Imagine that you are the editor of your local paper. The United States has just made the decision to join the Allies in WWI. Many citizens in your small town have not stayed up-to-date with current events and are unaware of the numerous things that have played a part in the US decision to go to war. Your job is to create an informative front page article that will explain the country's decision to join the war. Design a headline that captures what you feel is the main cause behind the US declaration of war. Use your story to explain the other events and circumstances that influenced US leaders to go to war.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

My informative front-page article will be this.

Title:

"The Moment Has Come. No more offenses."

We had to endure many things. But no more.

It is time, and we trust President Woodrow Wilson. In these difficult times of sorrow and world instability, the United States had to make a decision. And President Wilson was the man to make it right. The United States has entered World War 1.

The Allies so much needed to hear this news. From now on, all the strength and intelligence of the United States are part of the Allied Forces in Europe.

Finally, what events and circumstances influenced US leaders to go to war?

Well, basically two. First, the interception of Zimmerman's telegram in which the German's asked Mexico for its support in the war, in exchange for further support to take some of its territories back from the US. Secondly, the sinking of the Lusitania ship in European waters by the German Navy.

That is why, we, as US citizens, have the moral obligation to support our troops.
