    To stop American aid to Britain, Germany announced in February 1915 that it would use its U-boats to sink any vessels that entered or left British ports. President Wilson warned that America would hold Germany responsible for any American lives lost in submarine attacks. Determined to cut off supplies to Great Britain, the Germans ignored this threat. On May 7, 1915, a German U-boat torpedoed the British passenger liner Lusitania off the coast of Ireland. W.T. Turner, the captain, reported: “I saw the torpedo speeding towards us. Immediately I tried to change our course, but was unable to maneuver out of its way. There was a terrible impact as the torpedo struck the starboard side of the vessel. . . . It was cold- blooded murder.” The Lusitania sank in about 15 minutes. More than 1,000 people died, including 128 United States citizens. Americans were outraged.…

    World War I has a debatable issue about how the war was started. Some believe that each nation started it equally but I believe it was from a different cause. Austria-Hungary’s harsh act against Serbia and Germany’s unneeded declaration of war against Russia and France actually cause World War I. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia to quickly and then Germany declared wars on nations because it was “defending itself” even though it just wanted to gain more territories and use its large military. These rash acts caused the whole world to plummet into the largest war man had ever seen.…

    Originally in 1916, Wilson had run for reelection as president on the motto, "He kept us out of war." But advocates of military preparedness argued that the country needed to get ready for eventual involvement in the war. President Wilson then sought to use American might and idealism to alter the war aims of the Allies, by making U.S. intervention based on a "war to make the world safe for democracy." On 2nd of April 1917, Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war and four days later all but six senators and fifty representatives voted for a war resolution. The Selective Service Act that was passed the following month, along with an extraordinary number of volunteers, built up the army from less than 250,000 to four million over the course of the conflict. The biggest problem the Wilson administration faced was the threat of German submarine warfare. In February 1915, the German government, in consultation with its military leaders, decided to use submarines to wage economic warfare. On May 7, 1915, the British luxury liner Lusitania was sunk without warning by the German submarine U-20. In all, 1,198 passengers died, including 128 Americans. Wilson issued a strong warning to Germany in a series of diplomatic notes. When speaking regarding the actions the United States will take against the U-Boats in the Pacific, Wilson stated, “Therefore there may at any moment come a time when I cannot preserve both the honor and the peace of the United States. Do not exact of me an impossible and contradictory thing.” In February 1917, British intelligence gave the United States government a decoded telegram from Germany that had been intercepted en route to Mexico. Zimmerman Telegram authorized the ambassador to offer Mexico the portions of the Southwest it had lost to the United States in the 1840s if it joined the Central Powers. Wilson did not publicize the interception of the…
