The effects of WW1 on America were wide-ranging covering the political, economic and social impact the Great War had on the United States. The Allies included Britain, France, Russia, Italy and the United States. These countries fought against the Central Powers which included Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. American Battles in WW1 Fact 5: Aisne-Marne Campaign (27 May - 5 June 1918) and the Battle of Chateau-Thierry on Jun 3, 1918. The Americans attacked the Germans at Chateau-Thierry, a battle that extended into the larger Battle of Belleau Wood.  116,516 deaths and approximately 320,000 sick and wounded of the 4.7 million men who served. ]]> 2018-04-16 01:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251968334 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251977931 Before the war the population was 99,111,000 and after the war the population increased to 103,206,000.]]> 2018-04-16 03:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251977931 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251978524 Washington D.C]]> 2018-04-16 03:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251978524 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251979418 2018-04-16 03:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251979418 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251979496 U.S.A. is bordered by the north of both the worlds biggest ocean the Pacific and Atlantic and is also bordered by Canada and Mexico. USA is the third largest country in the world by area. The eastern regions consist of hills and low mountains while the central interior are vast plains and the west has high rugged mountain ranges (some of which are volcanic in the Pacific Northwest). ]]> 2018-04-16 03:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251979496 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251985556 The climactic political battle in the United States during World War I involved President Wilson’s battle to attain Senate ratification of the Versailles treaty. The controversy over the treaty was highly partisan, with all but one Republican opposed to unreserved ratification. Sixteen senators opposed the treaty completely. Some of these “irreconcilables,” saw the terms of the treaty imposed upon Germany as an expression of Allied imperialism and the league of nations as a victor’s alliance designed to protect the spoils of conquest. Others, including some irreconcilables, had little trouble with the peace terms for Germany but objected to the League of Nations.
Woodrow Wilson felt very confident and was ready to present his 14 points to the other powers that was involved in the treaty. He was hoping that his pacifist view would influence the treaty of Versailles to end with peace. The country of USA was very proud of what Wilson had prepared. But when the 14 points were cast aside by the other powers, due to their anger towards Germany, and their need to seek revenge, Woodrow Wilson fell into a state of depression. The League of Nations was Wilson's brainchild, what he eventually decided to focus on creating at the Paris peace conference ]]> 2018-04-16 04:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251985556 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251987518 Political isolation, however appropriate during the 19th century, no longer served the national interest, and the country was pulled into foreign entanglements unthinkable just a few years earlier. During the period of American neutrality (1914-1917), attitudes toward international affairs born in the wake of the Spanish-American War blossomed. As its global interests expanded, United States found itself in conflict with another rising power—Germany. In a Declaration of Neutrality to Congress shortly after the start of the First World War, The President Woodrow Wilson warned that if the nation’s ethnic minorities became active partisans of their countries of origin, the consequences would, “be fatal to our peace of mind and might seriously stand in the way of the proper performance of our duty as the one great nation of peace.”
The nation of immigrants divided along ethnic and national lines as soon as war was declared in Europe. ]]> 2018-04-16 04:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251987518 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251987973 Women have long been involved in the military during times of war, though not always in a capacity that we might recognize as “traditionally” military.  For centuries women have followed armies, many of them soldiers’ wives, providing indispensable services such as cooking, nursing, and laundry—in fact, “armies could not have functioned as well, perhaps could not have functioned at all, without the service of women.”

Refers to the generation of writers, artists, musicians and intellectuals that came of age during the first world war. 
The US never signed the Treaty of Versailles. They also never officially joined the League of Nations due to isolationist opposition even though the US originated the idea. It was due to USA's isolationist view before the war.
Also there was a massive divide between black and white, and also men and women.
When the war ended the world felt that America was a strong world power and that when it came to fighting they were not to be messed with. They were a sleeping beast that was awoken by the Germans.

He was voted to for his pacifist world views, and he was well received for his willingness to keep the U.S. out of the first world war. But with the constant pestering of the Germany he was forced to declare war against them in 1917. When the war ended he formulated the Wilson 14 points. It instituted principles of self-determination and justice at the basis of armistice. He also influenced the creation of the international League of Nations, which is a big stepping stone for the creation of the United Nation.

Uncle Sam is a very popular propaganda and is still popular now. The propaganda is suppose to influence the American population to enlist for the war. The image of Uncle Sam pointing at the you and saying, "I WANT YOU," created by James Montgomery Flagg, dates from 1916 and was subsequently used throughout the rest of World War I, and re-purposed for World War II.  In the end propaganda was a great tool to get everyone included in Total War. ]]> 2018-04-16 05:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251997165 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/251998916 Since USA's main interest is to get back at Germany.

The League of Nations was to act as an international cooperation meant to prevent another war or to resolve international conflicts that would emerge. Germany and Russia were not allowed to join the League of Nations. U.S. the leading world power at the time did not join. In conclusion the League of Nations had no power at all.

Men and Boys wanted to fight not only for their freedom, but also for the rest of the country. For the children, elderly and the women. They were used for propaganda to make men feel obliged to protect their own and those who they loved, also for those who could not protect themselves. Captains went to schools to recruit upper class men and appointed them as captains. These boys had no idea on how to be a captain. People felt patriotic to their country because of the propaganda that was used.
People who were not patriotic were shot by the captain in front of all the soldiers and were used as an example of what happened to people who weren't loyal to their country. ]]> 2018-04-16 06:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/252002481 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/252009084 Americans celebrate Veterans Day, also on Nov. 11, to show appreciation for all living military officials who service their country.

A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
3. Restoration of French territory.
All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.]]> 2018-04-16 07:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/252015435 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/252019335 With open borders and maritime trade, US would greatly benefit and could possibly increase its GDP.

The war was not solely won by the soldiers fighting endlessly in the trenches only over a couple of miles, but also by the efforts made by those back at home. Since many men were sent off to fight and often face their deaths, there was plenty of absence in the factories that they had worked in. Women and African Americans were needed to fill these positions. In order to support their families’ women needed jobs so they flooded the workforce and were eager to work wherever they were needed. Factories had to produce a certain amount of bombs, ammunition, or whatever they were providing due to government regulations. Women were paid half of what men were paid and had to work long, demanding hours. Not to mention the risks of most of factories made them unhealthy and quite dangerous. When filling shells with explosives women were dealing with acid fumes and other chemicals that often damaged their lungs. Occasionally, the shells would even explode and kill workers. Another occupation many women chose was nursing, and many of them went into the war zone to aid wounded soldiers. Most of the medical training was basic.]]> 2018-04-16 07:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/252026165 raymartd12 https://padlet.com/raymartd12/uy2bsaxq6kvq/wish/252027056 The government wanted to get across was buy U.S. government bonds.
