Explanation:

The case of Obergefell v. Hodges is a Supreme Court case in which the issue of same-sex marriages was settled regarding the states' mandate to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The case was first heard in 2015 and involved 4 states, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee who had previously banned the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses.

At stake were a total of 6 cases (3 from Ohio) where the states had refused to issue marriage licenses because the couples were of the same biological sex. Thirty-six other states already issued same-sex marriage licenses. Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Tennessee were holding out. The district courts for these states had affirmed their cases, but the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals had reversed their decisions. The states then appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.

There were two main issues the Supreme Court would consider: 1) Does the 14th Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex, and 2) does the 14th Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex if the marriage was lawfully licensed out of state? The majority opinion of the Supreme Court was that same-sex marriage bans are a violation of the 14th Amendment. They stressed that the Constitution promises liberty for all and does not offer any exceptions.

The effects of this decision was profound. Because same-sex marriages are now allowed, couples can seek out insurance policies, receive benefits and other things normally reserved only for married couples.

explanation:

the american entry into world war i came in april 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by president woodrow wilson to keep the united states out of the war.

apart from an anglophile element urging early support for the british, american public opinion reflected that of the president: the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among irish americans, german americans, and scandinavian americans, as well as among church leaders and among women in general. on the other hand, even before world war i had broken out, american opinion had been more negative toward germany than toward any other country in europe. over time, especially after reports of atrocities in belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner rms lusitania in 1915, american citizens increasingly came to see germany as the aggressor in europe.

wilson, as president, made virtually all the key decisions over foreign policy. while the country was at peace american banks made huge loans to britain and france, which were used mainly to buy munitions, raw materials, and food from across the atlantic. until 1917, wilson made minimal preparations for a land war and kept the united states army on a small peacetime footing, despite increasing demands for enhanced preparedness. he did, however, expand the united states navy.

in 1917, with russia experiencing political upheaval, and with britain and france low on credit, germany appeared to have the upper hand in europe, while the ottoman empire, germany's ally, held on to its territory in modern-day iraq, syria and israel. at this point germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. its goal was to starve britain into surrender, although it realized that this would almost certainly bring the united states into the war. germany also made a secret offer to mexico regain territories lost in the mexican–american war in an encoded telegram known as the zimmerman telegram, which was intercepted by british intelligence. publication of that communique outraged americans just as german u-boats started sinking american merchant ships in the north atlantic. wilson then asked congress for "a war to end all wars" that would "make the world safe for democracy", and congress voted to declare war on germany on april 6, 1917.

on december 7, 1917, the u.s. declared war on austria-hungary.

u.s. troops began arriving on the western front in large numbers in 1918.
