Close consideration of the facts themselves, or of thoughtful histories of the facts, strongly suggests that World War I was in fact not at all inevitable. As with most significant historical events, the change of one or two pieces of the overall (usually highly complex) puzzle could have resulted in a profound change in the actual course that was taken. With World War I, for example, the decisions by Austria-Hungary, Russia, or Germany to threaten (then to make) war were not pre-determined. Even more importantly, the timing of the decisions made by these countries, if even slightly changed, could have avoided a world-wide conflict or resulted in a merely regional war.

Which factor contributed to the entry of the US into World War 1?

One significant factor that contributed to the entry of the U.S. into World War I was the unrestricted submarine warfare conducted by Germany, which threatened American commercial shipping and lives. The sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, where American passengers were killed, heightened public outrage. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., further galvanized American support for entering the war. These provocations shifted public opinion and government policy towards involvement in the conflict.


What event contributed to America's entry into world war 1?

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. These incidents, combined with ongoing unrestricted submarine warfare, ultimately led to the U.S. declaring war on Germany in April 1917.

Is the destruction of the world's forests is inevitable as our need for land and food grows?

Some say the destruction of the world's forests because of the need for land and food is inevitable, but others say it is not. If the world uses the land and farming techniques (biointensive planting for one) that are already available, the world's forests would not have to be destroyed. If they continue on the course they are on, then yes, the forests would be destroyed.

What is the difference between unavoidable and inevitable?

This is how I see it: Inevitable = Not Avoidable now or ever. Unavoidable = Not Avoidable now, but is or was avoidable at some point. For example: The saying goes "Death and Taxes are inevitable", (but that's wrong). You are born and one day you die, death is Inevitable. You may try to avoid paying taxes, but it's incredibly difficult, therefore Taxes are Unavoidable, but not quite Inevitable.

The Americans joining the first world war helped end it due to the fresh soldiers brought into battle, troops already in the fighting had a morale boost because of the influx of troops, evening the balance over the Germans.
