Who is on American side in World War I

History
1 answer:
bija089 [108]3 years ago
3 0

The American entry into World War I came on April 6, 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson to keep the United States out of the war. Apart from an Anglophile element urging early support for the British, American public opinion reflected that of the president: the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among Irish Americans, German Americans and Scandinavian Americans, as well as among church leaders and among women in general. On the other hand, even before World War I had broken out, American opinion had been more negative toward Germany than towards any other country in Europe. Over time, especially after reports of atrocities in Belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner RMS Lusitania in 1915, the American people increasingly came to see Germany as the aggressor.  

As U.S. President, it was Wilson who made the key policy decisions over foreign affairs: while the country was at peace, the domestic economy ran on a laissez-faire basis, with American banks making huge loans to Britain and France — funds that were in large part used to buy munitions, raw materials, and food from across the Atlantic. Until 1917, Wilson made minimal preparations for a land war and kept the United States Army on a small peacetime footing, despite increasing demands for enhanced preparedness. He did, however, expand the United States Navy.  

In 1917, with Russia experiencing political upheaval following widespread disillusionment there over the war, and with Britain and France low on credit, Germany appeared to have the upper hand in Europe, while the Ottoman Empire clung to its possessions in the Middle East. In the same year, Germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare against any vessel approaching British waters; this attempt to starve Britain into surrender was balanced against the knowledge that it would almost certainly bring the United States into the war. Germany also made a secret offer to help Mexico regain territories lost in the Mexican–American War in an encoded telegram known as the Zimmermann Telegram, which was intercepted by British Intelligence. Publication of that communique outraged Americans just as German U-boats started sinking American merchant ships in the North Atlantic. Wilson then asked Congress for "a war to end all wars" that would "make the world safe for democracy", and Congress voted to declare war on Germany on April 6, 1917.[6] On December 7, 1917, the U.S. declared war on Austria-Hungary. U.S. troops began arriving on the Western Front in large numbers in 1918.

What problems followed the fall of the Han Dynasty ​
Leokris [45]

The strong but benevolent Han dynasty began a golden era of reform and expansion. The first period, called West Han, lasted until 9 AD.

The Han Dynasty would become one of the most important and enduring dynasties in all of Chinese history. He would rule China for more than four hundred years, from 206 BC to 220 AD, and ushered in a golden era of peace, prosperity and development. Today, both the majority ethnic group in China and the Chinese script are called Han.

When the Han Dynasty government weakened over time and finally collapsed, the empire fractured during the Three Kingdoms period.

In AD 184, two major Taoist rebellions - the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Five Nozzles of the Rice Rebellion - broke out. In order to fight these rebellions, Emperor Ling gave military commanders control over their own provinces, but this gave way to a long struggle for power. In 189 AD, Emperor Ling died and was succeeded by his 13 year old son, Liu Bian, known as Emperor Shao. Empress Dowager He was a regent, and his older brother, Chief General He Jin, became the most powerful court officer. He Jin wanted to exterminate the ten attendants, a group of influential eunuch employees. He summoned General Dong Zhuo to march on the city. The plot was discovered by the eunuchs and He Jin was killed. In response, the emperor ordered the indiscriminate murder of the eunuchs. The survivors kidnapped the Emperor and fled only to commit su/icide after the arrival of General Dong Zhuo. The general then replaced Emperor Shao with the Prince of Cheniliu, known as Emperor Xian. Xian would be the last emperor of the Han dynasty.

Dong Zhuo was finally murdered and was succeeded by another warlord, Cao Cao, who wanted to reunite the Han Empire by defeating the rebel warlords. He almost succeeded, but was defeated in 208 CE at the Battle of Red Cliffs, a memorable turning point in history. With this defeat, most of the hope that the Han Empire would reunite disappeared. When Cao Cao died in 220 CE, Emperor Xian abdicated the throne, claiming that he did not fulfill the Mandate of Heaven. China was divided into three kingdoms ruled by warlords; this marks the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history.

Do you believe the president should be limited to two terms?
Reika [66]

I belive that the president should have two terms because if the president had infinite terms, he would more of a pharoah and therefore turn into a monarchy rather than a democracy.

I really hope this helps you. I cannot confirm this answer but good luck anyway!
