Part One: Explore America’s tortured, nearly three-year journey to war. Ever the idealistic diplomat, Wilson vowed to keep his country out of “the Great War,” but by 1916, there was a growing sense that the war was coming closer to home.

First World War Readings & Checkpoints

Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). 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.

—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?
