A) How did the new technology change the way the war was fought?

- New technology changed the way World War I was fought because it was pretty much an industrialized war. They use weapons that had never been tried before, for example Germany was the first nation to effectively use submarines in naval warfare and they also introduced poison gas as a weapon against infantry. Machine guns and long-range artillery were also introduced, and with such strong gun power they killed great numbers of people. Airplanes and tanks also greatly affected the war introducing new ways of fighting. The types of soldiers fighting also changed.

B) What principles were proclaimed by the United States for declaring war?

- The principles proclaimed by the United States for declaring war were the U-boats sinking ships that were carrying food and arms the the British. President Woodrow Wilson decided to step in and defend his country. Arthur Zimmermann’s secret telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico proposing an alliance between Germany and Mexicans also sparked great controversy. President Wilson addressed Congress, saying that ‘the world must be made safe for democracy.’ On April 6, 1917, Congress voted to declare war on Germany.
