Was the US entrance into World War 1 justified?

Answer 1

Answer

yes.because several factors made neutrality difficult to maintain. As an industrial and imperial power the united states felt many of the same pressures that had led to nations of Europe into devastating warfare.

Answer 2

In those days, the American lives lost on the Lusitania were ample justification for a declaration of war on Germany. Earlier than that, the Zimmerman Note might also have easily been used to justify US entry in the war, but it was not. Instead, the US chose to wait until first blood was drawn before declaring war.

Answer 3

this is debatable - many people would say no.

it was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by a Serb. However, there were many long-term causes, such as the Franco-Prussian war, and the building of alliances, which cause tension between countries. This tension meant that the whole of Europe was on the brink of war, and Germany kind of wanted it to start, because they were so certain they would win.

In short, world war one started because of built up tension and complicated agreements between countries, which dragged each other into war.

Answer 4
