The document summarizes the key events that drew the United States into World War I despite President Wilson's initial goal of neutrality. It discusses Wilson's 1916 campaign slogan of keeping the U.S. out of the war. It then lists several events that unfolded and proved too difficult for Americans to ignore, including the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and the Zimmerman Telegram in 1917, which led Wilson to ask Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917 in order to "Make the World Safe for Democracy."

America drawn to war 3
A series of events unfolded that drew the U.S. into World War I, including Germany's sinking of merchant ships like the Lusitania which killed American citizens, the Zimmerman Telegram proposing a German alliance with Mexico against the U.S., and Germany's declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare which led them to sink numerous U.S. ships and turn public opinion against neutrality. Faced with growing support to enter the war and protect American interests, President Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917.
Origins cold war front sheet
The document summarizes the key causes of the Cold War in 4 areas: 1) the ideological differences between communism and capitalism as embodied by the USSR and USA. 2) A history of mistrust between the USSR and Western powers from the Russian Revolution to WWII. 3) The actions of the USSR after 1945. 4) The actions of the USA after 1945. Taken together, these factors made the outbreak of the Cold War likely between the Soviet Union and the United States.
World War I: Exporting Progressivism
1) Wilson promoted an idealistic foreign policy of making the world safe for democracy through a League of Nations, abandoning the traditional balance of power strategy.
2) In practice, Wilson covertly aided the Allies more than Germany during neutrality, disappointing Americans who expected the war to end all wars.
3) Wilson's failure led to American isolationism in the 1920s-1930s, creating a power vacuum in world politics that had fatal consequences for avoiding another world war.

This document summarizes key events in the United States leading up to and during World War I. It discusses Wilson's pre-war reforms, U.S. neutrality efforts that were challenged by events like the sinking of the Lusitania, and America's entry into the war in 1917 after the Zimmerman Telegram. The major battles of World War I on the Western Front involved gruesome casualties as tactics failed to adapt to trench warfare. Wilson promoted his Fourteen Points plan at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, though the treaty terms disappointed Germany and planted seeds for future conflicts.

Nazi soviet
Stalin was worried about German aggression after Hitler came to power in 1933. He tried to create alliances with Britain and France but was unsuccessful. By 1939, Stalin distrusted Britain and France's willingness and ability to stop Hitler. He signed a non-aggression pact with Germany in August 1939, shocking the world, as it essentially gave Hitler approval to invade Poland and divided Eastern Europe between the two countries.
World war two
World War II was the deadliest conflict in history, lasting from 1939 to 1945. Some of the key causes included the harsh Treaty of Versailles that ended WWI, the policy of appeasement towards aggressors like Hitler, and the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan. The main opposing sides were the Allied Powers (Britain, France, USSR, China, US) versus the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan). Over 70 million people fought in the war, and around 64 million died making it the most catastrophic war ever. The US joined the Allied effort in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of Germany and Japan.

Us enters wwi
The United States initially tried to remain neutral at the outbreak of World War I in 1914. However, Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, which resulted in the sinking of American ships like the Lusitania in 1915, caused tensions with the US to rise. Finally, in 1917, the intercepted Zimmerman Telegram, in which Germany sought an alliance with Mexico if the US entered the war, pushed President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. The US entered World War I in 1917 with the goal of making the world safe for democracy.
The united states enters world war 1
The United States initially pursued a policy of isolationism in World War 1, with many Americans wanting to avoid involvement in foreign conflicts. However, German actions like sinking civilian ships like the Lusitania that killed Americans, as well as an intercepted telegram proposing an alliance with Mexico against the U.S., turned public opinion toward entering the war. In April 1917, after German submarines sank three more U.S. ships, Congress declared war on Germany and the U.S. joined the Allied forces in World War 1.
Causes of the cold war - context
The Cold War began in 1945 after World War 2 and lasted until 1989. It was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc and the US-led Western Bloc due to their opposing ideologies of communism and capitalism. This divide threatened nuclear war as both sides developed powerful weapons, especially nuclear bombs. Underlying causes included tensions between the US and USSR dating back to the 1917 Russian Revolution, as well as disagreements over postwar control of countries like Germany and crises like the Korean War.
World War I (pt. 1 of 3 part series)
The document provides background information on the causes and early events of World War I. It discusses the system of alliances between European powers prior to the war, including the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, and the Triple Entente of Britain, France, and Russia. Rising nationalism and militarism exacerbated tensions caused by these opposing alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, drawing the rest of the allied powers into war. Germany attempted to quickly defeat France through Belgium but this drew Britain into the war against Germany.
Cold War - Why did detente take place?
The process of détente in the 1970s reduced tensions between the USA and USSR for a time. There were four main reasons for détente: 1) The Vietnam War weakened US confidence and made it wary of overseas wars, 2) Both countries faced economic problems that made continuing an arms race unaffordable, 3) Leaders feared nuclear war after events like the Cuban Missile Crisis showed the risks, and 4) Improving US-China relations worried the USSR and motivated it to seek better relations with the USA as well.
Cold war
The document discusses the origins and causes of the Cold War. After WWII, the alliance between the US, USSR, UK, and France broke down. Germany was divided into occupied zones controlled by each country, with Berlin also divided. The Cold War began due to historical resentment between the countries, the USSR wanting to spread communism worldwide, and both stockpiling nuclear weapons out of fear of attack from the other.
War around the world.
Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939 starting World War 2. Germany then quickly conquered several other European countries using blitzkrieg tactics. In June 1941, Hitler broke his pact with Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union. Japan also entered the war by bombing Pearl Harbor in December 1941, bringing the US into the war against the Axis powers. Over the next few years, the Allies regained ground and forces in both Europe and the Pacific. Germany surrendered in May 1945 after the Allied invasion of Normandy and the Soviet advance from the East, leaving only Japan still fighting until its surrender later that year, ending World War 2.

