I researched pancho villa. The reasons why the Us took part in the first world war was because since pancho villa was a revolutionary leader, the us thought that he would be helpful for the us to win the war. Finally, pancho villa took part in the war, and now, he's one of the most important people in the first world war's history...

• Who? Lusitania
• What? The Lusitania was an ocean liner owned by the Cunard Steamship Company, which was based in England. It is most well-known for being sunk by a German U-Boat during the First World War, causing over 1,100 deaths and marking a turning point in the war. At the time it was launched in 1907, the Lusitania was the largest ship in the world, and set several speed records for Atlantic crossings. It not only greatly improved stock in the Cunard company but it also paved the way for a growing number of large and elaborate ships.
• Where? England
• When? 1907
• Why? Individuals who wanted to cross the Atlantic at the turn of the twentieth century had to travel by ship. Ocean liners, at the time, were often lavishly and elegantly decorated to attract upper class passengers, although they also had sizable third class sections for immigrants interested in making a new life overseas. In addition to passengers, ocean liners also carried shipments of goods across the Atlantic. While civilian ships were not supposed to carry military supplies, many did. The Lusitania was no different. It carried all of these types of cargo, including upper and lower class passengers, commercial goods, and it has even been suggested that the Lusitania had military cargo onboard its last voyage.
• How? It was important because it was sunk by a German U-Boat during the First World War, Causing over 1,100 deaths and making a turning point in the war.
• Who? Jeannette Rankin
• What? She was elected to the U.S. house of representatives she was the first
• woman in the history of the nation to win a seat in the federal congress.
• Where? In Montana
• When? In 1916
• Why? Because she was a suffragist she wanted girl rights
• How? Rankin's vote against WWI contributed to her defeat in her 1918 reelection bid. For the next 20 years, she continued to work for the cause of peace. Ironically, she again won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1940, just as the nation was about to enter World War II. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, Rankin became the only person in the history of Congress to vote against U.S. entry into both world wars. This time, though, the principled pacifist from Montana cast the sole dissenting vote.
• Who? British Naval Blockade.
• What? A blockade is an effort to cut off food, supplies, war matériel or communications from a particular area by force, either in part or in toto.
• Where? Blockade historically took place at sea, with the blockading power seeking to cut off all maritime transport from and to the blockaded country; although stopping all land transport to and from an area may also be considered a blockade.
• When? Admiral Horatio Nelson's English fleet blockaded Toulon, France in 1810-1814.
• Why?
• How?
Immigrant letter

