issuing Germany an ultimatum and accepting the Sussex Pledge

Answer 1

c?

Answer 2

I think is "B"
The United States strongly protested the sinking but otherwise did nothing. Wilson was in possession of the original true manifest of the vessel and knew it was carrying munitions. He believed (falsely as it turned out) that the explosion of these items killed the ship (actual cause probably was a coal dust explosion in one of the bunkers). Wilson did shift American policy strongly toward Britain as a result of the sinking, and his Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan, was embarrassed before the German Government and obliged to resign.

Later, when the Germans resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and tried to get Mexico to preoccupy the U.S. with a border attack, the U.S. declared war on Germany. The sinking of the Lusitania was a precursor to war, but that didn't happen right away.

Answer 10

I think is "C"
While Wilson was opposed to the US entering WW I, he realized it might be unavoidable and started military preparations as early as 1915. This became one of the Democrat's issues during the 1916 campaign. The Republicans nominated Charles Evans Hughes and he was considered a "moderate" on the war. His views were very similar to Wilson's--try to avoid war, but be prepared. Because Teddy Roosevelt toured the country supporting US entry into the war, and because he supported Hughes over Wilson, the Republicans became the party who favored the US entering the Great War, in the public's opinion. The election was very close but the anti-war western states went for Wilson and the Democrats narrowly won with an electoral vote of 277 to 254.

Answer 18

I know this post was two years ago, but for those who look back at it the correct answer to the question regarding the sinking of the Lusitania is C.

If you read in the lesson, it talks about the Lusitania and there was no action taken. But when the French ship, the Sussex was also attacked by Germany some time later, America gives an ultimatum.

This is what the lesson says: This time, Wilson, in a speech to Congress, issued an ultimatum If Germany did not end its attacks on passenger ships, the United States would break off diplomatic relations, which was usually a last step before a declaration of war. On May 4, Germany responded with the Sussex Pledge, which declared a moratorium on unrestricted submarine warfare.
