Combatants in World War I quickly began to use total war tactics Governments committed all their nation’s resources and took over industry to win the war

New, industrial weapons were introduced on the battlefield such as machine guns, airplanes, blimps... …heavy artillery, tanks, poison gas, flame throwers, submarines These weapons led to unprecedented deaths and casualties

Trench warfare made it difficult for either side to gain an advantage To protect soldiers from enemy fire, both the Allies and Central Powers built trenches Trench warfare made it difficult for either side to gain an advantage

Fighting on the Western Front slowed to a stalemate as neither side could gain an advantage 2 million soldiers were killed or wounded during the battles of Verdun and Somme German u-boats patrolled the Atlantic Ocean attacking Allied cargo ships

Millions of Russian soldiers and civilians died in the war On the Eastern Front, the Russian army was struggling to hold on against the German military Russian women training for combat Russia was struggling to produce enough weapons or food to support the war effort Millions of Russian soldiers and civilians died in the war By 1917, Russia was on the brink of collapse

In Nov 1917, Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government and established the Soviet Union, the first communist nation

The USA remained neutral in World War I from 1914 to 1917… Due to German violations of free trade, the USA declared war in April 1917

The army had only 200,000 soldiers and needed a larger military After America’s declaration of war in 1917, the U.S. had to mobilize before it could fight in Europe The army had only 200,000 soldiers and needed a larger military The military needed massive supplies of armaments President Wilson and Congress created 5,000 bureaucratic agencies to manage and win the war

The American Expeditionary Force was led by John Pershing as an independent American military Congress passed the Selective Service Act to draft men between the ages of 18 and 45 into the army

The War Industries Board (WIB) was created to oversee the production of military supplies The WIB encouraged mass-production of war equipment and set production quotas

The Food Administration was created to ration food and encourage Americans to grow “victory gardens” The Fuel Administration was created to ration coal and oil and to encourage “lightless nights”

The Committee on Public Information (CPI) was created to make propaganda to support the war effort

The first U.S. troops were sent to Europe in 1918 To combat German u-boats, the USA used a convey system to deliver soldiers and supplies to Europe 15

U.S. soldiers saw their first action in May 1918 outside Paris, helped resist a German offensive, and participated in a counter-attack into Germany via convoy in June 1917 but did not see action until early 1918

Throughout 1918, the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) fought with Allied forces to turn the tide of the war via convoy in June 1917 but did not see action until early 1918

via convoy in June 1917 but did not see action until early 1918

By October 1918, Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire surrendered On November 11, 1918 Germany signed an armistice with the Allies and World War I came to an end

America fought for only 8 months (not 4 years) and had 7% casualties (not 52% like most Allied Powers)
