The correct answers are A and C. On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson requested a declaration of war against Germany from Congress. The events that contributed to Wilson's decision to ask for this declaration were Germany's violation of it's pledge to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare, Germany's attempt to engage Mexico into an alliance against the United States and the sinking of the ocean liner Lusitania.  

In April 1917 the United States declared war on the Central Powers, which gave the war a global character. However, its effects would not be felt until 1918. The sinking by a German submarine of the RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915, where 128 Americans died had generated an anti-German popular feeling among Americans, but it was the German announcement of a submarine war "without restrictions" together with the confirmation of the authenticity of the Zimmermann telegram (sent by Germany to Mexico) which caused a flow of anti-German sentiments in the United States, and was the trigger for its official entry into war on the side of the allies.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
