United States and Germany

When the war started, the United States had no desire to join the war. Things changed when the Lusitania was sunk by the germans and they had to stand up and join World War I. In the cloud of the United States, German, Goverment, War and Without are mentioned a lot which means that the United Stated wanted to stay out of the war but due to what the germans did, had to step in. The cloud of the Germans mentioned numerous times the words peace, sink, submarine and illegal. Basically their focus was on America's peace and how they planned to sink the US submarine and how they knew it was illegal. They did it to manipulate them and make them join the war.
