True or False: The sinking of the British Passenger Ship "Lusitania" causes the U.S. to declare war on Germany.

History

<em>False.</em>

Explanation:

Although the sinking of the Lusitania was fuel for the United States to enter World War I, it was not the direct cause of it. The United States actually entered the war a few years later, but people still remembered the Lusitania.

Although there were numerous occurrences that happened that finally made the United States declare war on Germany, the sinking of the Lusitania included, the biggest reason for them joining the war was because of the Zimmerman Telegram.

In 1917, the British decoded a secret message that was for Mexico, from Germany. This telegram is known as the Zimmerman Telegram, and in it stated that if Mexico joined forces with Germany, against the United States, they would get numerous territories in America when Germany won the war.

This was the direct cause of the United States joining World War I. The Zimmerman Telegram finally made President Woodrow Wilson declare war on Germany.

What did the Massachusetts government act of 1774 change the way Massachusetts was governed
Bingel [31]

The minutes had different consequences. The Massachusetts Governing Act undid representative government and also decreed that political posts in colonial government were elected by Great Britain. The Justice Administration Act authorized the Governor of Massachusetts the right to transfer any judgment to Great Britain and authorized coercive actions to give witnesses to the case. The Boston Harbor Act closed the Port of Boston until it was paid for damages for the Tea Party in Boston, although it was never done. The Law of the quartering declared that the British troops not only had to lodge in commercial and empty buildings, but also in private houses.

The Intolerable Acts were also a determining factor for the convening of the First Continental Congress and the Declaration of Rights and Complaints. The Continental Congress rejected the Intolerable Acts when creating the Continental Association. The aim was to boycott British goods and if that failed to force Parliament to remove the tax records, then it would stop exporting to Britain.

On April 19, 1775, the tension increased that caused the Battle of Lexington, reaching the American Revolutionary War.
