Captain Von Spiegals and Zimmerman Telegram

The Captain Von Spiegals and the Zimmerman Telegram were talking about the U-Boat warfare in German point of view. Von Spiegals was the Captain of the U-Boat, and he had posted his memoirs in 1919. It was all about what happened during the U-Boat warfare and what the Captain Von Spiegals thought. It said things about "FIRE" the order he gave. On the other hands, the Zimmerman Telegram was written by Arthur Zimmerman. It was talking about the submarine that Germany was going to send on February and said they should keep the United States neutral.

The Great War and the USA

The Great War was known as "the war to end all the wars," had changed internally because it was the first war for America that their American government had agreed to send a large numbers of solders immediately. The selective service act which is know as the national draft, being used the first time since ever entering the war. Moreover, people started to change their view toward black people. Racism started to disappear during the war. The Americans fought fiercely that finally earned the respect from every nation in the world.
During the Great War new technologies changed the way war was fought. Before the Great War, the soldiers had to fight face-to-face and hand-to-hand. But new technology made World War I a more impersonal war. New Machines had bring combatants more effective killing. (rapid-firing guns and powerful, Long-range big guns) Since there was dangerous machine guns that will kill people instantly, armies had to seek safety in trenches. Improvements to airplanes made the sky become the new battlefield. In 1906, Britain had brought the world's first battleship. These new technologies had made the wars more cruel and ruthless.

The importance and authenticity of the Zimmerman Telegram

The Zmmerman Telegra was imprtant to the was ecause itpersuaded the Unied tates to enter the Great War (Allies). Even thought i created asensation in the United STates abd changed anti-German feelingacross the nation. At first, ilon had not wanted to enter the ar; he thougt te loss of lifes were terrible. He was really sadabout the r because if the entered the Great Was, then there would be more deah. However, on April 6, the United Staes decided to go to the war by voting.

Whether or not the US should have entered the Great War?

The US should not have entered the Great War because it pleased many Americans before. Once Woodrow Wilson had announced that the United States would not take sides in the war. The United States would offer loans and seel weapons and supplies to both sides. Also, the Mississippi senator asserted, "There is no necessitu for war with Germany..." It was also good for the United States because they would help American bankers, farmers, and buinesses which means their economy would grow too. Because what had happened before, and what people had said, I think the US should not have entered the Great War.
