History
1 answer:
Serhud [2]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It was controversial because a lot of people who were on Lusitania were American citizens. Of course, many people believed that United States had to react on this by proclaiming war on Germany, a country that destroyed the boat. Still, Wilson and Congress believed that the time to wage war has not yet come.

Explanation:

When Germans sunk Lusitania, 128 American citizens died. It made American public furious. Still, president Wilson believed that America should stay out of conflict at least for the time to come. This was quite controversial as public believed that he closed his eyes to the killing of American civilians.

What event inspired the revival of the ku klux klan
NNADVOKAT [17]

<u>The Birth of a Nation was a film that triggered the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1910s and 1920s. </u>Its original name was "the Clansman". It was released in 1915.

The film is set during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, and tells the story of two families: one pro-Union and the other pro-Confederacy.

The film was a commercial success but it was also very polemic because of the manner in which black men were portrayed as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and because it represented the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as a heroic force. Such image presented, inspired the revival of the KKK.
