the rights of the citizen are. Madame de Gouges followed the same format with her articles and spelled out the same rights almost word for word. These include the right to freedom without social distinction, freedom from oppression, free speech, and the right to own property. They also both speak of the right to participate in government personally or through a representative. Both agree that there has been public disruption and government corruption. Both believe in fair trial, reasonable punishment, and the right to equal distribution of government benefits based on equal contribution to said government. Both documents also had the same ultimate goal. They wanted to extend equal rights and make the life of French citizens better under the new government.
