The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that was sunk by a German U-Boat. This was significant because there was 128 Americans passengers who died on that ship. Also on the ship was $700 million dollars worth of weapons and ammo that the U.S. was lending to the British. The loses of Americans life angered the American nation, and the sinking of ammo and weapons angered the government making the nation want to go to war. ]]> 2022-12-20 22:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426190135 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426408639 In the beginning of 1917 Germany sent a encrypted telegram to Mexico which was intercepted by the British and sent to the United States. This letter contained an offer to form a secrete alliance between Germany and Mexico. In return Germany offered to take territory the U.S. had previously taken from Mexico and give it back. This included the states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona which together was 504,292 square miles of land. The U.S. saw this as a threat from Germany which angered them and encouraged them to want to join the war.]]> 2022-12-21 05:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426408639 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426452677 After joining the war in April, WIB was formed to manage the U.S. Economy. The WIB played a major role in organizing the U.S. home front after the soldiers left for war. One of the most helpful things they did was encourage industries to start mass producing weapons and ammunitions for the army and Navy. Since Mass Production of the Army and Navy's necessities began it became very inconvenient for Industry workers to be on strike, so the WIB would approve the increase of wages for jobs during this time so a large portion of American citizens got paid more. At the same times citizens were getting paid more, prices started to go up since other good were not being produced as much since industries were more focused on making weapons and ammunitions.]]> 2022-12-21 06:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426452677 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426468296 The United States Food Administration controlled the production and distribution of food and goods to the Nation. During they were specifically formed during this time to help conserve food and send with the U.S. soldiers heading to war. One of the main steps they took to doing this was making "Meatless Monday" and "wheatless Wednesday" also having a day designated for sweetless. They Food Administration also encouraged families to grow their own food at homes for themselves. These steps helped the Administration ration food so that the soldiers could be feed during their war efforts.]]> 2022-12-21 07:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426468296 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2426510969 The Battle of Cantigny was the United States and France Against Germany in England. This was the first Battle the United States was involved in, in WW1. The United states lost 300 men during this battle while Germany had 250 captured and over 1,000 wounded and killed.

By the end of this war the U.S. was able to push deep into Germany Territory. This ended as the bloodiest battle for the U.S. in WW1 as there was over 120,000 casualties along with over 26,000 deaths. On the other hand the Germans had over 28,00 deaths and it ended in a U.S. victory.

This battle marked the beginning of the end for Germany as it was their last push at winning the war. Even with 12,000 casualties for American soldiers they were able to stop the German push and get this important win. It was after this war that the U.S. and its allies would push Germany back and 100 days later eventually make them surrender to win the war.]]> 2022-12-21 21:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427003646 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427238650 The Treaty of Versailles was signed in Paris at the end of WW1 between the allies and Germany. President Woodrow Wilson had created 14 points to put on the treaty that would help create peace. Only one of his points was put on the treaty because the allies were more concerned about punishing Germany than they were about making peace. The one point that was accepted was the idea of the league of nations which was the idea that nations would talk out their problems instead of going to war about them. President Wilson was not able convince congress to join the league and it ended in a failure along with another world war that the U.S. would again participate in just years later.]]> 2022-12-22 05:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427238650 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427593078 Over a year after the signing of the treaty of Versailles, the U.S. and the allies signed a the treaty of Sevres with the Ottoman Empire. Part of the Treaty was that the Ottoman Empire gave up some of their land to the Allies.

The main goal of the treaties was to break the Ottoman Empire apart and the U.S. and Allies did that.]]> 2022-12-22 17:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427593078 gabriel_mariscal_isleib https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427668929 After the War the U.S. economy needed to make a big transition back to how it was before the war. Factories didn't need to mass produce weapons and ammo for food anymore so they needed to make it back to producing what they did before. Also when soldiers returned for war they were looking for jobs in which the government tried to help get them one through the United States Employment Service. They also worried about World Peace, especially after Congress denied joining the League of Nations, so they must continue to be prepared for an unexpected war. ]]> 2022-12-22 20:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_mariscal_isleib/to8b56eowvsxx4nf/wish/2427668929
