Hey everyone. Today we talked about America's reasons to join the Allies during WWI. We talked about how the U.S. was sending weapons and supplies to Europe, even though President Woodrow Wilson stated that the country would be neutral. We also talked about Germany's strategy of unrestricted submarine warfare, sabotage, and persuasion (Zimmerman Telegram). Lastly, we talked about how the Russian Revolution began to shape America's idea of getting involved in the war.
For homework, you have two assignments:
1.) Read Woodrow Wilson's address to Congress on why the United States should declare war against the Central Powers. Write one paragraph on the reasons he gives for joining the conflict.
2.) Create timeline spanning the causes of WWI and ending at the U.S. entering the war in 1917. Use your textbooks to get dates and for more information. MAKE IT CREATIVE. DO NOT DO IT ON LINED PAPER. You can include pictures or make it look nice, but I DO NOT WANT JUST A LINE WITH DATES. It has to be creative!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Have a great night!
