The Zimmermann Telegram Germany knew the US would enter the war soon Germany sent a telegram to Mexico proposing an alliance against the US Intercepted by the British and released to US newspapers 3

Primary Source! Read through the Zimmermann Telegram in a pair or small group Together, answer these questions (on paper) 1. What territories was Mexico going to “re-conquer”? 2. What advantage(s) would Germany gain by Mexico entering the war? 3. Do you think Mexico should take the deal? 4

US Reaction Mexico rejected the offer The US public was outraged April 6, 1917, the US declared war on Germany! 6

Crash Course: WWI How long was the US involved in World War I (WWI)? When did the war take place (years)? How many soldiers died? (estimate) What event (mistakenly) leads to the US involvement in WWI? What evidence proves this was NOT the reason for our declaration of war against Germany? Explain one of the domestic outcomes WWI had in the US.

1917 – The Eastern Front Russia had been hit hard by the war Bad leadership Food shortages 3 million soldiers killed Mass desertions (soldiers leaving the trenches and going home!) 8

The Russian Revolution Revolution! Bolsheviks (Communists) overthrew the government – Vladimir Lenin takes power The new govt. negotiated a peace treaty with Germany – Treaty of Brest-Litovsk Russia gave a huge amount of territory to Germany in exchange for peace Freed up hundreds of thousands of German troops to fight on the Western Front (a huge boost for Germany) 9

The End of the War 1918 – Germany was winning on the Western Front But, US troops finally arrived – stopped the German advance and began pushing them back Germany was running out of men and supplies, while the US had plenty Germany surrendered on 11/11, 1918 Veteran’s Day! 10
