This is also significant since Germany had declared war on the waters in which was surrounding the British as well. This was breaking the agreement and protocols that were set in place which did not fit well with the European allies and Americans. This event had killed 1,195 people including 128 Americans, according to the Library of Congress. This caused the U.S. to take great defense for its people as Germany was taking a direct hit at the U.S. and their allies. This is able to show another side and reality that Americans witnessed before the start of war. ]]> 2022-12-20 19:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426103819 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426111664 The significance of this event is that it signifies another real side of truth and reasoning for why the U.S decided to go to war. It was in regards to exposing the foreign investments that were being made. The U.S. understood the significance that if their allies lost and were unable to pay back money to them that they would eventually lose that money and never get it back. This would severely affect the economy, this is seen through Howard Zinn's claims in regards to how by 1914 private foreign investments to the United States had amounted to $3.5 billion. This significantly shows a part of intention that people with higher power knew about and how that played a role in shaping the war. ]]> 2022-12-20 19:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426111664 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426112799 The significance of this event is that it signifies America's  first great victory in the war. This event was able to significantly boost the confidence of people in America, families, and soldiers in the war, this was due to the fact that many of the soldiers at war were undertrained and underprepared . As well, Americans were able to significantly change the course of war by overtaking one of Germany's important observation points in France. In addition, the US was able to prove to the world they were ready to fight and that the rest of the world must get ready as Americans were determined.  This was a significant starting point of the war. ]]> 2022-12-20 19:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426112799 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426415074 The significance of this event is that it signifies the realities that families on the home-front had to face.

The Food Administration was also affected by helping to send food to allies as well. They helped to create and restore balance to the nation during these troubling times.  ]]> 2022-12-21 05:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426415074 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426418369 The significance of this event is that it signifies the government's help and assistance within the war. The U.S knew that in order to prepare for war the U.S. had to prepare the entire nation, as this was not only a job for the Army but for all. They intended to do so with the help of the War Industries Board. They were able to significantly focus on industrial production, this helped to create more guns, weapons, uniforms, planes, tanks, and ammunition for the Army.  This would significantly help people at War during battle without the WIB the U.S would not have the support that was needed during this time. ]]> 2022-12-21 05:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426418369 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426419613 The significance of this event is that it completely changed the course of history in the war in regards to the financial state of the country. The importance of government war bonds is with the purpose of raising capital to finance the governments’ military expenditures. This would continue to keep the country strong in fighting and having power to use. Much of the government would use propaganda to help spread the awareness and word of the positives of government war bonds.]]> 2022-12-21 05:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426419613 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426426711 The significance of this event is that it signifies the realities that the U.S. had to undergo in order to get troops and people to fight in the war. This was extremely important as it would help the army find suitable young men who were strong enough to face the struggles of war.

This would significantly help with all the battles and encounters that would be fought throughout the rest of the war. ]]> 2022-12-21 06:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426426711 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426428377 The significance of this event is that it signifies the irony that is associated with the fact that Wilson had proposed the idea of the League of Nations and the U.S. had ended up not becoming a part of it. This showed the support that was within the U.S. after the war. It showed that people were exhausted of being in war and were unsure towards supporting the League of Nations. It even went to the point where people would protest and have committees against signing to the League of Nations. As well, it shows the role that the government had in making decisions. ]]> 2022-12-21 06:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426428377 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426431465 The significance of this event is that it signifies the U.S creating it's own path for the government and it's allies. This was achievable by signing individual agreements with each nation it had battle encounters with in the war. This helped to also benefit the U.S significantly in way such as having control over aspects of the conditions that they would have to under go, this benefiting the U.S. like being able to sign with Germany with the same benefits of the Treaty of Versailles yet without the including involvement with the League of Nations. This was able to significantly help save partnerships and relations with the U.S. and the rest of the world, this would continue to help and aid the U.S. ]]> 2022-12-21 06:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426431465 laurentrinity_uy https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426439660 The significance of this event is that it signifies the effect that the war had on women after all the work and contributions that they had provided to war. These women were working hard during the war doing things such as manufacturing, work on the home front, and front lines for injured war members. These were new rights that women were given and after war people took them away from them. This made women want to fight for this rights, and this significantly changed the course of history. ]]> 2022-12-21 06:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/laurentrinity_uy/hk2aodo6jujyoxpp/wish/2426439660
