The End is Near

America – Isolationist No More Although America did not declare war on Germany until 1917, she had been involved in the war from the beginning supplying the allies with weapons and supplies. On May 2nd 1915 the British passenger liner Lusitania was sunk by a torpedo from a German submarine passengers, including 128 Americans, lost their lives. Americans were outraged and put pressure on the government to enter the war. Woodrow Wilson (president) campaigned for a peaceful end to the war. He appealed to both sides to try to settle the war by diplomatic means but was unsuccessful.

USA Declares War In February 1917, the Germans announced an unrestricted submarine warfare campaign. They planned to sink any ship that approached Britain whether it was a military ship, supply ship or passenger ship. On April 3rd 1917, Wilson made a speech declaring that America would enter the war and restore peace to Europe. The United States declared war on Germany on April 6th By 1918 five million Americans enlisted and they joined the French and British at the front that summer. They were fresh and not war-weary and were invaluable in defeating the Germans.

Germany Loses Hope By 1918 there were strikes and demonstrations in Berlin and other cities protesting about the effects of the war on the population. The British naval blockade of German ports meant that thousands of people were starving. Socialists were waiting for the chance to seize Germany as they had in Russia. In October 1918 German Commander Ludendorff resigned and the German navy mutinied. Thousands of German soldiers were surrendering at the front. The end was near. Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated on November 9th 1918.

The Armistice to End it All On 11th November the leaders of both sides held a meeting in Ferdinand Foch's railway carriage headquarters at Compiegne. The Armistice was signed at 6am and came into force five hours later.

WWI Casualties Terrible death & destruction: – million soldiers were sent to fight; 8.5 million died; 21 million wounded; 7.75 million missing in action – Casualty Rates—Russia (76%), France (73%), Germany (65%), Austria- Hungary (90%) – War destroyed towns, farm land, & buildings
