The intentions behind this to once again make this alliance with Mexico and proceed to attack the US on their own land. If this would of worked Germany promised Mexico that they would return their lost territory which were multiple states such as Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. But this was quickly intercepted by the British and later shown to the US and revealed the Germans plans and ultimately put the US on alert of this threat.

Germany resumes Unrestricted Submarine Warfare

# data[].attributes.body
When the announcement of Germany resuming unrestricted submarine warfare came out, it quickly became very significant because of the multiple problems that can arise in which they did. Any boat or ship that would come close to the war zone would be automatically destroyed regardless of flag or country. This proved to be a massive problem for the world and especially the US because it cutting off trade and supply routes. Especially then because the US were supplying the allies with weapons, medicine and other supplies. So as you can read above the significance of this event was of major circumstances and was a key factor of the US later joining the war.

US Propaganda promoting the sale of war bonds on April 28, 1917

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of the government promoting these war bonds was that this was a massive part of the funding for the military especially since they were going to war. Now yes there were other ways they were raising money, for example income taxes were a very important part of the funding but war bonds ended up raising $21.5 billion dollars for the war. These bonds were heavily promoted to the public with them really pushing for the citizens to buy them and the huge use of propaganda to commercialize them. Now the bonds were such a huge success they raised 2/3 of the total war raising for the US.

The US instated this new committee called the "Committee on Public Information" otherwise known as the "CPI". This committee was very important due to the fact that it was a propaganda agency and it was in charge of spreading it throughout the public. Some types of the propaganda that were shown to the public where military enlisting, liberty bonds, food conservation posters. This committee was a huge factor on the home front of this war because it prepared the citizens of the US and really involved them in the war.

The propaganda of the US wanting the people to conserve and grow their own food was of massive importance during this time of going to war. Why this message was so significant is because they needed most of the food for the troops that were going to war which is why they advised people to conserve. They wanted people to conserve and also be able to grow their own food and to change their natural diet to oatmeal and more conservative food. This ended up being a very important and successful factor as the component of attrition in a war is very crucial and with the US passing this, it was able to help the allies win this war.

The Selective Service Act was very significant because this is what got the public to enlist into the army. This act was a massive part of the preparation going into the war because this how they got their army to build up and to fill in the reserves. But this really became a very successful act as 24 million american citizens had signed up for the cause. But america only 3 million were called up to duty and with only 2 million of them being deployed to Europe to fight in the front lines.

The picture shows the destruction of the Second Battle of the Marne in which the US troops were a huge part of winning this battle. The US troops help turn the tide of battle and the tide of war also as them winning this battle would ultimately lead to them winning the war. This first started as the Germans were going to launch an attack operation but was quickly counterattacked by the allies, especially by the US. Which would later be a very significant turning point in the war with the allies winning this battle with the US being heavily involved with this important battle.

Approved by the Senate on June 4, 1919 the 19th Amendment was passed.

A significant consequence for the US entering the war was that once the war ended there was a revolt and a protest for women wanting their rights. This situation led to multiple conflicts in a way and most famously a group of women who were arrested for protesting in-front of the white house and later detained. Whilst they were prison they were treated wrongly to where they started a hunger strike to gain the attention of the public for these women rights. This case ultimately ended up putting more stress and problems for the President and strain on the country whilst in times of war which they later got their way to be finally able to vote.

The Treaty of Versailles was signed on the date of June 28th, 1919.

# data[].attributes.body
The significant consequence for the US participating in the war was that a aftermath result of this led to the infamous Treaty of Versailles. This Treaty would later become a huge factor to the rise of Nazi Germany with Hitler at the helm of it all. This consequence falls a lot on the US due to the fact that they were really one of the countries who were pushing for it and look at the result that happened. But of course with every risky action such as stepping into a foreign war there is gonna be after affects which which are either good or bad and unfortunately this treaty was a bad result of the US being in the war.

Another significant consequence of the US participating in the war was that once it was over there were still many injustices of inequality and a huge migration happening. This resulted into many protest where African-Americans felt as if they weren't getting treated the same as the white soldiers when both types of people fought in the war. But not only did they migrating up north for more economic and political opportunities they did it start up a new city type life style. Sadly this wouldn't work back then as racism was still such a fresh concept and it thriving through america and the disliking of colored people.
