What were the decisions that lead America to become involved in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam war?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

WWI:

The sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915 and the Zimmerman Telegram that attempted to incite a Mexican invasion of the USA. These two things convinced the American public of the need to enter the war and allowed president W.Wilson to do it.

WWII:

The USA remained neutral for two years, but the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor of December 7, 1941, outraged the public. Congress authorized president FDR to declare war on Japan.

Korea:

It was already the Cold War. Washington thought that the invasion of South Korea by North Korea in 1950 was an elaborated plan to expand communist and it reacted to oppose and impede it. It was the rationale of containment.

Vietnam:

Same reason as in Korea: to stop communist aggression and expansion in Asia, following the containment doctrine.
