The document discusses two potential theories for why the US entered World War I:
1) The US was attacked despite declaring neutrality, as German U-boats sank American merchant ships and killed thousands of Americans.
2) President Wilson wanted to make the world safe for democracy and fix Germany's aggressive government, which had decided on ruthless attacks like U-boat strikes against merchant vessels.
3) After analyzing perspectives and evidence for both theories, the document concludes that the main reason for US entry was being attacked despite neutrality declarations.

This document summarizes the similarities between the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War and the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal during the Iraq War. Both incidents involved the killing, torture, sexual abuse, and dehumanization of unarmed civilians by US servicemen. The document argues that in both cases, the political climate promoted an "us vs. them" mentality and the dehumanization of the enemy. Additionally, military training had not changed substantially between the Vietnam era and the Iraq War, failing to adequately prepare servicemen to avoid such violations of international law. The document provides details on the political climate and nature of military training during the Vietnam War, arguing this contributed to events like the My Lai Massacre

The document discusses whether the United States should enter World War I in 1917. It presents two cases - one arguing the US should join the war on the Allied side, and one arguing the US should remain neutral. The case for entering cites Germany sinking ships with Americans aboard and threatening the US. Those in favor include President Wilson and a disabled veteran concerned for his safety. The case against entering cites a British soldier describing the harsh trench conditions and two senators who believe neutrality is best for the US and its citizens.
Wwi Powerpoint
The United States entered World War 1 due to growing anti-German sentiment influenced by historic ties to England, German policies like unrestricted submarine warfare that attacked American ships and killed American citizens, and American and British propaganda campaigns. German actions increasingly violated American neutrality and threatened American security, leading Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917.
