What most influential in turning American public opinion against Germany?

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.


Why did invasion of Belgium turn American opinion against Germany?

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.

One significant event that contributed to America's entry into World War I was the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in May 1915 by a German U-boat, which resulted in the deaths of 128 American passengers. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram in early 1917, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed American public opinion against Germany.
