The Alliance System in Europe in 1914 was designed to maintain Peace, yet it seemed to make the conflict worse once the fighting began. Explain the inconsistency. What other Factors lead to the war in Europe? How could the Nations have avoided the Conflict? How was there no stopping the Conflict once it Began?

2) Analyze why the United States was at first so removed from the conflict in Europe. What forces drew the nation toward war? What goals did the United States Have regarding the War in Europe? Explain How Relations Between the United States and Germany Deteriorated. Why did the United States Finally Declare War? Identify Alternative Solutions to the Problem of the U-Boat Attacks. How Would you address Congress to Convince Them not to Go to War? Would you keep the US out of War? Why or Why Not?