Immigrating from: Mexico
Writing to: Alex

The journey to America was a trip by boat that took months, the trip overall was terrible. People were crowded inside the boat, many people were sick. People were also cold, and when there was bad weather that we had to travel for months we would run short on provisions. When we would run short on provisions officers from the boat would take advantage of the situation and would sell us food at really high prices. The journey to America was a horrible journey.
The Ellis Island experience was a tough one. When I arrived to Ellis Island I noticed the moment I walked in that the officers were watching how people walked or if they showed any diseases. If they saw people limping up the stairs they would send them to get checked. They would check peoples eyes too to see if they had diseases. People who did have a disease would get sent back and weren’t able to enter America. The Ellis Island experience was really tough.
When I arrived in America it was a whole different environment. A lot of people where dressed up on the streets rushing to work. I arrived with my uncle and I got settled in his 4 bedroom house which was a pretty big house. I really liked his house, and after I got settled he told me I could work with him if I wanted to. I asked him what he worked in and he said he worked in construction laying brick, and block. So I said yes that’s fine I can work with you since you’re letting me live at your house. When we started working I thought it was nothing difficult but it was the complete opposite. Construction work was tough but he told, “Then you better get an education and go to school cuz here in America life aint as easy as people say”. Then I understood that he was right. I expected life in America to be really easy when the truth is that it is not.
The terrible journey to America, The Ellis Island Experience pretty bad experiences, and life in America is not easy at all.
Sincerely,
Sergio Burrola
Who- Pancho Villa
What- One of the first Mexican Revolutionary generals along with Ramiro Cervantes and Uriel Carrasco.
Where- San Juan del Río, Durango, Mexico
When- Villa was provisional Governor of Chihuahua in 1913 and 1914.
Why- Led the most important military campaigns of the constitutionalist revolution, in which his troops were victorious as far south as Zacatecas and Mexico City, east as far as Tampico, and west as far as Casas Grandes.
How-In 1910 Villa and his men came down from the hills to join Francisco I. Madero's revolutionary forces
This is the only topic that I have completed so far.
the topics i had to research were german u-boats,cotraband,and arthur zimmerman. i think the most important is cotraband because that prevented like items to not get to the enemys
1 OF THE 3 I CHOOSE WAS PROPAGANDA. I THINK THAT THE ONE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE PROPAGANDA WAS WHAT MOSTLY OCCURED ON US DURING WORLD WAR 1
The most important reason the U.S entered WWI was because German U-boats had sunk the Lusitania, which was a American passenger ship.
I think the most important subject I researched was propaganda, because propaganda is a big way of starting a war, by influincing other peoples opinions and turning people against eachother with this source of communication.
Jeannette Rankin
Who? Jeannette Rankin
What? She spoke in 10 states
When? In the first half of 1937
Where? 10 States
Why? To support the America First Committee she was the first woman to vote in congress.
How? Decided that lobbying was not the most effective way to work for peace
Lusitania
Who? Lusitania
What? Fired a single G-type torpedo
Where? Coast of Ireland
When? Morning of May 7, 1915
Why? His last available - at the RMS Lusitania at 1.35
How? Striking forward of the bridge on its starboard side.
German Empire
Who? German Empire
What? The German states prior to 1870 had retained separate political structures and goals
Where? Eastward in the direction of Russia and Transylvania and westward to the Americas
When? 1870
Why? Trading houses conducted themselves as successful Privatkolonisatoren [independent colonizers] and concluded treaties and land purchases in Africa and the Pacific with chiefs or other tribal leaders.
I think that the most important reason of why the U.S. entered WWI was because of the sussex pledge, because Germany rebelled against the U.S.A. and decided to try and beat Britain in a submarine warfare before the U.S.A. fully entered the war. Those German actions affected America which made them enter war.
The three topics i choose were Jeannette Rankin, Lusitania and the German Empire.. For me the most important one of this three is Jeannette Rankin because she was the first woman to vote in congress..

1882 The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in order to prevent an excess of cheap labor in the U.S. and provided the deportation of those who were adjudged illegal residents. The act froze the population of the Chinese community leaving its sex ratio highly imbalanced. For more than half a century, the Chinese lived in an essentially bachelor society where old men always outnumbered the young. Three years before, the previous president had vetoed a similar law completely restricting all immigration of Chinese immigrants to the U.S. A year after the end of his term, the new president passed the Chinese Exclusion Act.
1891 The Immigration and Naturalization Service was created to administer the federal laws relating to the admission, exclusion and deportation of aliens and to the naturalization of aliens lawfully residing in the U.S. The INS investigates the qualifications of applicants for citizenship and provides public schools with textbooks and other materials required for the schooling of those applying for citizenship. Also, agents of the service patrol the borders of the U.S. to prevent the illegal entry of aliens.
1892 The INS opens an immigration screening station at Ellis Island
1907 The U.S. and Japan sign the Gentleman's Agreement ensuring that the Japanese government will not issue passports to Japanese laborers intending to enter the U.S. Under the Gentleman's Agreement, the U.S. refrained from enacting any laws excluding Japanese immigrants until 1924
1917 The Immigration Act of 1917 not only expanded the classes of foreigners excluded from the U.S., but created the Asiatic Barred Zone, a geographical region covering most of eastern Asia and the Pacific islands from which no immigrants were to be admitted into the U.S. The law also imposed a literacy test and aliens who were unable to meet the minimum mental moral, physical, and economic standards were excluded, as were anarchists and other subversives, from the U.S.
1918 Congress passes the Anarchist Act of 1918 which expands the provisions for the exclusion of subversive aliens
luisitania was one of the most important reasons beacuse a lot of AMERICANAS died.

