Where was it fought?

Why did it take so long for America to get involved in the war? Woodrow Wilson and America was isolationist:  leaders who asserted that their nations' best interests were best served by keeping the affairs of other countries at a distance. “Why should I get involved in someone else’s problems”

What did it take to get the US involved? Lusitania torpedoed, sinking with 1200 passengers and crew (including 128 Americans) German Propaganda Justifying Lusitania sinking

What did it take to get the US involved? Zimmerman Note US intercepted a note from Germany to Mexico, It promised Mexico would get Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona back in return for an alliance

What did it take to get the US involved? Zimmerman Note plus the sinking of four unarmed American ships led to a declaration of war

Georgia’s Contributions to World War I 100,000 Georgians took part in war effort. Georgia provided more military training camps than any other state: Camp Benning, Fort McPherson, and Camp Gordon 3,000 young Georgians died in an effort to “make the world safe for democracy.” Citizens grew victory gardens to help supply troops.

WWI Propaganda: What’s the message?

Other ways Georgia contributed to the war effort. Textile mills made fabric for military uniforms. Railroads carried arms, ammunition, and soldiers to ports. Farmers grew more food crops, tobacco, and livestock. Victory Gardens Women volunteered for the Red Cross, to welcome soldiers, knit, and help sell bonds.

May 21st 1917 Fire broke out in the city of Atlanta burning more than 71 blocks destroying1,900 houses and 1,553 buildings. 6,000 – 10,000 people were left homeless.

The End of the War The Great World War ended on November 11th, 1918 with the signing of an armistice (a cease fire). Treaty of Versailles: Signed on June 28, 1919 by Germany and Britain, France, Italy and Russia. The United States did not signed because they did not agree with rigid restrictions put on Germany for being the aggressor of war.
