United States Declares War;
In January of 1917 a German
official named Arthur Zimmermann sent a telegram to the Mexican government
promising them that if they were to join the war with Germany against the
United States then Mexico would regain lost territory in Texas, New Mexico, and
Arizona. The British government intercepted this telegram and somehow it
leaked out to the American newspapers and it outraged the people of America.
Germany then began unrestricted submarine war fare again on any ship in sight
and ended up sinking about six American ships killing thousands of American’s.
This in all pushed President Wilson to Declare war on April 6th.
