Objective 8.02 Identify political and military turning points of the war and determine their significance to the outcome of the conflict.

America mobilizes for war The Selective Service Act (passed in May 1917) helped the gov’t meet the need for more fighting power Required men to register with the gov’t in order to be randomly selected for military service By 1918, 24 million registered – almost 3 million called up

Who served? Many African-Americans served in segregated units Women given rank in navy and marines but not army

Mobilizing for war US had to find a way to transport men, food, and equipment across the ocean Many shipyard workers exempt from draft or given “deferred” status

America changes the war Americans convinced Allies to try the convoy system Heavy guard of destroyers escorted merchant ships across the Atlantic Shipping losses were cut in half

Americans bring enthusiasm and energy to war War had bogged down Soldiers became weary of “trench warfare” and fighting across “no man’s land”

American Expeditionary Force (AEF) U.S. forces in Europe in World War I. Led by John J. Pershing (“Black Jack”)

“Doughboys” Nickname given to members of the AEF (named this because of white belts) Most were small town boys who had never been far from home

New weapons to fight a new kind of war Machine guns Airplanes Zeppelin Poison Gas Tanks

Mustard Gas Deadly gas used during World War I Named for its yellowish color and mustard like smell Causes blistering on exposed skin and respiratory system. Gas Masks? Many soldiers exposed to mustard gas never fully recovered “Psychological warfare.”

Armistice November 3, 1918 – Austria-Hungary surrendered to Allies Same day German soldiers mutinied against gov’t authority Germany was exhausted and agreed to a cease-fire (truce) – war ended 11-11-1918 (11:00) –
