This description is that of sovereignty.
Because plants need sunlight to survive,and small mammals eat plants, and the tigers eat the small animals who eat the plants.
These are the correct statements that describe the United States' movement from neutrality to engagement in World War I.
- One of the main causes of the United States declaring war on Germany was the use of unrestricted submarine attacks.
-
President Wilson campaigned in the 1916 election with the slogan "He kept us out of war."
-
The United States began to support war against Germany after the Zimmerman telegram was intercepted.
-
The Zimmerman Telegram was from Germany to Mexico, promising them territory gained in the Mexican-American war if they allied with Germany.
Further details / historical context:
Prior to World War I, the United States had adopted a mostly isolationist view, not wanting to be involved in affairs across the ocean that were not directly related to our national security. When the war broke out, the United States did not impose a trade embargo on either side -- but American trade tended to be more with the Allies than with Germany. Similarly, President Wilson permitted loans to both sides, but loans to the Allies by 1917 were more than $2 billion, while American loans to Germany were only around $27 million.
Though Wilson campaigned in 1916 on the fact that he "kept us out of the war," by 1917 he and the nation were ready to go to war.
The reasons that led to US declaration of war:
- 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 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.
Well, the immediate goal of the allied powers was to eliminate Nazi germany on the western front, and later to defeat Japan in the pacific. However, these were very general goals, that gave way to far more specific goals later in the war. For example, Gen. Pershing suggested that rather than simply defeating Germany, it should be integrated into a single state with France, thus forcing the two countries that had started the way to work together to resolve their differences. However, stiff French opposition from the French head of state Clemenceau prevented this from happening. On the Japanese side of the way, Admiral Patton, commander of the US fleet in the pacific, suggested that Japan, rather than simply being forced to pay reparations, should simply be used as a testing site for future nuclear weapons. This was also shot down at the signing of the treaty of Paris, which ended the war. It was no shot down for humanitarian reasons, but rather it was discovered that was rich in natural sugar deposits. The last major goal of the allies at the end of the way was the containment of communism. However, they found that they were unable to do so. While the reason was long unclear, it became on his deathbed that president Truman had been a closet communist and had been working from within to prevent the US from containing Communism abroad.
