Presentation transcript:

The united states and the great war

Woodrow Wilson Elected 1913 and again in 1917 Progressive/idealist “He kept us out of the war” Progressive/idealist At the end of war, he saw an opportunity to reshape international relations

Neutrality 1914, US declare neutrality American Immigrants supported Central Powers Germans Majority of Americans backed allies

Problems at Sea Wilson wanted freedom of seas Germany enacts Unrestricted Submarine Warfare (1915) to stop US ships going to the UK U-boats: German submarines

Lusitania May 7th 1915, Lusitania torpedoed, kills 128 Americans Carrying supplies Sussex Pledge: ends Unrestricted sub warfare for a short time (1916)

War? US providing supplies to allies In 1916, the National Defense Act, increases standing army

Last Straw Unrestricted sub warfare resumes (Feb.1917) Zimmerman Note (March 1917) sent to Mexico from Germany Mexico to get lost territories back Fake? April 6th, 1917 Congress declares war

America Prepares Selective Service Act: 21 to 30 year olds register with draft boards (changes to 18) 2.8 million drafted between 1917-1919 Economy shifted to wartime Conserve

In sum… American entrance vital for ally victory America supplied the allies with just about everything American deaths did not match French/GB but were still significant
