The war has lasted for a while now. I don't know how much more I can take. When the war started, America was neutral as the war started, we thought the two countries would come to a compromise, but none came up. Even though we were neutral, we were still big suppliers to the Allied Powers. We are big trading partners with Europe, we would send ships caring supplies, and grain, and other weapons, ships started to get shot down by Germans. They apologized, but it was a risk now to take a boat in the war zone. A few other ships had went down, but America still stayed neutral. Until the Lusitania was sank. It was caring more than a hundred Americans, and the Germans just shrugged it off. We then took notice, and we went to Congress to declare war. Congress passed the notion, and then we went to war on Germany. When we entered the war, we were late getting involved, so it was a huge mental help for the Allied Powers as we had more food, water, ammo, and other supplies that they did not have or were running low. We also brough along fresh, ready to fight men that most saw the front lines of the battle fields.
Wilson made several attempts to make peace, even sending both countries questions, like what would need to be done for both sides to end the war. Britain would send back actual answers with detailed things to be done, and Germany would send back a vague answer. Wilson Windrow's fourteen points was a peace treaty for all nations to abide by. It was to gain peace throughout the world as the war was getting worse. The nations that depended on America, and the countries that may have needed financial help after the war agreed to stay on Wilson's good side. French and British agreed with most of the fourteen points, but they wanted to take out point two- which was freedom of seas, and they wanted to take out eight- which was to evacuate the German to allow for repairs. After both countries agreed, they sent it off the Germany.
Until next time...
