     The United States declared war on Germany on April 2, 1917. In our declaration we were concerned with governmental issues, rights of the people, and the nation as a whole. This was generally a peaceful declaration, with no aggressive or violent actions stated to be taken. The German response, however, included several aggressive war terms. Tacticts such as unrestricted submarine warfare, blockades and foreign policies were mentioned as a resoponse to our declaration.
