On the telegram was a proposal for an alliance from Germany to Mexico. It was meant to encourage Mexico to get their lost territories back from the US which angered the Americans because it was an indirect attack on the US from the Germans who could back up Mexico. The US could've been in danger of being attacked if the telegram wasn't deciphered.]]> 2022-12-20 19:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426108359 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426402617 2022-12-21 05:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426402617 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426403009 2022-12-21 05:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426403009 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426446872 2022-12-21 06:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426446872 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426464613 Unrestricted submarine warfare was a German policy to attack and sink enemy ships. The Germans had sunk military, cargo, civilian, and all types of ships and held a blockade. This economically affected the US as it wasn't able to trade with the British. The Sinking of Lusitania was a very important moment as 128 Americans were killed. This encouraged the US to join the war.]]> 2022-12-21 07:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426464613 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426862864 The government encouraged people to save food. This affected the US economically and socially. As many Americans were fighting in the war, providing them and the Allies with food was very important.

Its purpose was to control the public's opinion on the war and it was successful in doing that. They made propaganda encouraging people to join the war effort, get in the army, help the army economically, ration, and many other things to help the US. As the US was neutral at first and wasn't involved in the war, the propaganda helped the US get into the war as they encouraged the citizens.]]> 2022-12-21 17:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426875384 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426888432 Battle of the Meuse Argonne was the largest operation of the American Expeditionary Forces.

This affects the US politically because the other nations do not agree to it. The Senate also opposed it as they believed that it will lead the Us into getting involved into other foreign wars. The allies wanted revenge on Germany and the US wanted to stay isolated out of all foreign wars and affairs.]]> 2022-12-21 17:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426888704 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426929445 After the war, League of nations was created to solve any disputes between countries before fighting a war. The US did not join the war as it wanted to be isolated. This affects the US politically and socially because since the US had suffered many casualties in a war miles away from home, they did not wanted to get involved in European affairs. They wanted them to deal with their affairs themselves.]]> 2022-12-21 18:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426929445 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426931512 The Selective Service Act expanded the military. The act required any man between the age of 21 to 45 to register for the military. This socially affected the US because it drafted or required men to serve in the military. This also left a lot of jobs unfilled but that's where the women got involved. This act helped supply the Allies with fresh troops to get an advantage in the war.]]> 2022-12-21 19:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426931512 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426996104 The US had to fund the military and its allies. US bonds were bought by investors to help support the military financially. This affected the US economically as it helped the army get funds and it also encouraged people to buy bonds. Buying bonds were also what a person could do if they wanted to support the war effort and were not fighting in the war.]]> 2022-12-21 21:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2426996104 nishchaya_gurung https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2427883728 The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty signed by the allies and Germany to officially end the war. The US however did not sign the treaty. This affected the US politically and economically. The US disagreeing to a lot of these things revolves around the desire to be isolated. Americans do not want to fight another war and get involved with the European affairs and wants to stay neutral and isolated. and signing the treaty will make that happen difficult.]]> 2022-12-23 07:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nishchaya_gurung/3vgtw89d5ja7ohul/wish/2427883728
