America goes to war

Britain's blockade Prevents resources from reaching Germany. 750,000 die in Germany due to famine American's upset Germany responds with U-boats

Unrestricted submarine warfare U-boats were used to sink any British or ally ship around Britain. Often no Warning Lusitania, British cruise ship sank by Germans, 1198 people died (127 Americans)

Wilson Threatens Germany that if they continue with U-Boats US would quit helping them. Germany continues once a year: Arabic and Sussex Germany agrees to end if US helps end the blockade. Wilson wins the election of 1916. Describes to Congress a "league of peace"= democracy, free seas, and reduce armaments

Germany Ignores Wilson's call for peace. Resumed unrestricted submarine warfare Zimmerman Note- proposed alliance between Germany and Mexico would give Mexico territories lost to the US back.

Additions to decision Germany sinks 4 American merchant ships Russia eliminates monarchy for a representative government
