They were using the boats to sink enemy ships. Throughout the war U boats would sink thousands of ships ships. Some of these ships were neutral ships which were being used for trade or commercial use. President Wilson didn't like the sinking of neutral ships and he warned Germany to stop the sinking. Germany apologized quickly and stopped the attacks. Later on in the war when Germany was desperate due to the British blockade, they started using the U boats again. Due to U boat attacks 7500 people died in WW1. Americans had died in the sinking of the people died in the sinking of Lusitania, Arabic, and Sussex. Unrestricted submarine warfare was a serious problem about the war and Germany for our president and people.]]> 2017-03-31 18:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164044085 zane_stenerson https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164047863 2017-03-31 18:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164047863 zane_stenerson https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164047909 2017-03-31 18:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164047909 U.S. Propaganda lucie_sarrazin https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164433363 During WW1 the government had to find an easy way to convince the American people into war. The way they solved this was through propaganda posters. President Wilson created the Comitee on public information, basically they censored all the news coming out. The government hired illustrators to make the posters. The posters would be found everywhere so every man, women, and child could see them. The government had three set plans/steps to go into the war. First they had to convince the American people into fighting a war against the Germans(mainly). Once everyone was excited to fight they had to get people to fight. This was when the famous uncle sam was introduced. Its a little ironic that something viewed as an american symbol was orginally propaganda. They also had to get funding for the war this was when libery bonds came about.  I think its ironic that many of our national symbols today were orginally propganda posters. ]]> 2017-04-03 18:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164433363 The Zimmerman Telegram mary_mccann https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164434843 The Zimmerman Telegram was a coded telegram sent by the foreign secretary of the German empire, Arthur Zimmerman, on January 19th of the year 1917. The U.S wanted to join World War 1 to go against Germany. Therefore, the telegram was sent ( The Zimmerman Telegram). The Telegram was decoded by the British intelligence, and when the American people found out what it meant, they were enraged. The decoding of the Telegram also generated support for the United States declaration of War on Germany.  Britain's discovery of the meaning of the Telegrams was considered one of their greatest triumphs during the war.  The telegram itself stated Germany's alliance with Mexico and Japan.  It also stated that Mexico would be given Texas, Arizona, and Mexico, which obviously, the US didn't want. That is why they were enraged. ]]> 2017-04-03 18:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164434843 lucie_sarrazin https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164437584 2017-04-03 18:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164437584 lucie_sarrazin https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164437957 2017-04-03 18:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164437957 mary_mccann https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164438732 2017-04-03 18:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164438732 US Loans to Allies mary_mccann https://padlet.com/lucie_sarrazin/f7yyiygm5118/wish/164439688 President Wilson was reluctant to enter World War I. When the War began, Wilson declared U.S. neutrality and demanded that the belligerents respect American rights as a neutral party. He hesitated to embroil the United States in the conflict, with good reason. Americans were deeply divided about the European war, and involvement in the conflict would certainly disrupt Progressive reforms. In 1914, he had warned that entry into the conflict would bring an end to Progressive reform.
    Shortly after war erupted in Europe, President Wilson called on Americans to be "neutral in thought as well as deed." The United States, however, quickly began to lean toward Britain and France.
Convinced that wartime trade was necessary to fuel the growth of American trade, President Wilson refused to impose an embargo on trade with the belligerents. During the early years of the war, trade with the Allies tripled.
This volume of trade quickly exhausted the Allies' cash reserves, forcing them to ask the United States for credit. In October 1915, President Wilson permitted loans to belligerents, a decision that greatly favored Britain and France. By 1917, American loans to the Allies had soared to $2.25 billion; loans to Germany stood at a paltry $27 million.

The Russian people started to lose faith in him because of how much corruption, the economy that was in ruins, and how he would constantly dissolve the Russian parliament (the Duma). The Russian involvement in World War 1 just made things worse for the country. Russia was no match for the industrialized and advanced country of Germany. Due to this when Russia sent soldiers into war many of them died (over one and a half million Russian soldiers).  They had much more deaths in this war than any other war for Russia. It was also very costly which hurt the economy very badly which hurt the country in general. These factors all added up to many Russian moderates who started to feel that Czar should be overthrown. Finally on March 8th, 1917 people started to protest (that started with people begging for bread) within a few days the protest spread to industrial workers. Then the army got involved which resulted in open fire and deaths. Eventually the Government officials was forced to resign, and the Duma gave power to the Pertograd Soviet. Czar resigned and offered power to his brother who declined. That ended Czar rule. The President saw this new Democracy and felt that the war was now Democracies against harsh Monarchies. Wilson now wanted to stick with democracies and that gave him pressure to enter the war.
The next revolution was lead by Vladimir Lenin who saw along with many others how weak their government was. They used force to acquire government buildings and overthrow the Pertograd Soviet. This new government that was lead by Lenin declared peace with Germany and began to Industrialize Russia into a Soviet country.
