CAUSE OF WORLD WAR 1

                                                                                   world War 1      One of the causes for World War 1 was imperalism. Imperalism was when another country was trying to take over a weaker country. The second cause of World War 1 was nationalism. Nationalsm is when someone has good pride in their country. Most of the people really loved there country. The third major cause of World War 1 was militarism. Militarism was when anything was about to happen the army was ready to fight no matter what. The last major reason for the war was the alliances. Many country were in aliiances with other countrys. For example Britain,France, and Belgium.
        The out burst of the war was the assiassination of the prince and his wife. The reason the U.S. got pulled into the war was because they were in alliance with France,and Great Britain. The United States declared war on Germany. Germany violated the U.S. neutrality, when they sunk the Luisatania and killed 128 Americans. The United States interferred with the Zimmermann Telegram. The Telegram was going to Mexico and it said"that if you help us in the war we would give you some of your land back".
   I think that war was very well played. Before the United States got pulled into the war Germany was trying to end it. When the U.S. interferred with the Zimermann Telegram it turned the whole war around. If Germany didnt sink the ship the war would of never happened. The U.S. is stupid because the British said "dont come around the island or else we will blow up the ship and we dont care if it is just a crusier ship" The United States took a risk with doing that and for that cause 128 Americans were killed. The U.S. was ignorant to me for not listening to the command.

Two Laws Concerning The Same Issue

                                                          THE DAWES ACT
    
  The Dawes Act was was passed on February 8 1887. The Dawes Act is when they couldnt extend the territory that was occupied. In  1893 President Grover Cleveland appointed the Dawes Commission to make a deal  with the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and the siminloes. Alot of people did not like the idea of the Dawes Act. After they made a deal with these tribes many other lawes and acts were passed. After negotiation came wonders with different things happening.

                                                                               Homestead Act
     
         The Homestead Act stated  that any citizen or about to be  citizen could claim 160 acres of land  - one quarter square mile - of the  government land. If you lived there for more than five years the land will become yours. People dreamed of having a family live on a farm. There were many people buying house so that they can have acres to grow crops. By the 1850's everyone already had a piece of the land. Little by little the land started to become cramped. The land between Missouri and the Rocky Mountains were claimed by the Indians.
