Document Summary
The united states does not enter the war right away. It is not until after the zimmerman telegram that the us will enter the war. Wwi is a break from the past. The treaty of versaille was an ultimate failure. because france and england blamed the entire war on germany and held germany responsible for the war. Most core issues are not even discussed. League of nations, an international court, did not have the enforcement capacity or backing of the us. Woodrow wilson was supposed to be the mediator between the countries however, because of the lack of credibility/ political authority and being infected with h1n1, wilson was unable to attend. In the united states, we do partake in treaties however, treaties are ratified when of the senate agrees/disagrees then the president signs it making it ultimate law. Root cause of wwii is the treaty of versailles it also led to the great depression.
