I think this is significant to U.S. history because when President Wilson found out about the sinking of the ship he immediately warned Germany that if this happened without cause then they would cut diplomatic ties with them and enter the war. If this event didn't occur then the U.S. wouldn't have an suspicions with German Allies. Because they did he started thinking about the U.S. entering the war but wasn't fully on board with it. ]]> 2022-12-21 04:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426373984 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426889359 The food rationing in 1918 had a big impact on the U.S because citizens had to go meatless,wheatless, and sweetless on certain days so that food can be saved to feed personnel in the military. "Meatless Tuesdays" and "Wheatless Wednesdays" were created to modify everyone's eating habits. The impact of the rationing in ww1 was some of the food was discounted. This could be helping U.S. citizens out.]]> 2022-12-21 17:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426889359 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426904604 I think the Espionage Act prevented troops from talking negative about the war. This had an impact on the U.S. because it created propaganda later on for future soldiers so that they can join the war. ]]> 2022-12-21 18:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426904604 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426922923 The Zimmerman Telegram was the final straw which caused the U.S. to enter WW1. This was very important to the U.S. because the telegram made them feel betrayed by Mexico. It was important that the U.S. joined European Allies so that they can have another source since they split ways from Germany.]]> 2022-12-21 18:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426922923 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426952103 The U.S. Congress proceeded to go along with the Selective Service Act that allowed President Wilson to recruit soldiers. The Allies miserably needed new troops to appease their drained men from the field. This was a positive thing for warfare because the U.S can collect soldiers when wanted, but they were using propaganda to excite them to join not knowing that the battlefield is completely different from what they're imagining. ]]> 2022-12-21 19:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2426952103 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427186952 The battle on the Cantigny village was the United States first major success. This event had a massive impact on the war effort in the Spring of 1918. America proved that they weren't to be played with when they tricked the Germans of an monitoring point for their troops on the Western Front.]]> 2022-12-22 04:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427186952 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427250196 The Smithsonian's staff set up a Red Cross Auxxiliary to help Europe fight the war. They launched campaigns to raise funds for ambulances, clothing, and supplies for the Red Cross chapter in Washington, DC. In addition to raising money, they sent soldiers to Europe to educate Europeans about the war. The efforts of the Red Cross Auxiliary continued after the war and provided foreign alliances. Their presence provided care, support, and assure to guide Americans and foreign allies through the war with the assistance of the Red Cross Auxiliary]]> 2022-12-22 06:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427250196 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427642872 The Treaty of Versailles was signed by Italy, the United States, Great Britain, and France. The settlement finished The Second Great War and presented the Class of Countries, in which the U.S. Senate dismissed on account of illegal reasons. The Senate safeguarded the United States from other powers that might democratically impose a threat by rejecting the Treaty of Versailles. The Senate anticipated that the act of declaring war might have been unnecessary and dangerous for the United States because they were concerned about their constitutional rights to do so.]]> 2022-12-22 19:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427642872 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427664033 The American Federation of Labor's strike against the United States Steel Corporation was represented by the Great Steel Strike. Because of the constant demand for steel, many steel workers had to work long hours for low wages. To add on, expansion after the conflict made it significantly more hard for laborers to extend their compensation to cover their families fundamental requirements. During this time, a lot of workers refused to work, buy, or sell steel in an effort to get their employers to raise wages and improve working conditions. Low wages and high costs brought about a violent uprising among workers and businesses by postwar inflation.]]> 2022-12-22 20:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427664033 alysha_taylor1 https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427666269 The economic situation of the United States of America posed a dilemma following the war. Previously, producers fabricated huge inventories of weaponary and fighting, yet with the conflict over, the public authority and other
countries were not requesting of such supplies. In addition, farmers were constantly producing additional goods, but the general public was unable to consume the majority of the war. However, once the war was over, neither the government nor other nations demanded such supplies. In addition, farmers were constantly producing more goods, but the majority of them could not be consumed by the general public. The war's economic boom in the United States was over. As a result of their victory, many American citizens were forced to gradually lose their jobs as a result of numerous businesses closing due to overproduction of goods.]]> 2022-12-22 20:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alysha_taylor1/c3ifm1j0z0z2obz5/wish/2427666269