The armed conflict in Sri Lanka was between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan Army. The LTTE turned to violence after the Sinhalese government repeatedly rejected demands for a separate Tamil state. This started a violent conflict for a Tamil homeland through bombings and other attacks. Indian intervention in Sri Lanka further divided the country by violating its sovereignty and undermining the Sri Lankan government. This caused Tamils and Sinhalese to distrust each other more over time, creating lasting enmity between the ethnic groups.

World War I was a global war fought from 1914 to 1918. The main Allied powers were Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and later the United States, while the Central Powers included Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. Over 15 million soldiers and civilians died during the war. In 1918, the Allied powers defeated the Central Powers. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, ended the war and imposed punitive terms and reparations on Germany. However, its harsh terms sowed seeds of resentment that contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and a second world war.

The United States mobilized for war after declaring war on Germany in April 1917. The government implemented selective service, raised income taxes, and launched bond campaigns to fund the war effort. Over 4.8 million troops were drafted or volunteered. In June 1917, American troops began arriving in France under General John Pershing. The Americans helped turn the tide of war, engaging in important battles and offensives in 1918 before Germany signed an armistice on November 11, 1918, ending the war. Over 116,000 American soldiers died during World War I.

America drawn to war 3 (1)
A series of events led the U.S. to enter World War I in 1917, despite President Wilson's initial goal of neutrality. These included Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare against American ships, which sank many vessels and proved too provocative for the U.S. Other factors were Germany's attempt to enlist Mexico as an ally against the U.S. via the Zimmerman Telegram, America's economic ties to and alliance with Britain, and Wilson's vision of America playing a role in establishing a post-war world order that ensured future peace. By early 1917, Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany, claiming it was necessary to "make the world safe for democracy."

America was initially neutral when World War 1 began, but a series of events led the country into the war on the side of the Allies. These included America's longstanding alliance with Britain, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare which resulted in American ships and lives lost, the Zimmerman Telegram seeking an alliance between Germany and Mexico against America, and President Wilson's view that America needed to join the war to help shape the postwar world. By early 1917, these factors had convinced most Americans that their country needed to declare war on Germany to defend its interests and values of democracy.

German U-boat attacks on merchant vessels caused the sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania and the death of American citizens in 1915, further straining German-American relations. Unrestricted submarine warfare and the intercepted Zimmerman Telegram proposing a German alliance with Mexico against the US led President Wilson to declare war on Germany in April 1917. American troops then helped halt a major German offensive in 1918 and participated in the final Allied counteroffensive that ended the war.
World War I Overview

5. ANALYZING ISSUES
Why do you think Germany
escalated its U-boat attacks
in 1917? Think About:
• Germany’s military buildup
• the effects of the British
blockade
• Germany’s reason for using
submarine warfare
replaced with a representative government. Now supporters
of American entry into the war could claim that this was a
war of democracies against brutal monarchies.
AMERICA ACTS A light drizzle fell on Washington on
April 2, 1917, as senators, representatives, ambassadors,
members of the Supreme Court, and other guests crowd-
ed into the Capitol building to hear President Wilson
deliver his war resolution.
A PERSONAL VOICE WOODROW WILSON
“ Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and
innocent people cannot be. The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind.
. . . We are glad . . . to fight . . . for the ultimate peace of
the world and for the liberation of its peoples. . . . The
world must be made safe for democracy. . . . We have no
selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion.
We seek no indemnities. . . . It is a fearful thing to lead
this great peaceful people into war. . . . But the right is
more precious than peace.”
—quoted in American Voices
Congress passed the resolution a few days later. With
the hope of neutrality finally shattered, U.S. troops would
follow the stream of American money and munitions that
had been heading to the Allies throughout the war. But
Wilson’s plea to make the world “safe for democracy” wasn’t just political pos-
turing. Indeed, Wilson and many Americans truly believed that the United States
had to join the war to pave the way for a future order of peace and freedom. A
resolved but anxious nation held its breath as the United States prepared for war.

