apr 6, 1917 - America Joins the War

Description:

Due to the sinking of the Lusitania, the constant sinking of British ships with American citizens, the nationality being felt throughout all of America, and the extreme importance of trade between the Allies and America, the United States declares war on the Germans and joins the Allies. This joining drastically turns the tide of war by providing an extreme morale boost to Allied troops, even though many didn't arrive to fight until much later than the joining date.
