Explain this quote: "But Lenin was not playing by democratic rules. Slowly but surely, the shape of a new police state, with him at the helm, emerged.”

The quote is explaining the fact that Lenin did not believed in democracy because he considered democracy to be a burgeois system that benefited the capitalist class at the expense of the working class.

This is why he supported the idea of a worker's party domianted government, which would be led by him, and was the Bolsheviks Party of Russia. The Party would impose a police state that killed and made disappear many dissenters, political opponents, and wealthy industrailists and farmers.

when world war i broke out across europe in 1914, president woodrow wilson proclaimed the united states would remain neutral, and many americans supported this policy of nonintervention. however, public opinion about neutrality started to change after the sinking of the british ocean liner lusitania by a german u-boat in 1915; almost 2,000 people perished, including 128 americans. along with news of the zimmerman telegram threatening an alliance between germany and mexico, wilson asked congress for a declaration of war against germany. the u.s. officially entered the conflict on april 6, 1917.
