History
1 answer:

3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Two reasons the United States finally abandoned its neutrality and chose to enter World War I on the side of the Allies:

  • Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.
  • The Zimmermann Telegram revealed a German attempt to gain Mexico as an ally against the United States.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There had been great outrage against the Germans after the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, in 1915.  In that incident, over 1,000 persons were killed, which included more than 100 Americans.  Germany kept the US from entering the war at that time only by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  But two years later, the Germans resumed such attacks. This was reason #1 for America to go to war with Germany.

In addition, British intelligence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States.  The telegram was sent in January, 1917.  In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.

In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the Germans' submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.

How does the Seminole wars promote the ideas of nationalism and expansion?
sineoko [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there ate no options attached we can say the following.

The Seminole Wars promoted the ideas of nationalism and expansion in that teh United States federal government tried to get the territory of the Florida Peninsula to settle with white people to exploit the land, the raw materials, and the natural resources for the benefit of the white United States.

Let's have in mind that the Seminole Wars are comprised of three major periods of battles between the Seminole Native American Indian tribe and some African American allies that supported Great Britain during the War of 1812, versus the federal troops of the United States.

The first Seminole War started in 1817 and ended in 1818. The Second Seminole War started in 1835 and ended in 1842, Finally, the Third Seminole War started in 1855 and ended in 1858.

After the war, the Seminole Indians were forced onto a big reservation in the central region of the Florida Peninsula. All the Florida Peninsula was ready for white settlers and the exploitation of land to make profits.
