9. Causes of World War I Great Britain, France, and Russia (the Allies) joined against Germany and the Austrian Empire (the Central Powers). The United States preferred to remain neutral, but effective shipping blockades by Great Britain violated U.S. trade rights. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, of Augusta, attempted to be a peacemaker as long as possible. As a boy, Wilson had seen the horrors of war as wounded Confederate soldiers were brought to Augusta. 9

10. The United States Enters the War The war resulted in millions of deaths, but until 1917 the U.S. stayed out of the conflict. In March 1917, German U-Boats sank several American ships and the U.S. also learned that Germany tried to recruit Mexico to its side. President Wilson delivered to Congress a telegram intercepted from the German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann. On April 4, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany, despite continued opposition by many Americans. Wilson told Congress he hoped it would be a “war to end all wars.” 10

Drought – A time period with little or no rainfall. A major drought hit Georgia in 1924. Many of Georgia’s farms were affected/ Many people had began to invest in the Stock Market. “Speculation” in the stock market was when a person would pay only a portion of the price of a stock hoping that the value will go up. “Black Tuesday” – October 29, 1929: Stock market prices fall greatly; millions of people loose all their wealth

15. The Great Depression One cause of the Great Depression was that Americans borrowed more money than they could repay. This hurt banks which led to people not getting paid and being laid off. Herbert Hoover was President at this time and blamed for the great depression. Over speculations in the stock market also added to the crash Over production on farms added to the loss Georgia did not feel the impact of the Great Depression because the state was already in a depression from the boll weevil and drought.
