what extent did the US achieve the objectives that led to enter WW1?

The extent to which we satisfied our objectives was less than satisfactory.  We did put a halt to German submarine aggression in the North Atlantic, but Wilson's goals of forming a working League of Nations and having the US as a charter member were only partially realized.  The Leauge was formed, but the US Congress failed to adopt the Leaue's charter.  On the bright side, the US exited the war with relatively few casualties and its economic and physical infrastructures intact.  We had established ourselves as a super power.

Actually, some of your assertions are just incorrect, specifically the idea that the combatants in Europe were ready to give up and have a victor-less peace. I have read in at least two different places that, had the USA not brought in fresh troops, the Western Allies were willing to last until at least 1921 before another major offensive.\n\nThe impetus that brought the USA into the war, the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, was ordered by Field Marshall Hindenburg over the objection of both the Kaiser and the Reichstag. This was not a 'few petty ships' but had serious loss of life and was a direct challenge to the concept of both the rules of war on the sea and the rights of neutral nations (this is applicable even today, note the United States re-flagging of Kuwaiti tankers).\n\nIf Germany was ready for a victor-less peace as you suggest, they were in a perfect position to lead by example at Brest-Litovsk. Instead, Germany had set up a system of puppet governments along Russia's western frontier with the intention of the war lasting many years longer. The terms at Brest Litovsk were far more harsh than the terms at Versailles, regardless of what anyone claims, and if the Germans had spent less money and energy on cheating (yes, cheating before Hitler came to power!), Germany could have met its obligations with much fewer repercussions. The entry of the United States did not make German defeat a certainty because the amount of troops the United States would put into the field (2 million) would not replace the amount of soldiers withdrawn from the war with the surrender of Soviet Russia and the crushing of Rumania and Serbia. Ludendorf had ordered the 1918 offensive out of panic, and had directed it just as badly. If, instead, he had rescinded the order for War Socialism and allowed German industry to make windfall profits off of the war again as they had before 1916, Germany would have been fine.\n\nIn 1914, Russia had not yet declared war on anyone, but had instead issued an order for a partial mobilization supporting Serbia which freaked everyone out. When Nicholas refused to back down, that was when Germany declared war on Russia, not the other way around.\n\nHowever, three German judges in 1923 could have averted World War II, and they had all the evidence they needed to do it. Hitler had repeatedly said that the Weimar Republic had to be destroyed, and he took action in his Putsch. The first charge leveled against Hitler in the aftermath was treason, which as an Austrian national would have required Hitler to be deported immediately. By his words and by his actions, he was most certainly guilty, but one of the three judges was an admirer of Hitler's.

US President Roosevelt considered the UK to be a bastion against facism, and the US to be 'the aresenl of democracy'. Firstly, the UK was allowed to purchase arms and supplies like a cash and carry and later the "Lend Lease" scheme was introduced allowing the UK to get supplies at no cost at point of collection. Eventually the UK traded some ports and based (like Ascension Island) in return for 50 US Navy Destoyers.\n\nAfter that the US Navy was involved in escorting convoys accross the Atlantic, and then on 10th December 1941, Hitler declared war on the US.

The primary reason was the US was shocked by WW1 and didn't want to get involved in Europe's problems anymore.  The US was also focusing on a lot of problems at home, including the Great Depression, and didn't want to spend money on foreign affairs.

actually,  world war 1 began with the assassination of arch duke franz ferdinand of austria hungary.  germany had been itching to start a war with russia and austria hungary had been itching to start a war with serbia - russia and serbia were allies and germany and austria and hungary were allies.\n\nthe austrian/hungarians accused the serbians of plotting to kill the arch duke and attacked serbia.  russia joined the war against austria/hungary and germany joined the war on austria hungary's side.\n\nso at the beginning it was serbia and russia against germany and austria/hungary.\n\nfrance then joined because they were allies with russia and england joined because they thought it was wrong that germany and austria were attacking france through neutral belgium.\n\nthe united states of america joined the war in 1917 because germany was sinking us cargo ships heading for england.\n\nbut russia pulled out of the war in 1917 because of riots in the country and because the socialists took over the government.\n\nso before 1917 it was:  germany and austria/hungary versus:  britain, france, italy, russia and serbia\n\nfrom 1917 to 1918, when the war ended it was: the us, france, england, italy versus: germany and austria-hungary (serbia was defeated early on and knocked out of the war as was the case with russia)\n\nthe war was characterized by TRENCH WARFARE.  after germany had some incredible success at the beginning, both sides dug into long trenches and not much happened until the US entered the war.  by 1917 germany was falling apart economically and the american soldiers were helping to overrun german trenches.  germany surrendered on november 11, 1918.\n\nfor your report you can use this information but also include some major battles.\n\ngood luck.\n\ndan

The objective was two-fold. The removal of Saddam Hussein and the establishment of a stable, free democracy.\n\n\nFinishing this war, staying until we have accomplished the goals in their entirety is a much smarter choice than many want to believe.\n\nIF...America pulls out of Iraq too soon, it will leave a power vacuum in the country that would more than likely be filled by the lunatics in Iran. First order of business...start lobbing nukes around like the drunken pirates throwing candy and beads at the Gasparilla Parade. Result..world war 3. We would have to go through all this again. We are there (like it or not) and it makes no sense to do this job half-a**ed.

