the republican Russia didn't last long. It was taken out by yet another coup. this time by a party known as the bolsheviks, this is where the communist party had it's roots.
the Russians had a dictator in power. they overthrew him and killed him and his family. they put a republican government in his place, and they final stumbleing block that prevented the US from entering with the entente was removed.
could also be called the Mass Paranoia Act, because that's what it was. It was just like the salem witch trials, if you were accused of supporting socialism you were locked up. and It certianly wasn't the last time either.
basically, the draft. it selected people for enlistment based on health and age. it was NOT voluntary.
A very decisive moment in the war, was when the U.S. joined. It brought fresh, new, and young troops to the field of battle after 3 years of fighting. We joined on the side of the entente, or, the allies.
It was a note sent from Zimmerman, for germany. it was sent to mexico, encourageing the Mexicans to attack the US. It promised a chunk of America to Mexico if they did.
German pledge to give fair warning to all ships before they were sank. The Pledge didn't last very long. It gretly reduced the efficiency of the German subs.
one event that led up the U.S. joining the war. There were some Americans on a british ship and the germans sank it. this angered many Americans
poison gas was used mainly in WWI. the first kind of gas that was used was a basic nerve gas. however later the gases were lethal
the event that realy started the cascade to war. because of alliances.