World War I
The First World War was a global war fought from 1914 to 1918 involving nearly all the world's great powers formed in two opposing alliances: the Allies and the Central Powers. The war had long term causes including militarism, imperialism, and nationalism, but was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. The United States initially remained neutral but joined the war in 1917 after German submarine warfare threatened American merchant shipping and the Zimmerman Telegram proposed a German alliance with Mexico against the U.S. The entry of American forces on the side of the Allies helped ensure their victory and contributed to the defeat and surrender of the Central Powers.
WWI
The document discusses key details about World War 1, including when it took place from 1914-1918, the countries involved, and the long and short term causes. It also discusses America's initial isolationism, what eventually convinced the US to join the war in 1917, including German submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Telegram. The US then helped supply the Allies with troops, money and resources to aid their efforts and turn the tide of the war. The war had social impacts on the US such as more women working and African Americans migrating north.

The document discusses the role of the U.S. during World War I. Initially, President Wilson proclaimed neutrality. However, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare threatened U.S. trade and lives. The intercepted Zimmerman Telegram also increased tensions. In April 1917, Wilson asked Congress to declare war to "make the world safe for democracy." The U.S. mobilized troops and supplies to support the Allies, who were struggling by 1918. American involvement helped shift the war in favor of the Allies, and Germany surrendered in November 1918.
World war i presentation 2015 a c
World War I lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved many of the major world powers. Key causes of the war included nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and a system of alliances that drew more countries into the conflict. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, pulling in allies on both sides. The United States initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 after German submarine attacks and the Zimmerman Telegram. After the war, President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points called for open diplomacy and a League of Nations, but the harsh Treaty of Versailles punished Germany, sowing seeds for future conflict.
World War I
World War I had many causes, including nationalism, militarism, and military alliances in Europe. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ignited the war. Early fighting resulted in a stalemate as the two sides traded casualties over small amounts of territory in trench warfare. The United States initially remained neutral but was drawn into the war by events like German submarine warfare that sank American ships. After the war, President Wilson promoted his Fourteen Points and helped establish the League of Nations to promote collective security and prevent future wars.
Comparative History
The document discusses the Great Depression and World War II over five parts. It describes how the Great Depression started on Black Tuesday in 1929 and devastated the global economy. Both Roosevelt and Hitler rose to power in 1933 in response to the economic crisis, and instituted similar policies like the New Deal and Nazi labor programs. World War II began in the 1930s as Germany expanded territorially under Hitler. The US initially remained neutral but entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war was characterized by racism, especially between Americans and Japanese, who viewed each other with contempt.
The cold war for u.s. history
The Cold War developed between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II as tensions grew over differing ideologies and Soviet expansion into Eastern Europe. This led to an arms race, proxy wars like Korea and Vietnam, and space race as each side sought to contain the influence of the other. Key events included the Berlin Blockade, formation of NATO and Warsaw Pact alliances, and Cuban Missile Crisis bringing the world close to nuclear war. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, ending the Cold War.
9.1 beginnings of wwi
The document summarizes the key events leading up to World War I, including the rise of nationalism, militarism, and alliances in Europe. Tensions mounted as countries formed opposing alliance blocs like the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914, these long-standing tensions erupted into war as countries were pulled in through their alliance obligations. Though initially neutral, the US was drawn into the war in 1917 after German submarine attacks like the sinking of the Lusitania killed American citizens and the intercept of the Zimmerman Telegram proposing a German-Mexican alliance against the US.
United States Enters World War I[1]
1) Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare led to the sinking of American ships, outraging public opinion in the US.
2) The Zimmerman Telegram was intercepted, revealing a German plot to ally with Mexico against the US if it entered the war.
3) In April 1917, after these provocations, President Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany and the US joined World War I on the side of the Allies.

Foreign policy & hitler
This document provides an overview of World War 2 history covering several key events and figures:
1) It discusses the rise of fascist regimes in Italy under Mussolini and Germany under Hitler in the 1930s as they violated the Treaty of Versailles and aggressively expanded their territories, which European leaders initially appeased.
2) Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939 prompted Britain and France's declaration of war on Germany, starting World War 2 in Europe. Germany then quickly conquered Western European countries in 1940.
3) Britain remained defiant against Germany under Winston Churchill, narrowly evacuating troops from Dunkirk after the Fall of France. The Battle of Britain saw German air attacks on Britain repelled that year.

Wilson & the peace treaty 5
The document summarizes key events around the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War 1:
- Wilson's 14 Points plan for peace was not fully realized due to opposition from European leaders who wanted to harshly punish Germany.
- The "Big Four" nations - France, Britain, Italy, and the U.S. - shaped the final treaty signed in June 1919 which forced Germany to accept war guilt and pay extensive reparations.
- The U.S. Senate rejected the treaty in 1919 due to opposition over joining the League of Nations and concerns about getting drawn into future European wars, leaving the U.S. as an isolationist country.
World war i 1
World War I was a global war centered in Europe that began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. It involved over 30 countries and resulted in over 15 million deaths. The war started due to increasing nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and a system of alliances that drew the major European powers into war. The immediate trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists. The war was fought mainly in trenches along the Western Front and resulted in new weapons and military technology but little movement in the battle lines. The United States entered the war in 1917 on the side of Britain, France, Russia, and Italy against Germany and its allies. The war ended with the defeat of

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
