C.) expanding pensions for civil war veterans and increasing federal government purchases of silver
They were busy dealing with the great depression
The United States finally decided to join the World War I on side of the Allies mainly because of the following 2 reasons:
* The first one was the proposal made to Mexico in order to join the war against the allies, which meant the war was getting closer to American land.
* The second one was the German submarine attacks on American merchant ships.
After these two events took place, Woodrow Wilson the American president at the time talked to the Congress and requested it to declare war on Germany. And finally the Congress declared the war on April 6th, 1917.
I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is the second option. An opponent of Great Britain during the war was Italy. This is because Italy was allied with Germany and Japan (in a group known as the Axis) against the US Britain and France. Hope this answers the question.
Not:
Invasion of Poland
Nazi-Soviet Non-Agression Pact
Pearl Harbor
Munich Conference
The rest are all associated with WW1
hope this helps
