the Halocaust and Hitler's determination to kill all Jews and establish a super race
The event that was most influential in turning American public opinion against Germany was the invasion of Belgium.
The most influential factor in turning American public opinion against Germany during World War I was the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, where 128 Americans lost their lives. This event, combined with Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare and the revelation of the Zimmermann Telegram, which proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico against the U.S., fueled anti-German sentiment. These incidents highlighted Germany's perceived aggression and threat to American lives and interests, ultimately contributing to the U.S. entry into the war in 1917.
In the Great War, American public opinion turned against Germany following persistent attacks by submarines on merchant shipping. The most notorious sinking was that of the passenger steamer RMS Lusitania on 7 May 1915 when 1198 out of 1959 passengers and crew were killed. The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner, and was was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat.
The Sioux sex pledge, while a notable cultural phenomenon, was not among the most influential factors in shaping American public opinion against Germany during World War I. The primary influences were the Zimmermann Telegram, unrestricted submarine warfare, and the propaganda disseminated by the U.S. government, which painted Germany as a villain. These elements, along with the broader context of patriotism and national security concerns, played a more significant role in rallying public sentiment against Germany. The Sioux pledge, though interesting, was more of a social commentary than a pivotal influence in wartime attitudes.
Most likely the attacks by Germany (in either world war) against American civilians and American shipping in the Atlantic Ocean.
No, the sinking of the USS Maine caused the Spainish-American War.
Belgium was a neutral nation
If you are referring to pre-WWII sentiment, the turning point was the realization that Hitler was using Charlie Chaplin's mustache for evil rather than for good, and perverting the public opinion of mustaches in general. In a patriarchal society such as ours, facial hair is just that important.
American public opinion turned against Germany in WW One & WW Two for various reasons. In WW1, Germany invaded France & Belgium in August 1914. Because, Belgium was a neutral country, Americans were upset with Germany. The invasion of Belgium however was not the most important factor. Later, German unrestricted submarine warfare also turned American public opinion against Germany. Then as a final straw, the German's Zimmermann telegram message to Mexico further angered Americans. In WW2, Germany invaded Poland, neutral Denmark, neutral Norway, neutral Holland, neutral Belgium, and so forth on & on. German submarine warfare also turned public opinion against Germany.
