Unit Description

“The Great War,” also known as World War I began in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. After Austrian demands were not met, Austria declared war on Serbia and suddenly many of the great alliances between various European nations were called into action. This war, which was called “the war to end all wars” demanded much of the United States when it joined the fight. American men were drafted into the army, U.S. farms and factories sped up production, American families were asked to conserve and do with less, and weapons were sent to help Britain and France fend of German attacks. When the war was over, the face of Europe had changed. No one wanted a war like this ever again. President Woodrow Wilson put forth a proposal called the “Fourteen Points.” He wanted to make sure a world war never took place again. Much of the “Fourteen Points” were never approved. However, his idea for a League of Nations, an organization formed to maintain world peace, was included in the Treaty of Versailles. The United States never approved the League of Nations and ultimately it proved unsuccessful in its efforts to prevent aggression between nations.
