Earlier in the year of 1915 Germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare on the area around Britain. The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that was sunk by a German U-Boat. This was significant because there was 128 Americans passengers who died on that ship. Also on the ship was $700 million dollars worth of weapons and ammo that the U.S. was lending to the British. The loses of Americans life angered the American nation, and the sinking of ammo and weapons angered the government making the nation want to go to war.

In the beginning of 1917 Germany sent a encrypted telegram to Mexico which was intercepted by the British and sent to the United States. This letter contained an offer to form a secrete alliance between Germany and Mexico. In return Germany offered to take territory the U.S. had previously taken from Mexico and give it back. This included the states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona which together was 504,292 square miles of land. The U.S. saw this as a threat from Germany which angered them and encouraged them to want to join the war.

After joining the war in April, WIB was formed to manage the U.S. Economy. The WIB played a major role in organizing the U.S. home front after the soldiers left for war. One of the most helpful things they did was encourage industries to start mass producing weapons and ammunitions for the army and Navy. Since Mass Production of the Army and Navy's necessities began it became very inconvenient for Industry workers to be on strike, so the WIB would approve the increase of wages for jobs during this time so a large portion of American citizens got paid more. At the same times citizens were getting paid more, prices started to go up since other good were not being produced as much since industries were more focused on making weapons and ammunitions.

The Treaty of Versailles, June 28, 1919 

# data[].attributes.body
The Treaty of Versailles was signed in Paris at the end of WW1 between the allies and Germany. President Woodrow Wilson had created 14 points to put on the treaty that would help create peace. Only one of his points was put on the treaty because the allies were more concerned about punishing Germany than they were about making peace. The one point that was accepted was the idea of the league of nations which was the idea that nations would talk out their problems instead of going to war about them. President Wilson was not able convince congress to join the league and it ended in a failure along with another world war that the U.S. would again participate in just years later.

The Economic changes after the war, 1919

# data[].attributes.body
After the War the U.S. economy needed to make a big transition back to how it was before the war. Factories didn't need to mass produce weapons and ammo for food anymore so they needed to make it back to producing what they did before. Also when soldiers returned for war they were looking for jobs in which the government tried to help get them one through the United States Employment Service. They also worried about World Peace, especially after Congress denied joining the League of Nations, so they must continue to be prepared for an unexpected war.

The main goal of the treaties was to break the Ottoman Empire apart and the U.S. and Allies did that.
