World War I SS5H4a The student will describe U.S. involvement in World War I and post World War I America. Explain how German attacks on U.S. shipping during the war in Europe(1914-1917) ultimately led the U.S. to join the fight against Germany; include the sinking of the Lusitania and concerns over safety of U.S. ships, U.S. contributions to the war, and the impact of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. SS5G2 The student will explain the reasons for the spatial patterns of economic activities.

Build on What You Know When your friend has a problem, you probably try to help solve it. In the same way, the nations of Europe tried to help their friends during WWI.

Vocabulary Alliances- countries agree to help each other if one of them is attacked. Isolationist- when countries believe they should not get involved in each other’s problems. U-Boats- ships that sailed under water. (submarines) Rations- setting limits on the amount of goods people could have. Propaganda- information that is used to shape people’s thinking. Armistice- an agreement to end fighting between two sides. Civilians-people who are not soldiers. Trench warfare- a form of war where each side dug trenches and fought from them. Ratified-approved

Europe Goes to War During the early years of the twentieth century, many European nations formed alliances. In 1914, Archduke Ferdinand was heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary. While Archduke was visiting Bosnia, Serbians nationalist (Serbians who wanted Bosnia to be part of Serbia, not Austria-Hungary) assassinated him. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia and threatened war.

Europe Goes to War Russia, Serbia’s ally, promised to defend Serbia if Austria-Hungary attacked. Germany vowed to fight on the side of Austria-Hungary and soon all of Europe was at war. Germany and Austria-Hungary formed an alliance called the Central Powers. Russia, Great Britain, and France became the leaders of an alliance known as the Allied Powers. This conflict eventually involved nations around the world and became known as World War I.

The U.S. Joins the Fighting At first, most U.S. citizens wanted to stay out of the war (isolationist). They believed it was the Europe’s fight, not the U.S.’ President Woodrow Wilson won re-election in 1916 vowing not to get the U.S. involved in the fighting. Over time, a number of things happened that led the U.S. to enter the war.

U-Boats and the Lusitania During WWI Germany used U-boats. U-boats could stay hidden under water as they fired torpedoes that sank ships. German U-boats fired not only on enemy ships but also ships from other countries. Germany believed these ships were carrying goods to help other nations fight Germany.

U-Boats and the Lusitania In May 1915, U-boats sank a passenger ship called the Lusitania. Over 100 U.S. passengers died. People in the U.S. were furious! The U.S. government was secretly using passenger ships to sneak military supplies to Great Britain and its allies. After this more people in the U.S. began to favor war.

The Zimmerman Telegram Germany’s foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, sent a secret telegram to Mexico City. It asked Mexico to attack the U.S. if we ever went to war with Germany. Germany promised to help Mexico win back parts of North America it had lost to the U.S. during the 1800’s. Mexico did not agree with Germany. When the U.S. learned of the offer it caused more U.S. citizens to support the idea of going to war.

America Enters the War After the sinking of the Lusitania, Germany agreed not to attack any more passenger ships. In 1917, Germany broke this promise and attacked U.S. ships. In April 1917, the U.S. declared war on the Central Powers.

New Weapons During WWI Trench warfare-a form of war where each side dug trenches. Machine guns that could shoot hundreds of bullets per minute. Hand grenades which were small bombs. Submarines Tanks Poison Gas Airplanes used to drop bombs WWI was the most destructive war in history at that time.

The War Effort To create more supplies for the soldiers, the government rationed what civilians could have. The government used propaganda posters to shape people’s thinking. During the war millions of workers were needed to make supplies for soldiers. Many men were serving in the military. African Americans worked in factory jobs in the North and earned good wages. Women took jobs that had only been available to men before WWI. In 1920, because of women’s hard work, the 19th amendment was passed which gave them the right to vote.

Treaty of Versailles On November 11, 1918, both sides signed an agreement, called an armistice, to end the fighting. The Treaty of Versailles was signed May 7, 1919 and formally ended the war. The U.S. lost 116,516 soldiers in the war. A total of almost 10 million soldiers died in the war. 21 million were wounded. 5 million civilians, people who are not soldiers, died.

Outcome of World War I Germany had to pay Allied powers back for the costs of the war. It also said that countries should form an organization to try to prevent another war. This organization was called the League of Nations. Even though the League of Nations was the idea of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, the United States never joined.

After World War 1 After the war, European economies were devastated. Property, industries, and infrastructure had been badly damaged. U.S. businesses were not damaged because there was no fighting done in the U.S. The U.S. was producing more goods than ever before, while many other industrialized nations were trying to recover. The U.S. found itself as an economic world power.
