Modesty was emphasized with day dresses covering the body from the neck to the floor and long sleeves covering the arms. Skirts were bell-shaped and lace was a popular decoration

Industrialization brought as many changes to America as urbanization did. As technology got better, factories spread across the nation unevenly, mostly concentrated in urban areas, so Americans began to migrate from the countryside to the city. 1/6 of the American population lived in urban areas. In just 40 years, the urban population increased four times, while the rural population doubled.
There was a negative side to this change, as overcrowding, disease and crime plagued many urban communities, pollution and sewage plagued the new metropolitan centres and corruption in local leadership often blocked needed improvements.

The turn of the 20th century was an age of reform. The Populists had tried to effect change by capturing the government. The Progressives would succeed where the Populists had failed. The official progressive party was established in 1912. It was more of a movement than a political party. The main three progressive presidents were: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. Progressives believed that people and government had the power to correct abuses produced by nature and the free market. Every aspect of society was touched by progressive reform.
In the First World War progressivism went into decline.

Pressures to reform education appeared with the lead of urbanization in post-war America. Increased worker productivity and labour demands for a shorter work day enabled many urban residents to engage in newly popular sports and leisure activities unknown in the countryside. Gender roles were also redefined and the size of an American family went from 7 children to 4. Women had more access to new jobs in the city, with the slow arise of women education and independence. Prohibiting alcohol, regulating child labour and having the right to vote were demanded by women. American city life became American culture.

The US didn’t contribute to the battlefield, but they mobilized their economy entirely to produce extra food and massive propaganda campaigns in favour of the Allies.

When WWI started, the US didn’t know whether to get involved or to remain neutral because, as the US is a nation of immigrants, it wasn’t easy to pick a side. The United States were tied to Britain but there were many US citizens who claimed Germany and Austria-Hungary as their parent lands. So, the support of either the ALLIES or the CENTRAL POWERS might prove divisive.
