The Germans wanted to make amends with Mexico to take back that land. This is significant because if this went into effect, the US would not be prepared for this. This would have weakened the US even before joining the war.]]> 2022-12-20 20:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426140363 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426141254 As the US avoided the war, they did aid the allies in fighting the war. The allies were having a difficult time fighting the axis powers, especially Germany, even when having the aid of the US. This is significant to the US because if the Allies lost the war, a lot of money would be lost from the US. This can hinder the economy negatively and became of the causes for the US to join the war.]]> 2022-12-20 20:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426141254 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426148801 US finally declares war on Germany, joining the Allies in their darkest era of the war. The US took this decision into a lot of consideration. What made this significant was that Wilson was expected to keep the US away from the war. He then requested for congress to give him the green light into declaring war.]]> 2022-12-20 20:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426148801 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426967238 Drafting was very common during the war as Congress passed the Selective Service Act. While the selective service act was passed, it was not common to be selected. This was significant because recruitment stations were still active at the time. This also was actively used for young adults for the second World War.]]> 2022-12-21 20:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426967238 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426967871 The War Industries Board was used for the economy of the US. This was significant because this changed all daily industries into becoming war products. This would stop all products like Ford's car production into tank production. With this, the economy of the US was organized properly during the war.]]> 2022-12-21 20:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426967871 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426971295 The US was basically powered by its citizens as they would buy war bonds. These war bonds would be returned in a couple of years. This was significant because this became the new taxation for military. Modern tax was built on these war bonds]]> 2022-12-21 20:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2426971295 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427864799 As one of the most historic battles during the US's involvement in World War 1, this became the last battle of the war. Meuse-Argonne started in September to November of 1918. What made this significant to the US was that over a million soldiers took part in this war and only under 30k died. This was the ultimate end to the war.]]> 2022-12-23 05:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427864799 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427865523 After the war, soldiers had a problem trying to adapt to the evolution of American culture. There was new music, art and all sorts of movies. This was important to US's involvement in the war because society would use this new kind of entertainment through propaganda against countries. Movies would also be used as propaganda.]]> 2022-12-23 06:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427865523 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427866176 As the allies ended the war, Germany wanted to continue fighting. This was significant because Wilson wanted to propose a more peaceful compromise with the 14 points. The other nations wanted to harshly punish Germany and decline his points. This is where Wilson's 14th point was passed.]]> 2022-12-23 06:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427866176 matthew_hosmillo https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427866551 The League of Nations was important because the US did not even join the League of Nations. This was Wilson's main plan but did not even care to take part in this. This basically made the League of Nation useless. The League of Nations would ultimately lead to World War 2 and end the League of Nations.]]> 2022-12-23 06:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/matthew_hosmillo/mh4dfcm4qgojgx99/wish/2427866551
