Which of the following accurately summarizes the involvement of the United States in World War I
A the US was involved economically, which provided critical resources for allied forces in central powers that forced a German armistice
B the US join the allied forces in 1914, but did not send troops until 1917 which eventually forced Germany to surrender
C initially the US was politically neutral and completely uninvolved. However, once enjoying the central powers, they helped forced Germany to surrender.
D initially the US was politically neutral and was involved only economically. However, once the US entered the war, its military involvement helped force in armistice.
The correct option that accurately summarizes the involvement of the United States in World War I is:
B) The US joined the Allied forces in 1917 and eventually forced Germany to surrender.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the other options and explain why they are not accurate:
Option A: The US was involved economically, which provided critical resources for the allied forces in central powers that forced a German armistice.
This option is not accurate because the US did provide economic support to the Allies, but it did not directly force a German armistice through economic means. It was primarily military involvement that led to Germany's surrender.
Option C: Initially, the US was politically neutral and completely uninvolved. However, once joining the Central Powers, they helped force Germany to surrender.
This option is not accurate because the US never joined the Central Powers. The US was neutral at the beginning of the war, and then later joined the Allied forces against the Central Powers.
Option D: Initially, the US was politically neutral and involved only economically. However, once the US entered the war, its military involvement helped force an armistice.
This option is not accurate because the US did not enter the war solely for economic reasons. While the US provided economic support to the Allies, its military involvement was crucial in bringing about Germany's surrender.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it accurately summarizes the involvement of the United States in World War I.
B the US join the allied forces in 1917, but did not send troops until that year, which eventually forced Germany to surrender
The correct answer is:
B. The US joined the allied forces in 1917 and sent troops, which eventually forced Germany to surrender.
