Presentation transcript:

Unit 5: Imperialism & WWI 1.6.17

America’s decision to enter the war: Reason 2 Unrestricted German submarine attacks Attacks without warning Germany first promised to give warning, then changed its mind

America’s decision to enter the war: Reason 3 Zimmerman note German plot to provoke Mexico to war against US Significance – changed public opinion in U.S.

Finally, war German submarine attacks on three more U.S. ships were the final straw Wilson asked Congress to declare war on April 6, 1917

Expectations Germany thought war would be over in 5 months This would mean the U.S. wouldn’t have time to mobilize Wilson was particularly interested in crafting the peace agreement at the end of the war

Pre-War America When America entered the war in 1917, we had just over 100,000 troops Smaller than 16 other countries Congress had to institute the draft Within a year, America had an army of 5 million

As America enters, Russia exits Russian Revolution Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, took over Signed a peace treaty with Germany Significance: Let Germany fight a one- front war

Arguments Against War What are some reasons why people would argue against going to war (either today or in WWI)?

Arguments Against War Many socialists & labor unions opposed the war. “radicals” Claimed that big business was controlling the govt’s decision to enter the war & that the govt was entering the war not to “make the world safe for democracy,” but to make $ on building war materials

Opposing Views Fill out the chart for both documents Document A: Speech by Socialist leader Eugene Debs Document B: Anti-war pamphlet by Charles Schenck Do you think Debs & Schenck were anti-American?

Opposing Views To counter opposition to the war, the United States government passed the Espionage and Sedition Acts, which limited the rights of Americans. On your own, read Document C & answer the guiding questions. Were Debs & Schenck guilty of violating these laws?

Opposing Views Do you think Debs and Schenck broke the law? Both Debs and Schenck were arrested for breaking the law, found guilty, and sentenced to jail. Debs served 22/3 years in prison until President Harding released him in 1921. Schenck spent 6 months in prison. Document D (Oliver Wendell Holmes) What does this ruling say? Do you agree with the ruling?
