which events in 1917 caused the united states to enter world war i? check all that apply. britain intercepted the zimmerman telegram. germany sank the passenger ship lusitania. mexico attacked the united states on us soil. germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare. britain and france asked america to join the war.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Zimmermann Telegram was intercepted in 1917 and proposed a military alliance between Germany and Mexico against the US. Germany resuming unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917 directly threatened US - interests at sea. While the sinking of the Lusitania was in 1915, not 1917, and there was no such Mexican attack on US soil in 1917. Britain and France asking America to join was not a direct cause that led to US entry in 1917.
Answer:
Britain intercepted the Zimmermann Telegram. Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.
