It could be considered as a key to the USA'S success. Back then we needed immigrants in order to build our nation. We were once immigrants to. So without the whole idea of immigration, the U.S might not have turned out as well as it did.
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan came into office with little experience in foreign relations but with a determination to base their policy on moral principles rather than the selfish materialism that they believed had animated their predecessors' programs. Convinced that democracy was gaining strength throughout the world, they were eager to encourage the process. In 1916, the Democratic-controlled Congress promised the residents of the Philippine Islands independence; the next year, Puerto Rico achieved territorial status, and its residents became U.S. citizens. Working closely with Secretary of State Bryan, Wilson signed twenty-two bilateral treaties which agreed to cooling-off periods and outside fact-finding commissions as alternatives to war.
In a statement issued soon after taking office, Wilson declared that the United States hoped “to cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence” of the Latin American states, but he also emphasized that he believed “just government” must rest “upon the consent of the governed.” Latin American states were hopeful for the prospect of being free to conduct their own affairs without American interference, but Wilson's insistence that their governments be democratic undermined the promise of self-determination. In 1915, Wilson responded to chronic revolution in Haiti by sending in American marines to restore order, and he did the same in the Dominican Republic in 1916. The military occupations that followed failed to create the democratic states that were their stated objective. In 1916, Wilson practiced an old-fashioned form of imperialism by buying the Virgin Islands from their colonial master, Denmark, for $25 million.

Answer:
Explanation:
The intention of Germany is to conquer France as fast as they could, as well as striking Russia afterwards.
Germans was forced to abandon Schlieffen plan by the compulsion from Russia, this forceful abandonment is as a result of sudden mobilization made by Russia which made the Germans to get out in troops to wage war against Russia at Eastern Front.
I don't think Germany could have won the war if it had stuck with the Schlieffen plan, reasons is that if Germany has failed to get out in troops like they did, gotten through France would have been possible, the bad news there is that Russia would have assaulted them violently unawared.
