H OW THE U.S. P REPARED FOR WWI

Why were we able to stay neutral? -We are far away. -Isolationism: policy in which you stay out of the affairs of other countries. Were we really Neutral? -No supplying Allies. Making $75 mil. a week! -British had a naval blockade around so Germans can’t get supplies.

G ERMAN S OLUTION : U-Boat-underwater submarine Radar is invented by the Allies to help against u- boats. Germans say have a right to attack any ships. **Lusitania: May 7, 1915 British passenger ship leaving N.Y. is attacked and 128 Americans die.

US R EACTION : Make deal Germany only can attack supply ships and not passenger ships. A year later (1916) German attacks French passenger ship The Sussex anyway. Solution: Sussex Pledge 1. Germans had to tell ships before attack them 2. Germans allowed to search for war supplies-if none found must leave ship alone. 3. Must save people (civilians) on ship 4. Americans would tell British to end naval blockade. (We did not)

Z IMMERMAN N OTE German Secretary of Foreign Affairs sent telegram to Mexico. If Mexico allies with them they would get back New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. Idea would be to have U.S. have to fight in their own land and not join Allies in Europe. British intercept telegram and Americans find out. (Mexicans never agreed anyway). They just tried to take our land!!!

US P REPARES FOR W AR Regulate Food & Fuel: 1. Food Administration: government agency regulates food A. Meatless Monday B. Wheatless Wednesdays C. Prohibition: no alcohol! 18 th Amendment. D. Tell farmers what to grow (farmers are making $$$)
