THE BACKGROUND
• America entered World War I with grand
intentions to make the world safe for democracy
and to promote self-determination of oppressed
nations. Millions participated in the war effort. It
was the first technological and total war in which
survival would be determined by its outcome. The
industrial revolution had unleashed a potential
holocaust for which few were prepared.
Previously, wars ended with a treaty, a hand shake
and back to business. Not so with this new
technology, alliance systems and manic
imperialism.
