This tragedy sparked the United States to join the war and side with the Allied Powers against the Central Powers. ]]> 2020-05-27 23:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/598064172 cfitzpatrick22 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/603616451 I choose when the U.S. entered the war. This image depicts when Woodrow Wilson entered our country into World War l after we had some of our ships sunken. ]]> 2020-05-31 19:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/603616451 lpetit7 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/607685530 I picked this political cartoon to represent the U.S. being dragged into WW1. They were pressured by many countries, mainly European, to join their efforts in WW1.]]> 2020-06-02 20:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/607685530 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/610971632 I picked this cartoon to ]]> 2020-06-04 13:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/610971632 lkenol https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/613509734 I chose this political cartoon to show that the United States joined the war to help out the countries in the Allied Powers. The U.S. helped out these countries by providing them with supplies by using American ships.]]> 2020-06-05 18:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/613509734 hguevremont https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/613679965 I picked this cartoon because it shows the difficulties of nationalism. In this, the person holding the flag believes his country has the power, but the person behind him believes his country has more power, and they'll overpower the other countries. ]]> 2020-06-05 20:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/613679965 nurbanek https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/613854552 I picked this cartoon because I think it shows alliances between the US and Belgium/France. He connected the US, England, and Italy together]]> 2020-06-06 01:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/613854552 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/615796501 I chose this cartoon because it shows others how wars start. Serbia is the smallest guy and Austria is behind him trying to fight. Some countries  stuck up for Serbia and some got mad for being against Austria. This caused controversy. ]]> 2020-06-07 22:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/615796501 sthompson143 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/617037005 I chose this cartoon because it depicts nationalism within the United States. The US is supposed to be the land of the free, but the leaders didn't want to tarnish that image as they partook in the war. ]]> 2020-06-08 14:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/617037005 platendresse https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/617054083 I chose this cartoon because at this point it was not really fair for Americans. This was because no matter who you were you could either work or you had to fight in the war and the American leaders did not care who you were. There also could have been injured from past jobs and people not mentally ready for war so my picture visualizes what the American leaders were doing.]]> 2020-06-08 14:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/617054083 stu33 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/617344122 I chose this cartoon as it is a depiction of militarism, which was one of the main causes of WWI. Germany's unrestrained use of naval forces lead to the involvement of the U.S. after too many U.S. ships were destroyed after coming in contact with German submarines. In response to show the strength of the U.S. military, the America soon joined the war.]]> 2020-06-08 17:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/617344122 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/618915801 2020-06-09 14:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/618915801 swells78 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619033907 I chose this cartoon because it shows how nationalism drove the U.S. to join World war 1. It also shows that America joined the war because of nationalism and other factors.]]> 2020-06-09 15:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619033907 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619384550 I chose this cartoon because I think it depicts imperialism which was a big factoring reason that we had World War 1.]]> 2020-06-09 18:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619384550 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619835056 I chose this because it was one of the main reasons USA joined the war. The Zimmermann Telegram. It was a coded message from Germany to Mexico promising funding if Mexico surprise invaded USA and that they would gain their lost Southwest territories but Mexico was in a civil war, Germany was being brutally blockaded and also USA could fully dismantle Mexico in months. This plan was discovered by the British over the Atlantic and they sent it to USA . Also the leader of Mexico obviously declined this offer]]> 2020-06-10 01:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619835056 easselin1 https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619900492 I chose this cartoon because I feel it accurately depicts the way that the U.S. was handling the war. there is a reason why this was called the forgotten generation. Yes, we joined as an attempt to help but the way they were handling this was horrific. so many young men died because they didn't "study" hard enough. the war was gruesome and bloody. ]]> 2020-06-10 03:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vkraus/gwjy9onyu70xo3in/wish/619900492
