6 abr 1917 ano - The US Entered World War I

Descrição:

The United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917, when Congress declared war on Germany following a series of provocations, including unrestricted submarine warfare and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S. This entry marked a significant shift from the U.S.'s previous policy of neutrality, bringing the nation into a major global conflict with the aim of making the world "safe for democracy," as President Woodrow Wilson stated.
