Topic: U.S. Entry into the First World War Part 2​
If you were absent, use the "Timeline Documents" posted here to complete the "US Entry Timeline" graphic organizer. We will examine these events to answer: 
  • Was it possible for the U.S. to maintain neutrality in World War I?
  • What events pulled the U.S. closer to war between 1914 and 1917?
​Check your work against the PowerPoint. 
Note - I goofed on the June, 1916 slide and included a picture of a poster advertising the New Zealand Expeditionary Force instead of the American Expeditionary Force. Yikes.
