Why did the United stars abandon its neutrality,choosing to enter World War I on the side of the allies
olga2289 [7]

<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.

What is one way the Constitution tries to prevent conflicts between federal and state governments?
atroni [7]

<u> B. It gives specific powers to the federal government.</u>

The United States Constitution grants specific powers and rights to the federal government, called "delegated powers", if it is not outlined in it, then the government should not do it. Furthermore, the Tenth Amendment establishes that all powers that aren't listed in the Constitution are granted to the people or the states. This way, it prevents conflict between federal and state government, and also prevents the government from abusing of its power.
