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.
