Sending the Doughboys “Over There”

• Once President Wilson decided that the U.S. had been forced into the war in 1917, the country geared up quickly. “Doughboys”, or soldiers, were quickly trained, new weapons were invented, and the Triple Entente was strengthened immensely. At this same time, Russia overthrew their tsar and Lenin’s Bolsheviks led a Communist revolution. Once in power, he quickly pulled the newly named U.S.S.R. (United Soviet Socialist Republic) out of the war.

General Pershing & Sgt. York

• Two American heroes of the war were General John Pershing and Sgt. Alvin York. These two men gave new hope to America that the “war to end all wars” could be ended soon.

Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points• 1. No more secret agreements ("Open covenants openly arrived at").• 2. Free navigation of all seas.• 3. An end to all economic barriers between countries.• 4. Countries to reduce weapon numbers.• 5. All decisions regarding the colonies should be impartial• 6. The German Army is to be removed from Russia. Russia should be left to develop

    her own political set-up.• 7. Belgium should be independent like before the war.• 8. France should be fully liberated and allowed to recover Alsace-Lorraine• 9. All Italians are to be allowed to live in Italy. Italy's borders are to be"along

    clearly recognizable lines of nationality."• 10. Self-determination should be allowed for all those living in Austria-Hungary.• 11. Self-determination and guarantees of independence should be allowed for

       the Balkan states.• 12. The Turkish people should be governed by the Turkish government. Non-Turks in

       the old Turkish Empire should govern themselves.• 13. An independent Poland should be created which should have access to the sea.• 14. A League of Nations should be set up to guarantee the political and territorial

       independence of all states.

24

League of Nations

• President Wilson called for an international organization for peace. It would be a place where countries could bring disputes for an answer; this might help prevent a war. Almost every nation loved the idea- the main one against it was the United States. Why would this be ironic?

25

Wilson Travels the Country to Gain support for the League of Nations

• Wilson tried to talk the American people (and Congress) to join this organization. But many Americans wanted to trust in “isolationism” again. If another world war began, then the U.S. would stay out of it. Wilson’s was devastated by the results.

26

Germany: An Angry Loser

• Many Germans felt that their leaders had given up too soon in “The Great War.” Many wanted to avenge the loss, especially after harsh surrender conditions set up the country for a depression. One party, the Nazi party, led the thoughts of a return to greatness. One of their leaders was a young man who had been a corporal in the war: Adolf Hitler.
