Explain how some Americans were involved in the war even before the United States declared war on Germany.

In 1917, Germany, determined to win its war of attrition against the Allies, announced the resumption of unrestricted warfare in war-zone waters. Three days later, the United States broke diplomatic relations with Germany, and just hours after that the American liner Housatonic was sunk by a German U-boat.

When analyzing the american landscape at the time, it can be clear that some women did not support the suffrage movement due to the fact that it would impact their current way of life, leading to fewer protections and safeguarding under the us law, and in their family lives.
