Presentation transcript:

America Enters the War World War I

Why did America join the war? 1915 The Lusitania is torpedoed by a Germany U-Boat 128 Americans are killed Outer Banks are a major hunting grounds for U-Boats 1916 President Wilson is re-elected 1917 Unrestricted submarine warfare continues The Zimmerman Telegram is intercepted

We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States of America neutral. In the event of this not succeeding, we make Mexico a proposal or alliance on the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous financial support and an understanding on our part that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of the above most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain and add the suggestion that he should, on his own initiative, invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate between Japan and ourselves. Please call the President's attention to the fact that the ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace

April 6, 1917 Senate & House pass declaration of war against Germany

The War Ends World War I

Armistice An official end to fighting Signed at 11 o’clock on November 11, 1918 Armistice Day Veterans Day

League of Nations International body proposed by Woodrow Wilson to make a lasting peace Never joined by the United States Why not? Many felt like the US could not protect its own interests if they were tangled up in this international organization

Treaty of Versailles Designed to punish Germany Gave up territory Gave up military Gave up lots and lots of money (reparations) Included the establishment of the League of Nations The U.S. never agreed to it
