Rapid Firing Machine Gun
Flamethrower
Poison Gas
Tanks
Submarines (U Boats)
Airplanes
Artillery Field Guns
24. __________________________ This armored vehicle ran on caterpillar treads and were built of steel
allowing bullets to bounce off. It was built to go over rough ground and barbed wire and had limited
success in maneuvering over the trenches.
25. __________________________ This weapon could fire as many as 600 bullets per minute. Because it
made a direct assault difficult, it is largely responsible for keeping WWI soldiers in the trenches during
the War. The problem? Old strategy, new technology!
26. __________________________ These long-range cannons caused more casualties than any other
type of weapon. Their range and fire-power led to increased civilian casualties as well as livestock and
property destruction.
27. __________________________ This chemical weapon was used to sicken, suffocate, burn, blind or kill
its victims, forcing soldiers to wear masks. Varieties such as chlorine, phosgene, and mustard were
used

used for bombing and dog-fighting

created, causing panic in enemy lines which could then be exploited.

Unrestricted Submarine Warfare
31. __________________________ Following the sinking of a French passenger liner in
1916 in which Americans were injured, Germany pledges to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare –
in other words, they promise to sink no more merchant/passenger ships without warming
32. __________________________ Created in 1917, this Act led to a form of conscription in the US. All
men between 21-30 (age 18 today) must register with this civilian-run organization, and a random
lottery determines the order in which men are drafted into the military.
33. __________________________ This Supreme Court Case states that individuals freedom of speech
can be limited when words constitute a “clear and present danger”
34. __________________________ This act placed limits on free speech by making it illegal to make
public expression of opposition to war, the President, or the gov’t
35. __________________________ These broke out in northern US cities after WWI as US soldiers
returning from Europe competed for jobs and housing with black Americans.
36. __________________________ This act imposed penalties and prison terms for giving aid to the
enemy. Also for disloyalty (draft-dodging), giving false reports and interfering with the war effort
37. __________________________ This treaty formally ended WWI. The US did not sign it, instead made
separate peace treaties with each Central Power Nation
38. __________________________ This was an organization created after WWI whose goal it was to
preserve peace and prevent future wars by pledging to respect and protect each country’s territory and
political independence. Wilson favored US participation in the organization, but this idea was rejected
by the Senate – they considered it an entangling alliance that could pull the US into foreign wars
39. __________________________ This population shift brought black Americans from the rural south to
the northern cities – permanently changing the racial make-up of many northern cities
40. __________________________ This was Germany’s policy of sinking merchant/passenger ships
without warning (against int’l treaty). Germany’s resumption of this policy in 1917 was one issue that
brought the US into WWI
41. __________________________ In this decisive battle that began in Sept 1918, American forces under
General John Pershing shattered German defenses and opened a hole in German lines leading to the
eventual armistice.
42. __________________________ This was the 1918 treaty between Germany and Russia which was a
terrible blow to the Allies in WWI. Russia pulled out of the war granting Germany some Russian
territory in exchange for Germany’s removal of troops from the rest of Russian territory
43. __________________________ This refers to an era between 1917-1917 marked by extreme anticommunism in the US – a fear that communism would upset the capitalist ideals of the US. This fear of
communism led to limits on immigration – as immigrants were blamed for importing radical ideas from
their original country
44. __________________________ These were conducted by the FBI and were focused on foreign
residents and immigrants – aimed at uncovering evidence of a communist conspiracy. Those who
were accused were often denied their civil liberties – some even deported
45. __________________________ These were advocated by President Wilson after WWI and were
intended to be implemented as a means to ease international tensions and prevent war.
46. __________________________ This was Germany’s offer to Mexico suggesting that if Mexico ally
itself with Germany, in the event of a Central Powers victory, Mexico would be granted its lost US
territory (TX, NM, AZ)
47. __________________________ The US government paid for WWI partly through a variety of tax
increases (income taxes, corporate taxes, extra tax on profits of arms manufacturers). However, the
most effective “fundraiser” was through the sale of these.
48. __________________________ According to President Wilson, this was the key to world peace
because it fosters stability and prosperity. Also, countries with this type of government system tend not
to attack each other.
49. __________________________ Because of this, no US troop ships were lost on the way to Europe.
This system involved groups of merchant or troop ships traveling together with a naval escort
