    President Wilson did not want to enter into the war and tried desperately to be neutral, although the United States did send supplies to the Allies. President Wilson wanted peace and called for a “peace without victory”, where there would be no victor, no vanquished, no embittering division of the spoils of war, only “peace among equals.” (Experience History: Interpreting America’s Past vol. 2, page 637). This plan of peace collapsed when the German ambassador announced that unrestricted submarine warfare would resume. This decision by Germany, coupled with the sinking of the Lusitania, their sinking of four additional U.S merchant ships and the interception of the Zimmerman Telegraph that stated that if the United States joined in the war, Mexico would receive guns, money, and territory if Mexico attacked the United States. This…

    President Wilson’s main goal before the start of World War I was to not get involved. Practicing isolationism was a difficult task to follow through with though. Intercepting the Zimmerman Telegram from the Germans to the Mexican government changes the perspective of entering into the war. President Wilson’s “He Kept Us Out Of The War” campaign slogan quickly went out the window. Before America just entered into the war, Wilson wanted to make sure he had majority support from the American people. In order to obtain this support, Wilson initiated the use of propaganda into American every day life. The propaganda was meant to get people behind the war, get people to support the war, and also get the people to participate in the war effort. Two posters from the fifth chapter in Discovering The American Past Volume II (7th Edition), that seemed most effective were the “Spies and Lies”…

    In 1920 the American Professional Football Association (APFA) was formed. Green Bay joined the league in 1921 and in 1922 the APFA changed its name to the National Football League (NFL) on June 24. In 1922 after a couple of years of ups and downs the Green Bay Football Corporation was formed by town business men headed by A.B. Turnbull, the general manager of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. The team had good financial backing and was getting good players from college and just unknowns off the street and in 1929 they won the first of many championships. In 1935 a lanky wide receiver came on the scene and over the next 10 years helped Green Bay win three championships but the team was still very financially strapped and after 31 years with the organization Curly Lambeau resigned and became the head coach of the Chicago Cardinals.

    The Zimmerman Telegram

    • 2 Pages

    The Zimmerman telegram was originally sent by Authur Zimmerman, the German Foreign Secretary on to the German Ambassador in the United States, and directed to the German ambassador in Mexico, von Eckhardt. The subsequent events that instigated the release of the Zimmerman Telegram began with German’s policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. This policy allowed German U-boats to attack merchant ships without warning, in hopes of undermining the British by blocking their line of supply from North America. The United States remained neutral at the time, however in 1915, a German U-boat sunk the British ocean liner Lusitania. The ship consisted mostly of passengers, in which 159 Americans had died. The Sussex Pledge was issued as another sinking of a French ship called, ‘The Sussex,’ caused many American casualties. The US president, Woodrow Wilson became concerned and proposed this ultimatum stating that US would break off diplomatic relations if Germany did not stop sinking passenger ships. However, this did not last long as Germany was outraged over the British naval blockade that deprived thm of supplies and food. Germany abandoned the pledge and in response, the United States cut their diplomatic relations with Germany. The Zimmerman telegram was released on March 1, 1917 to divert United States away from going to war with Germany on the Allies side. The telegram listed that Germany would return to the policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, regardless of the neutrality of the US. It proposed an offer of military alliance to Mexico, in which Germany would provide financial aid and the return of their lost states, Texas, Mexico and Arizona. The telegram further advised Mexico to form an alliance with Japan to form a new Pacific and Central front, which would pose as a threat to the United States if war was declared. Germany’s plan was to use these alliances as a distraction to the United States on their Southern…

    American football as we know it originated from rugby played in Britain in the mid-19th century. The person who Americans consider the “Father of American Football” is Walter Camp. Professional football can be traced back to 1982, when there was a $500 contract for the Allegheny Athletic Association and the Pittsburgh Athletic Club to play a game against each other. Originally football was primarily a sport of the Midwestern industrial towns in the United State. In 1902, the American Professional Football Association was formed and two years later the National Football League. The competition was fierce between the two leagues, which led the two leagues to merge. Football eventually became national. When the two leagues merged is when…
