Lusitania – USA Enters WWI

Do Now: Thursday 3/14/13 Read “The Lusitania” background info. Who would have wanted to sail on the Lusitania? New HW:  Propaganda Packet – Due tomorrow 3/15  “Breaking the Tie” reading – Due tomorrow 3/15

Lusitania Reasons FOR sailing on the Lusitania Reasons AGAINST sailing on the Lusitania How do you think the American public reacted? Would they have wanted to join the war to retaliate? How serious do you think this event was? Was the Lusitania simply a passenger vessel attacked recklessly by the Germans? NO: 4 million rifle cartridges for the British Army

Zimmermann Telegram How does the telegram spur Americans to enter the war?

Russia Drops out : Socialist party breaks into 2 factions  Bolsheviks led by Lenin  Mensheviks (more moderate) 1905: workers strikes throughout Russia 1906: laws to strengthen Czar’s powers 1907: Czar changes laws  more power to land owners 1912: Russian Army fires on striking miners – 150 killed 1914: WWI breaks out 1917: Czar Nikolas II abdicates throne (temp. govt)  Lenin & Bolsheviks storm the Winter Palace & seize power

QUESTIONS! How would you describe this time period in Russian history? By 1914, Russia was also fighting in WWI. How do you think the war contributed to these events? What do you think the new Russian Government should have done after taking over in 1917?

U.S. Declares War Join Allies Strong cultural ties  Share language with Britain  Respect France as another democracy February 1, 1917: Germany announced they would resume unrestricted submarine warfare Wilson denounced Germany Britain intercepted Zimmerman Telegram to Mexico offering to help reconquer lost territory in New Mexico Anti-German feeling intensified in U.S.

Discussion Question If a “World War” were to break out today between the United States (and her allies) and Russia (and her allies) do you think that the government would be able to use propaganda to influence your opinion of the war? If yes, how do you think they would manage this? If no, how do you think you would avoid it and obtain “factual” information?

America/Russia in WWI

Peacemaker 1918  2 million American troops on Western Front boost Allied morale Fourteen Points  list of terms to resolve this and future wars Self-determination  Eastern Europeans should have the right to choose their own form of government Germany realized the war couldn’t be won Kaiser stepped down  fled to exile in Netherlands Armistice  Germans asked for an agreement to end war with the Allies at 11 A.M. on November 11, 1918 Armistice Day  November 11

Breaking the tie What do you think would probably have happened in the U.S. had NOT joined the war? Explain why the arrival of even a small force of Americans provided a boost for the allies.
