How did Britain encourage the US to go to World War 1?

To gain their entry into the war, the United States was subjected to a lot of propaganda, mainly from the British. However, events that were more influential in getting the Americans to join in were German ships that attacked a number of transports carrying Americans and the Zimmerman telegram. The Zimmerman telegram was a telegram sent to Mexico from Germany asking them to join them and attack the United States. The British picked up the intelligence and informed the United States what was going on. Once the US saw this, they were angered enough to go to war.

The Zimmermann telegram promised Mexico that it would get back the lost territory in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. Not only that, but Germany promised Mexico that it would help them gain back their territory.

Why was Zimmermann telegram important in world war 1?

The Zimmerman Telegram was the catalyst that brought the United States into World War I. The Allied nations intercepted a German telegram to Mexico in which Germany promised to support Mexico in a bid to recapture territory it lost to the United States in the previous century (namely, California, Arizona and New Mexico) the Mexicans would go to war with the United States to distract it from joining the War in Europe. Whereas the German policy of unrestricted submarine warfare bothered President Woodrow Wilson more than any foolhardy proposition of Mexico, public fury against the Germans gave Wilson what he needed to finally join the side of the Allies and thus bring the United States into one of the most devastating wars in history.

How was New York State involved in World War 2?

New York State was part of the United States of America. If the US goes to war, all states must comply. It is illegal for any ONE state to go to war by itself. If, for example, New York started a war with Great Britain, it would be illegal. Texas went to war with Mexico in 1836; but Texas was NOT part of the United States of America. Texas was it's own Republic (it's own country) until 1845. In 1845, Texas became a US State; it would have been ILLEGAL for Texas to go to war with Mexico after 1845.
