Answer:

John Brown was an American abolitionist. Brown advocated the use of armed insurrection to overthrow the institution of slavery in the United States. He first gained national attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856. He was dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement: "These men are all talk. What we need is action—action!" In May 1856, Brown and his supporters killed five supporters of slavery in the Pottawatomie massacre, which responded to the sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery forces. Brown then commanded anti-slavery forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie.

What was the effect of the zimmerman telegram on world war i?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

<h2>b. It helped convince U.S. leaders to send american troops to fight in Europe.</h2>

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans had swept the nation a couple years earlier, following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania. A German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915. Over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans.

Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at that time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But a couple years later they resumed such attacks. That was one factor that helped to convince the USA to enter the war. Then also there was the intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.
