Declaration+of+War+Against+Germany,+1917

Declaration of War Against Germany, 1917 The declaration was in response to the many acts of war set against the United States, when proclaimed neutral during word war one. America was attacked by Germany through th Zimmerman telegram, and the sinking of the Lusitania, along with any other ships trading in British waters. Eventually after time president Wilson went to congress and asked for declaration against war. It was declared April 4th 1917. This declaration was fully supported by, the public afraid of future German attacks and possible take over, the bankers that lent money to France and England and would like to see the money returned, and the traders hoping to reopen the waters of the British isles. The significance of this document does not have great effect on the entirety of the American society, though only influential in the world war one era. On a scale of one to one hundred with one being the most important, I would place this document in the area of the mid sixties. This is not an entirely important document and only has the most relevance in the ww1 era. Declaration of War Against Germany, 1917 in relation to the Lend Lease act 1941 These two documents can relate to each other because they are both actions against Germany during a world war. The lend lease was the loop hole act that allowed the U.S. to aid in actions against Germany and appear neutral. The declaration is the effect of when this plan no longer works and the country demands war. The lend lease act is also similar to the acts passed in the ww1 era to appear the same way and as before they ran their coarse towards declaring war with Germany. by alex russo
