America was drawn into a conflict, one in which it really had no intention of participating. Regardless, America found itself a belligerent. This paper is a brief study of the general causes of the war, Wilson`s reaction, how America prepared and supported her troops. This examination will include a political, economic and social overview of America and how those changes are still affecting us today. Almost every social, political or economic conflict of this century can be traced back to the incredible bloodletting on the battlefields of the Great War. The Great War framed the political posturing of several generations of diplomats, politicians, military officers and everyday people. The gross failures of the war-making powers generated and fed a century of rebellion against any legitimate authority and the monarchial systems of government in particular. Prohibition and the influenza pandemic also took their place in forming America at the beginning of the twentieth century.
