The American Experience Video Notes & Questions

Today, we will be doing a gallery walk activity where you will be walking around the room and looking at a number of images. At each station, you will need to do some research into what the picture is, what country it is in, what its significance is, and what your opinion of the picture is.

Part Three: Chart the ways in which the bloodiest battle in U.S. history, and the ensuing peace, forever changed a nation. African Americans found ways to push for change. Women’s suffrage gained converts, and America stepped onto the world stage.

First World War Quick Write

To wrap up our discussion on the First World War, take a look at the two questions below and answer one using at least two full paragraphs (a paragraph is 5-8 sentences) with a maximum of three paragraphs. Think critically about the question you choose and use your notes to help answer the question.

1) Was the United States justified in entering the First World War? If so, should the US have gotten involved sooner and why? If not, what should the United States have done differently?

—OR—

2) Describe the horrors of the First World War and its impact on Europe and the United States. As a result of this, why do you think Woodrow Wilson was so well received in Paris by the people, but not as well received by the leaders?

The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.

America and the Great War

For much of its history up to this point the United States was a neutral, and fairly isolationist, nation. When the First World War broke out, the United States had very little appetite to get involved in yet another European war. As the war continued on, however, it was becoming increasingly difficult for the United States to remain neutral. On April 6, 1917, the United States formally declared war on Germany, entering a war almost into its third year.

Nationalism and Alliances

In Europe, the idea of war was still seen as an honorable endeavor through to the twentieth century. Many Europeans were actually excited when the First World War broke out and many young men immediately enlisted. With nations like the United Kingdom and France possessing massive worldwide empires to count on, there was a seemingly never-ending chain of troops and supplies. Very quickly, however, the war turned into a horrifying stalemate in which wave after wave of troops needlessly died in some of the most gruesome ways.

Becoming a World Power

In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned Americans to "steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." His words helped guide American foreign policy for about 100 years. There was, however, disagreement about just what Washington meant. Some said he had argued for isolationism, a policy in which a nation focuses on what is happening within its own borders and remains uninvolved in world affairs. Others believed he supported trade alliances but not military ones.
