World War 1
The timing of the U.S. entering World War 1 was important because the fire power they had, advantage of the troops, and was a turning point for the war. The United States had more fire power, they also had an advantage of troops, and when the United States entered, it was a turning point for what advantages they had.
The United States had more firepower than everyone else in the war because they joined the war later than they other countries. They had more guns and ammo for their guns. The United States had submarines and enough troops to power the submarines. They also had tanks that gave them an advantage in the war. Another reason the timing was important, they had an advantage of troops. The United States had more troops because
The American army was very big, with 16 million people fighting in the army during the war. There was 13 million soldiers in the German army and 3.5 million soldiers in the British Army. In 1941, when America joined World War 2, the army wasn’t what people had hoped it would be. The German army had more training and better equipment than the American army. However, as the war
From 1871 to 1914, several factors led to war in Europe; nationalism, imperialism, militarism, anarchy, and the alliance system that allowed a chain reaction to take place. Just as WW1 began, America was in a business recession, but the war, along with american trade with the Allies a Wall street financing of the war by JP Morgan which pulled the U.S out of it. When Britain intercepted the Zimmerman Note, which sought to entice Mexico into a military alliance with Germany in return to the American Southwest, Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war. American involvement in the war is mentioned so briefly because it came at the end of the war, and Americans suffered relatively few casualties, compared to the European powers. World War
There was a major difference between the American military and the British
We had only 16 battle ships to accommodate Britishes huge fleet. We were meager, ill furnished, and many of our officers knew about warfare. We were not ready. But one the money came and flowed in for the equipment we needed and the more little battles we won against Britain, the stronger we got. We were able to win victories for Lake Erie and New Orleans.
Between 1900-1920 the United States got into two major wars, the Spanish American War and World War 1. The were some similarities between the reasons for entering and the outcomes of them, there were also some differences. There are similarities and differences between the reasons for entering the Spanish American and entering World War 1. Similarities like social Darwinism and differences like militarism.
Americans drew the last straw and built stronger nationalism to fight even though the United States was severely unprepared for war. The Americans were willing to go to war to proudly defeat
World War I also had a huge impact on the American foreign policy. The U.S. was isolated but came out of isolationism to join the war. “... Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples…” (Document 4). In his speech, President Woodrow Wilson was telling the U.S. that we were joining the war because he wanted to keep peace in the world for democracies and their people. Another way WWI changed the U.S. foreign policy was by getting attacked and fighting back, taking us out of isolationism.
After much debate in congress, the U.S. entered World War I hesitantly on April 6, 1917, even after the U.S. was adamant about remaining neutral at the start of the war. There were mixed feelings on whether or not the U.S. should have entered World War I and author Cristopher Klein addresses both sides of the argument in his article, “History Faceoff: Should The U.S. Have Entered World War I?” The first half of the article is about why the U.S. decided to wage war on Germany. They entered the war for the security of the country and the preservation of world peace. The second half of the article discusses why some historians believe that the U.S. should have never entered the war.
The United states allies helped in the U.S winning the war. The allies that helped us win the war was British, Soviet Union, France and many other countries like Australia. The British gave the United States a lease for 99 years to territories in the Newfoundland’s, and the Caribbean. They gave us long term access to British
Political leadership, military strategy, organizational capacity, fighting skills and effectiveness, technology, mass production, resources, ideology, and morale, all were essential factors that influenced the war victory. The war at sea saw mainly the US and Japan competing in the Pacific and the US and Great Britain competing against Germany in the Atlantic. The offensiveness of the Japanese Empire could be contained and defeated by the US only after the fortunate victory of Midway in 1942 and the following buildup of an overwhelming superiority of the American forces. In the Atlantic, the German U-boats inflicted embarrassing losses to the British and American Navies. Only technological improvements and effective adaptation of the tactics (naval convoy tactics and dedicated anti-submarine airplane) allowed the Allies to recover the situation, regaining control of the sea.
By doing this, the Germans killed many Americans unjustly. If the U.S didn 't do anything, then the Germans would 've kept sinking more ships and killing the Americans that were onboard. Also, the Allies were losing the war. The soldiers were exhausted from all the years of fighting (trench warfare), it took a long time to even advance.
This unknown fact of American being neutral or not, ultimately lead to the United States needing to enter World War I. Although the United States President at the time, Woodrow Wilson, explained the reasoning for the U.S. entering WWI was because of Germany’s submarine warfare, the violence toll that Germany took on America relates back to the concealed matter of the nation of the United States actually being neutral throughout the time before war
The United States entered World War I April 6th, 19417. The US joined allies with Britain, France, and Russia to fight in World War I under the commander of Major General John J. Pershing. The US joined World War I for three main causes including moral, economic, and political reasons. Morally, United States citizens were called to duty to enlist in war because of propaganda from anti-German 's. Economically, American citizens entered war to secure economic productivity better yet, make a profit. Politically, unregulated submarine combat from Germany afflicted exports to Britain.
In the early 1900’s European countries began competing and with that they were also building strong army’s and navy’s. After a while, the United States got involved and were in need of the people’s support. It took convincing but once people got on board with the idea of going to war, war fever in the United States was at an all-time high. The United Nations had not yet been established which meant conflicts were not getting resolved. This was unlike anything the U.S. had done before.
One of the earliest causes of the Allied Powers victory was the failure of the German Schlieffen Plan. Its aim was to occupy the France, coming through the Belgium, and then, when these would be under their control, it would create one big front to fight with Russia. Unfortunately, everything went wrong, Belgium soldiers were extremely brave, what delayed the German advance. Germany did not manage to break through to France as quickly as it intented to. Due to the "Treaty of London", which guaranteed the independence of Belgium, Britain declared war on Germany.
