The US joined the war in 1917. There was an attempt of isolation from the US but that didn't work out for them in the long run. The Germans had it out for America and began to target them now. They first started with sinking American vessels and war ships. US got even more mad Because of the Zimmerman note. This was a note from Germany that was supposed to go to Mexico, but it was intercepted by the US. The not was talking about how the Germans want to attack the US. This of course didn't help anything and it continued the US and Germany feud.

Operation AI was the name for the famous bombing of Pearl Harbor. Japan secretly sent a naval force to attack, all while Japan and The United States were negotiating peace. This attack destroyed 20 American naval units and killed 2400 Americans. President Franklin D. Rosevelt called this day "A date which will live in infamy".

When wanting to become a republic, the new French gov feared European monarchies and declared war on Austria and Prussia. This led to the French Revolution, and people volunteered in masses, causing there to be many people in the French army. Radicals then take control of the national assembly and the national convention. The national convention declared french as a republic, so then Louis and Marie were killed at the guillotine.

The Western front war was between Germany, British, and French. The Germans were against everyone so this made it kinda easy for the British and French to form allies with different countries. This war had extreme amount of casualties. The casualties were unexpected, but caused because of the lack of organization and powerful armies on all ends. The total death told was over 4 million which is extremely tragic. This war was eventually resolved but still a great tragedy because so many people died.
