Timeline
May 1917 - a German submarine sank the British steamship Lusitania. Nearly 1,200 people were killed, among them over 100 Americans. One Texan—R. T. Moodie of Galveston—died trying to save a woman and a baby. The sinking angered many Americans.
Early 1917 - German submarines sank more ships carrying American passengers, and American anger with Germany grew.
January 1917 - Arthur Zimmermann, sent a coded telegram to Mexico’s president Carranza. The note asked Carranza to side with Germany if war broke out between Germany and the United States. It also promised to help Mexico reconquer territories it has lost in the U.S.-Mexican War, including Texas. The telegram was intercepted by the British who informed the United States.
April 1917 - President Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany. Congress agreed, and the nation began preparing for war.

The Great Depression
Suicide Suicide was very high during the great depression. Many people had no money, no house, no family, no food, no water, no house and pretty much no life. People felt they had no point in life so they decided to kill themselves. | The Dust Bowl The Dust Bowl is where farmers decided to grow more crops so they had to cut more trees down and plow more fields. Then a massive drought hit and all the crops died. Wind blew all the dead crops around and created dust. This dust then was blown around in small little circles. It was devastating, people had to quit their job as a farmer and move to the city where they hopefully found a job | Can I Have A Job? People all over the U.S. were looking for jobs. During the stock market crash hundreds of people were fired because businesses couldn't pay them any more so they were fired. These people are putting signs around there neck to put a resume for any job. It states what they are good at and what type of job they want. |
