Another problem with prohibition is the fact that you have to smuggle it in and it causes different groups like gangs and cartels. It also causes the corruption of power in the government.

Prohibition does not work, because people will always be able to sneak the illegal substances into the country somehow. And this causes problems, because it causes many conflicts and casualties between the government and the smugglers, but the government will never be able to stop the smuggling entirely.

the reason is that the U.S. is the only country that wanted to make a canal to use as a trade route, which helped us out great.

That is a good point, because the Austrians used Imperialsim to try to gain control of the Serbians.

That is a good point and I found it surprising when the totla number of traitors from america was 0. It shows how much loyalty people have to one country.

The Zimmerman Telegram was actually was the biggest factor in joining the war with the allies, but there may have been smaller factors that were leading us into the war, but the telegram was the spark that started the fire.

Also, millions of people's lives would have been saved and the cost of the war would have been used on things of everyday life. Also it could have been used for research, so our technology may have been better in a shorter amount of time.

And also they got paid poorly, which made it even worse. Another is that it kept them out of school, so they wouldn't have as good of an education.

If the panama canal wasn't built it would hurt the entire U.S., because there were many different ships that went through there. Examples: Battleships, Tankers, and Freight ships. It would have hurt the U.S. in costs big time.

Somehow there were many immigrants that still wanted to come here, so that is an interesting fact.

I agree that it would have not been the same if we did not revolt, but also there would still be some similar traits we still have.

I think that WW1 was very split between the Central and Allied powers, because we had stronger ties with Great Britain, but most of the population in America was German. I think the reason we joined the Allied powers is that the Germans were stopping our trading to Briatain and other countries, and also all the threats they put on the U.S.

1 point

I wonder how WW1 would have gone if we did not receive the Zimmerman telegram telling the Mexicans they could have a part of the U.S. if they joined the Germans?

1 point

I agree, because there wasn't any real evidence of the Spanish blowing up the Maine, the yellow journalists just wanted to start a war against the Spanish.
