What did jacob riis's book how the other half lives try to do?

The essay "How the Other Half Lives" attempted to show social inequality in New York City in the year 1890.

Explanation:

Between the years of 1865 and 1918, the United States began to establish itself as one of the greatest political, economic and military powers in the world. Cities became the economic centers of the country, industries overcame agriculture and livestock raising, drastically increasing rural migration.

In 1874, Riis got his first job as a police reporter on the New York Sun, after three years of experience in 1877, he moved to the New York Tribune. In 1874, Riis got his first job as a police reporter on the New York Sun, after three years of experience in 1877, he moved to the New York Tribune.

From his experiences and also work on the streets of New York, came the essay "how the other half lives", a photographic series based on descriptions, photographs and statistics. He condemns the housing system of tenements, and that most people on the verge of misery, was the cause of neglect and greed of the richest people.

Jacob hoped that the essay would touch the hearts of the people, so as to motivate them to eradicate the problems surrounding them.

Riis's initiative revolutionized photojournalism, in the sense of forming public opinion on issues not set out in US newspapers. Although Riis's essay was in print, a few years later in 1904, photographs were definitely used in the newspapers as an illustration and complement to the news.

i'll tell you everything i know

explanation:

the american entry into world war i came in april 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by president woodrow wilson to keep the united states out of the war.

apart from an anglophile element urging early support for the british, american public opinion reflected that of the president: the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among irish americans, german americans, and scandinavian americans, as well as among church leaders and among women in general. on the other hand, even before world war i had broken out, american opinion had been more negative toward germany than toward any other country in europe. over time, especially after reports of atrocities in belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner rms lusitania in 1915, american citizens increasingly came to see germany as the aggressor in europe.

wilson, as president, made virtually all the key decisions over foreign policy. while the country was at peace american banks made huge loans to britain and france, which were used mainly to buy munitions, raw materials, and food from across the atlantic. until 1917, wilson made minimal preparations for a land war and kept the united states army on a small peacetime footing, despite increasing demands for enhanced preparedness. he did, however, expand the united states navy.

in 1917, with russia experiencing political upheaval, and with britain and france low on credit, germany appeared to have the upper hand in europe, while the ottoman empire, germany's ally, held on to its territory in modern-day iraq, syria and israel. at this point germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. its goal was to starve britain into surrender, although it realized that this would almost certainly bring the united states into the war. germany also made a secret offer to mexico regain territories lost in the mexican–american war in an encoded telegram known as the zimmerman telegram, which was intercepted by british intelligence. publication of that communique outraged americans just as german u-boats started sinking american merchant ships in the north atlantic. wilson then asked congress for "a war to end all wars" that would "make the world safe for democracy", and congress voted to declare war on germany on april 6, 1917.

on december 7, 1917, the u.s. declared war on austria-hungary.

u.s. troops began arriving on the western front in large numbers in 1918.
