Germany’s Response January 31, 1916 Kaiser Wilhelm All ships in British waters would be sunk Unrestricted Submarine warfare War was inevitable Wilson would wait “actual overt acts”

Zimmermann Note

U.S. Enters WWI Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot. The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind….we are glad…to fight…for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples...The world must be made safe for democracy…We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no domination….It is a fearful think to lead this great peaceful people into war…But the right is more precious than peace
