Answer:
The congressional resolution for war passed overwhelmingly.
Explanation:
During the first years of World War I, the United States provided major help to Britain and France, especially in the form of credits and shipments across the Atlantic. Even so, it held a position of neutrality, even after the sinking of the passenger ship <em>Lusitania</em> in 1915 was widely condemned by public opinion. However, with Germany resuming unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917 as a means of starving the British Isles, and asking Mexico to form a German-Mexican alliance to invade the US as a means of keeping them out of the war in Europe, public opinion changed in favor of the war. <u>Congress overwhelmingly passed a resolution declaring war against Germany</u> on April 6, 1917, with a 82-6 vote by the Senate and 373-50 by the House of Representatives.
