How did the entry of the United States into World War I influence the conflict?
madam [21]

Answer:

It helped Allies stop a German offensive and support a counteroffensive that led to Germany's defeat.

Explanation:

I'm not entirely sure of the answer, but through the process of elimination I've made my way here. I know it's not the first one, because although we had a poorly trained military, we were not short on supplies.

I know it's not the third one, because obviously the United States entering the war had an effect on it. Even though there was a German blockade we most likely could've gotten through it.

It's probably not four because saying that the United States entering the war immediately caused the capture of Berlin is a bit extreme- all though the United States entering the war caused it to end quickly, it was still around a year.

What was the goal of the Union at the start of the Civil War?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Its initial goal was to reconcile the Union, while its mid-war goal became to reunite states under a Union in which slavery was not tolerated. The war from beginning to end would be a noble crusade for democracy for all people, not just in America, but throughout the world.
