Answer: To French revolutionaries, the guillotine symbolized the equality they were fighting for. They thought it was an efficient and equal way to kill people. In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens demonstrates that it really symbolizes how the revolution got out of hand. Victims of the guillotine met death quickly, seemingly painlessly, and all the while being afforded the dignity of a noble death. In these ways, the guillotine represented the leveling of society that the revolutionaries sought, in both life and death. The Enlightenment, a philosophical movement that dominated in Europe during the 18th century, was centered around the idea that reason is the primary source of authority and legitimacy, and advocated such ideals as liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state.

The Zimmerman telegram was a huge diplomatic mistake by _____.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:  GERMANY

<u>Explanation</u>:

The Zimmerman telegram was a note sent by Germany's foreign minister to the ambassador of Mexico, seeking alliance with Mexico against the United States if the US entered the war.  Learning of the telegram increased concerns by the US about Germany's intentions, and led to declaration of war.

Further detail:

The reasons that led to the US declaring war against Germany in 1917:

  • In January, 1917, Germany had resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare.  Germany had halted its attacks on non-military vessels (which it suspected of carrying military supplies) after the furor over the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.  But now Germany was resuming attacks by its U-boats.
  • In February, 1917, the "Zimmerman Telegram" was intercepted by British intelligence and shared with the US.  Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, had telegraphed an offer to Mexico's ambassador seeking Mexico's support in war vs. the United States in exchange for getting land back from the US.
  • On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson made a powerful speech to Congress in which he argued that the nation needed to enter the war "to make the world safe for democracy."  Wilson's speech was powerfully convincing, and four days later, Congress declared war.
