In this sentence "By this event, millions of Americans knew..."
I am told it should read "From this event". What is wrong with "by"? Why does it have to be "from" instead?

"By this event" doesn't sound like the event caused it, it sounds like millions of Americans knew by the time the event happened.
>>
>>18180269
Did the event cause it or was it something with a common cause
>>
>>18180291
An event happened and because of it "millions of Americans knew"
>>
>>18180269
"By this event" is not proper english.
"As a result of this event" would be more appropriate.

This
"By" sounds like the knowledge acquisition by americans happened in the same time of the event
"From" stabilishes the event as a cause for the learning
