Imagine that you are the editor of your local paper. The United States has just made the decision to join the Allies in WWI. Many citizens in your small town have not stayed up-to-date with current events and are unaware of the numerous things that have played a part in the US decision to go to war. Your job is to create an informative front page article that will explain the country's decision to join the war. Design a headline that captures what you feel is the main cause behind the US declaration of war. Use your story to explain the other events and circumstances that influenced US leaders to go to war.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

My informative front-page article will be this.

Title:

"The Moment Has Come. No more offenses."

We had to endure many things. But no more.

It is time, and we trust President Woodrow Wilson. In these difficult times of sorrow and world instability, the United States had to make a decision. And President Wilson was the man to make it right. The United States has entered World War 1.

The Allies so much needed to hear this news. From now on, all the strength and intelligence of the United States are part of the Allied Forces in Europe.

Finally, what events and circumstances influenced US leaders to go to war?

Well, basically two. First, the interception of Zimmerman's telegram in which the German's asked Mexico for its support in the war, in exchange for further support to take some of its territories back from the US. Secondly, the sinking of the Lusitania ship in European waters by the German Navy.

That is why, we, as US citizens, have the moral obligation to support our troops.

the first forms of writing came from them in the form of pictographs around 3100 bc.

                the united states presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on tuesday, november 5, 1912. the election was a rare four-way contest.

                incumbent president william howard taft was renominated by the republican party with the support of its conservative wing. after former president theodore roosevelt failed to receive the republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the progressive party (nicknamed the "bull moose party"). it nominated roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. democrat woodrow wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, to the support of william jennings bryan, the three-time democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. eugene v. debs, running for a fourth time, was the nominee of the socialist party of america.

                wilson won the election, gaining a large majority in the electoral college and winning 42% of the popular vote, while roosevelt won 27%, taft 23% and debs 6%. wilson became the only elected president from the democratic party between 1892 and 1932, and the second of only two democrats to be elected president between 1860 and 1932. this was the last election in which a candidate who was not a republican or democrat came second in either the popular vote or the electoral college, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous united states participated.

hope this !
