Thesis America, upon entering the era of World War 1 (or The Great War, as it was known at that time), dealt with several factors that contributed to the advancements and setbacks of the war, including the drafting of soldiers and their enlistment to aid European countries, the problematic struggles and eclectic triumphs of military recruits and personnel, and the new and advanced technology that was used on the battlefield.

Entering the War Allies looked to US for help German U-Boats defeated British ships (Spanish Armada?) United States “altered balance of war.” (Brinkley, 617). Naval assistance not enough- ground troops Bolshevik Revolution, November, 1917

The American Expeditionary Force US- not enough men (120,000 army, 80,000 Nat’l Guard) US- no combat experience Selective Service Act- national draft became known as AEF Women permitted to enlist

African- American Soldiers (Most Impactful) Nearly 400,00 enlisted/drafted segregated units under white commanders (Civil War Southern dispute) learned to live with racism- hoped military would improve social status led to development of IQ tests resulted lower IQs = low access to education

Military Struggle US troops ready for battle- spring 1918- war ended 8 months later AEF joined Allies under Gen. John J. Pershing “Fresh” troops Trench warfare- muddy, wet, cold, lice and rats, stress and discomfort, boredom and fear “... war would be virtually endless.” (Brinkley, 619).

United States Saves the Day Brief experiences compared to Allies Chateau-Thierry and Rheims- aided French in pushing back Germans Halted Germans and developed own offense- 7/18/1918 Pushed Germans to border- Meuse-Argonne offensive cut supplies Germans “surrendered” w/ cease-fire- 11/11/1918

The New Technology of Warfare Trench warfare necessary due to high powered artillery and weapons chemical weapons- poisonous mustard gas mobile weapons- tanks, flamethrowers required maintenance airplanes Navy- hydraulic gun controls, turbine propulsion, advanced navigation Submarines resulted in HIGH casualties

Main Things to Know United States was eager to join had the least casualties- 112,000 Selective Service Act contained voluntary and nonvoluntary soldiers United States saved the day New technology caused trench warfare, caused poor conditions, caused most deaths