Topics to Divide to Lusitanian
who: Lusitanian
What: An ancient people of western Iberian Peninsula.

When: Lusitanian was an ancient Roman province including approximately all of modern Portugal south of the Douro river and part of modern Spain the present autonomous community of Extremadura and a small part of the province of Salamanca. It was named after the Lusitanian or Lusitanian peoples an Indo European people.
Why: Ethnological theories abound on the origin of Lushness and Lusitanian. Also the Lusitanian may have an ethno linguistic link with the Italic peoples of the Italian peninsula, which is commonly believed given by the history of the Mediterranean region.
Now: an ancient region of the W Iberian Peninsula a Roman province from 27 to the late 4th century corresponds to most of present day Portugal and the Spanish provinces of Salamanca and Caceres.

Jeanette Rankin
Who: Jeanatte Rankin
What: Jeannette Pickering Rankin June 11, 1880 May 18, 1973was the first woman to be elected to the United States House of Representatives and the first female member of the Congress sometimes referred to as the Lady of the House. A lifelong pacifist, she voted against the entry of the United States into both World War I and World War II, the only member of Congress to vote against the latter. To date, she is the only woman to be elected to Congress from Montana.
Where: a former schoolteacher originally from New England. She attended the University of Montana and graduated in 1902 with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology.
When: In 1908, she migrated to New York City, where she started a career as a social worker. She later moved to Seattle, Washington, and then enrolled at the University of Washington, where she joined the incipient suffrage cause. She was instrumental in the cause's efforts to enable women to vote in Montana, and women gained the vote in Montana in 1914.
Why: On November 7, 1916 she was elected to the House of Representatives as a Republican from Montana, becoming the first female member of Congress. The Nineteenth Amendment which gave women the right to vote everywhere in the United States) was not ratified until 1920; therefore, during Rankin's first term in Congress 1917-1919, many women throughout the country did not have the right to vote, though they did in her home state of Montana.
Now: Rankin died in Carmel, California at the age of 92 from natural causes. Rankin bequeathed her property in Watkinsville, Georgia to help "mature, unemployed women workers." This was the seed money for the Jeannette Rankin Foundation, a organization that gives educational scholarships annually to low income women all across the United States. The organization has built capacity since its single $500 scholarship in 1978 to the eighty $2000 scholarships it is awarding in 2007. In 1985, a statue of her was placed in the United States Capitol's Statuary Hall. A play based on the life of Rankin entitled A Single Woman was produced in 2004, and a film of the same name was made in 2008.

British Naval Blockade
Who: British Naval Blockade
What: A blockade is an effort to cut off food, supplies, war materiel or communications from a particular area by force, either in part or in too. A blockade should not be confused with an embargo or sanctions, which are legal barriers to trade, and is distinct from a siege in that a blockade is usually directed at an entire country or region, rather than a fortress or city.
Where: Close patrol of a hostile port in order to prevent naval forces from putting to sea, is also referred to as a blockade. When a coastal city or fortress was besieged from the landward side the besiegers would often blockade the seaward side as well. In the twentieth century, blockades sometimes included stopping all air traffic within the blockaded area.
When: Until 1827, blockades were always a part of a war. This changed when France, Russia and Britain came to the aid of the Greek rebels against Turkey. They blockaded the Turkish occupied coast which led to the battle of Navision. War was never declared, however, so it is considered the first pacific peaceful blockade. The first truly pacific blockade, involving no shooting at all, was the British blockade of the Republic of New Granada in 1837, established to compel New Granada to release an imprisoned British consul.
Why: President Kennedy and his advisors discuss the Cuban Missile Crisis. Part of the US response to Soviet missiles being placed in Cuba was a naval blockade of the island.
Now: Fourth: the willpower to maintain a blockade. The success of a blockade is based almost entirely on the will of the people who maintain it. The Cuban blockade is an example of maintaining willpower to block the missiles from reaching Cuba despite the risk of starting a worldwide.
