Question

One of the aims of the United States during World War I was

A)
the defeat of Japan.
B)
freedom of the seas.
C)
the collection of reparations.
D)
the division of Germany into two countries.

Answer 1

Answer: B) freedom of the seas.

Explanation: Freedom of the seas was one of the "14 Points" proposed by the United States. This was inspired by Germany's practice of sinking passenger and merchant ships in the years preceding World War I.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) Freedom of the Seas.

This is evident based on America's experience before entering World War I. Before entering this war, over 100 Americans were killed by a German submarine that attacked the British ship called the Lusitania.
Along with that, the Germans would go on to use unrestricted submarine warfare several more times before the US officially entered World War I. At the end of the war, Wilson even addressed this idea in his 14 Points. Wilson's 14 Points were his ideas on how the world should look after World War I was over.
