public opinion
How did the central powers and allies try to influence American public opinion
The release of the Pentagon Papers turned an already war-weary American public even more sharply against US involvement in Vietnam. As of June 2011, the Pentagon Papers are declassified and available to the American public in their entirety.
That question is a matter of opinion.
This is an opinion question. Personally, I think the Dawes Plan was a very good idea. By bailing Germany out of its hyperinflation, the US gained a German market for American goods to get America's economy back in full gear.
The event that was most influential in turning American public opinion against Germany was the invasion of Belgium.
the Halocaust and Hitler's determination to kill all Jews and establish a super race
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.
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
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.
The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln is one event that turned the American public opinion.
yes. up to that time war was thought of as glorious instead of violent. the media uncovered the true cruelty and violence of war.
Germany's invasion of Belgium.
Germany's invasion of Belgium.
1. WWI-Unrestricted sub warfare turned people against Germany. 2. WWII-America liked Germany prior to WWII, Germans even visited the US in the 1930s. Germany declared on America. America did NOT declare war on Germany (America simply reciprocated). Hitler wanted Japan to open a second Russian Front, as he had just invaded Russia the same year that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor; he also declared war the same year he invaded Russia. If Hitler helped Japan, he hoped Japan would help him.
