1. The sinking of the Lusitania occurred in 1915, early in the U.S.'s path to WWI involvement.
2. President Wilson ran for re-election in 1916 on an isolationist platform ("he kept us out of war").
3. The Zimmerman Telegram was revealed in 1917, pushing the U.S. closer to war.
4. The Selective Service Act was passed in 1917 after the U.S. entered the war to draft troops.
5. The Battle of Chateau-Thierry took place in 1918, a major U.S. battle in WWI.
6. The Paris Peace Conference happened in 1919, after the war ended, to negotiate peace terms.
