WORLD WAR I
United States History Unit “Isolation vs.
Globalization”
 Elaborated Unit Focus The focus of this unit is the
development of World War I, II and the Cold War. This
unit will examine the changes caused by the conflicts
that involved much of the world. These changes not
only involved how we looked at our world but also
how our beliefs and ideals changed as a result. It
also involved taking a closer look at individuals,
groups, and institutions to see how improvements
could be made to create a better United States and
world. Technological innovations created the need
for people to move and migrate to new areas.
