Affect: 
On February 1, 1917, Germany ultimately broke the Sussex Pledge and returned to sinking all enemy craft. This outraged the neutral nations, who wanted their ships left alone, and something of a relief from Germany's enemies who wanted the US on their side. This anger US and framed Germans out to be barbaric and liers.]]> 2023-10-17 14:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750864543 styranovskim https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750864913 A German U-boat torpedoed the British-owned luxury steamship Lusitania, "killing 1,195 people including 128 Americans."

Affect:
Because there were no restrictions on who to sink. Sailors were dying, and theoretically neutral nations like the US were livid]]> 2023-10-17 14:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750865447 styranovskim https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750865730 Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany. The House concurred two days later. The United States later declared war on German ally Austria-Hungary on December 7, 1917.
Affect:
The entry of the United States was the turning point of the war, because it made the eventual defeat of Germany possible. It had been foreseen in 1916 that if the United States went to war, the Allies' military effort against Germany would be upheld by U.S. supplies and by enormous extensions of credit.]]> 2023-10-17 14:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750865730 styranovskim https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750866012 The Russian Revolution was a period of political and social change in the Russian Empire, starting in 1917. This period saw Russia abolish its monarchy and adopt a socialist form of government following two successive revolutions and a bloody civil war
Affest:
The United States responded to the Russian Revolution of 1917 by participating in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War with the Allies of World War I in support of the White movement, in seeking to overthrow the Bolsheviks. The United States withheld diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union until 1933.]]> 2023-10-17 14:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/styranovskim/d6csidlc791xpz7o/wish/2750866012