WWI-What did it do for america? Compare WWI to other wars in that time period. How much of an impact did it have? Why did we have another WW? State the reasons why it came about, who were our allies and who were our enemies, was there any agricultural, economic, political, problems in the U.S.? How did  it effect the other countries that were our allies and enemies did it enrich them or impovorish them? were there any underground operations to stop the war?

Well, since the Central Powers were Germany, Austria, and Hungary, I would guess that the German and Hungarian communities tried to get the U.S. swinging that way.  Good thing we stuck with the Allies.

The primary advances were the airplane, submarine, machine gun, tank, and posionous gas.  The machine gun made the frontal assault very costly thus trenches were used to protect the soldiers.  These trenches were also lived in, which produced rat infestation, constantly wet conditions, and poor sanitation.  All of these will contribute to the spread of disease and trench foot which sometimes resulted in amputation and even death. To attack the machine guns the tank was developed and although early models were notoriously unreliable their use in the final months contributed to the Allied victory.  Poison gas will kill, cripple, and blind thousands.  Airplanes initially used only for scouting will later develop into fighters against other planes and bombers.  This will lead to some of the best known participants of the war and the glory of being a pilot (Red Baron, Rickenbaker).  Finally the submarine will spread the war to innocents on passenger ships and slow commerce to England and from the United States.  More importantly it was the German use of Unrestricted submarine Warfare (along with the Zimmerman note) that brought the US into the war.  It was the infusion of large numbers of Americans with their aggressive fighting ability that will be the deciding factor in the Allied victory.

England, France and Spain colonize N. America.  England's colonies do the best, and they rebel and form their own country (USA) and slowly take over the rest of the country.  During this time, the south decides they don't like the national govt. and rebel.  The south loses and the country is unified.  WWI and WWII, now the US is a superpower.  The USSR collapses and the US is the most powerful nation in the world.  Terrorists fly planes into Trade Towers/Pentagon and then we invade Afghanistan and Iraq.  To be cont...\n\nEach state gets the number of electors equal to the number of senators and represenatives combined.  All electors vote for whoever the popular vote of the state chose.  Whichever candidate gets the majority of the electoral votes, wins.\n\nThere are three branches.  The executive (prez.), legislative (congress with two houses), and judicial (courts).  They each have power over the others in some way (balance of power) so that neither can control the nation by itself.

There were over a million Americans in World War I in 1918. Who are you looking for?

WWI began in 1914.  Germany is regarded as the primary agressor, but nationalist sentiments played a big role in all European countries, and there was great enthusiasm for the war on all sides.  Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary and Turkey (then known as the Ottoman Empire) against Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and later the United States (Japan also made small contributions on the allied side in order to seize German overseas posessions).  The U.S. entered in 1917, after Germany adopted a policy of unresctricted submarine warfare which was striking at U.S. shipping interests (including the supply of munitions to Britain) and inflicting civilian casualties.  The war ended on November 11th 1918. The uneasy peace which followed set the stage for all the major 20th century problems, from WWII, to the rise of communism, to the Balkan Wars, to the current tensions in the middle east. Bummer.

The Marshall Plan:  after World War 2 the united states implemented a plan to help and support the defeated enemies get back on their feet.  This helped keep festering resentment for having to pay reparations from occurring in these lands (which is what led to WW2 from WW1)

We were kind of trying to ensure the possibility for expansion.  The Europeans were no longer allowed to colonize, it would be considered unfriendly action if they tried.  And the U.S. stated again it's desire for independence to strive as a nation by telling the Europeans and Britain that they didn't want them interfering in American affairs.  They wanted to remain neutral in Europes war and feared Britain's ulterior motive of thwarting U.S. expansion.

Ok lets see, Independance from England = victory. Spanish/American war = victory. Civil war = victory for the Union. French Indian war = victory. WWI = victory for the side we were on. WWII same as WWI. Korea = draw (but Americas goal of saving South Korea was achieved). Vietnam = Victory  (the US never lost a majjor offensive). Panama = Victory, Grenada = Victory, Desert Storm = Victory (all military goals were met) \n\nSo, I'm not really sure what you are talking about. The US military is a tool or weapon. Its the best weapon in the world. But like any weapon it depends on the firer.
