Reasons for U.S. Entry

1. Angered because a German U-boat had sunk the Lusitania (a passenger ship)
which killed 128 U.S. citizens.

2. Germans returned to understricted submarine warfar in 1917. That their
blockade would starve Britain before the U.S. could mobilize.

3. British intercepted a telegram from Germany's foreign secretary to Mexico
saying that Germany would help Mexico "reconquer" lost land from the U.S.

4. American's economic ties with Great Britain were much greater than with
Germany so they were closer and had already sided with the Allies.

3. There were some ways that WW1 was truly a global conlflict. One was the matter that in every continent there was at least one contru contributing to the war, whether it be supporting with warships such as Brazil did, providing men to fight as India did, or in other ways. So many people were involved in the war, as I just previously mentioned. The way not only happened on land but also in the ocean with submarines therefor the war took place in a vast amount of places.

4. The concept of total war affected the warring nations' economies in multiple ways. First off, the wartime government took control of the economy. Some facilities were converted to munitions factories, nearly every able-bodied civilian was put to work to the point where Europeangovernments even enlisted the help of foreign workers. Rationing of food was used due to the fact that so many goods were in short supply. The government also used propganda to keep up morale and support for the war.
