I also struggled with this question and I'm not 100% sure about my answer, but it's better than no answer. I used the little scale thing on the bottom right corner of the map.

America was supplying Britain with tanks and munitions before they entered the war by putting them on cruise ships to make them look innocent. Britain later intercepted a telegram known as the Zimmerman letter, intended for mexico saying if America goes to war then Mexico should attack America and in return they will get their land back. Britain intercepted this and showed America, who later through a vote in Congress declared war on Germany. America was fresh in the war so they weren't tired from fighting, and had a lot of resources. America was able to help push Germany's lines back in the western front.

. a decrease in Native Americans as smallpox spread, but an increase in Spaniards as they continued to colonize.
Explanation:
Looking at the picture one can see that those affected by the smallpox are Native Americans but the Spanish person in the picture is fine. This mirrors real world events because the exploration of the Americas by the Europeans brought European diseases that the inhabitants of the Americas did not have immunity to.
It is estimated that Native Americans who died from smallpox were about 90% of the population. This enabled Europeans like the Spanish - who already had immunity for the most part - to colonize the continent much more easily.
