Answer 1

The events in chronological order are: Assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand > U.S. remains neutral > Germany resumes Unrestricted Submarine Warfare > U.S. Declares war on Germany

Step-by-step explanation:

The events can be put in the correct chronological order as follows:

1. The Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand. This event triggered Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, which in turn triggered Russia to declare war on Austria-Hungary.
2. The U.S. remains neutral and stays out of the conflict. At this time, the U.S. did not get involved in the war.
3. Germany resumes Unrestricted Submarine Warfare on the U.S. In 1917, Germany announced that it would engage in unrestricted submarine warfare, which posed a threat to U.S. merchant ships.
4. The U.S. Declares war on Germany and officially enters the war. The sinking of U.S. ships and the Zimmerman Telegram made a powerful argument for a declaration of war. On April 2, 1917, President Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany, and on April 6, the U.S. officially entered the war.
