Two reasons: 1. The Lusitania is a ship carrying over 100 US passengers (and a cargo load of TNT!). Unrestricted u-boat warfare by Germany results in the sinking of this ship. The US gov’t intercepts the “Zimmerman Telegram” – a missive sent by the German government to Mexico, providing them with arms and funding to invade the USA.

4 In Russia… Desertion of 1.5 million soldiers along with trouble at home forces the tsar to return to riots in St. Petersburg. He is forced to abdicate the throne, and two groups fight over who will control Russia.

Immediately after he signs the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ending the war with Germany. This proves an unpopular move with his former allies. Russia will be thrown into a 4 year bloody civil war. eader of the Bolsheviks, will return to Russia from exile in Germany.
