1. World War I began on July 28, 1914. The war began when archduke
of Austria-Hungary was assassinated. Two months after the assassination, the
Central Powers were at war with the Allied Powers. Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria made up the Central Powers. The Allied Powers
included Britain, France, Russia, Italy and the United States.
2. The United States entered the war on
April 6, 1917 due to Germany and Britain. Germany and Great Britain were
threatening to sink our ships, and sunk three more ships, President Woodrow
Wilson knew he was responsible for the safety of our country, so war was
declared.
3. The Central Allies were falling apart
when compared to the Allied Powers, and were not strong enough to fight the
United States joined with the Allied Powers. The war ended November 11,
1918.
4. The United States did not ratify the peace
treaty, because they did not want involvement with the League of
Nations, which would lead the U.S. to overseas problems and possibly
overseas wars. All of the countries had agreed to stop fighting while the
terms of peace were negotiated.
5. I would like to know what the United
States might do differently if given the opportunity to go back in time? Was
there a mistake that the US regrets making during this war?
