americans perpair for war
1. A) The Germans started launching attacks on American ships. Then they proposed a threat on the United States and then we declared war. B) Yes because we shouldn’t have hushed into anything and we did something about the boat attacks by making an agreement and then they proposed a threat and then we came into the war for a good cause.
2. A) President Wilson Formed The Committee on Public Information (CPI). The CPI did a lot by organized rallies and parades and published posters and pamphlets. They proposed The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition act of 1918. They got crop for the troops by paying farmers to plant all their land and sell them the crops. People at home had to conserve food and practice “meatless Mondays, wheatless Wednesdays” and they planted their own vegetables in “Victory Gardens” B) The CPI organized rallies and parades and published pamphlets and posters etc. They also had speakers know as “four-minute men” who gave short patriotic speeches in many places to get people to join the war.
C) The government raised taxes and issued war bonds; the U.S. war bonds and Liberty bonds provided billions of dollars in loans to the Allies. The War Industries Board (WIB) saw the production distribution of copper, steel, cement, and rubber so people couldn’t get what they needed.
3. A) One million women joined the U.S. workforce during the few years of the war. Women worked as nurses, telephone operators, signalers, typists, and interpreters in France. Women couldn’t get jobs in combat but they braved gunfire.
B) Because of all the men fighting in battle the factories had fewer workers so all the new job opportunities Mexican Americans took. Because labor was so scarce workers demanded better wages and conditions so they went on strike, they established a minimum wage and limited work hours and gave women fair pay.
