This war was the first war that the United States used their planes as their secret weapon. They also had Machine guns. They used the planes to bomb their enemy's. The United States had one of the best machinery. The other was Poison gas which would destroy the soldiers' nervous system when breathed in..

 

 

 

 

 

What caused the conflict

 

When Serbian terrorists assassinated Archduke (1914) of Austria/Hungary it got them very mad and that cause started a global war. It caused Austria/Hungary to declare war on Serbia. Russia supported Serbia and Germany supported Austria/Hungary (That's how they entered the war). We figured that they would soon stop.

Now what got us in the war was the sinking of our ships by German U-boats (submarines) and when Germany sent a messenger to Mexico saying if Mexico supported Germany, Mexico may win back the Texas territory (lost in the Mexican American War). But we intercepted the messenger, so Mexico didn't know about it. This plus the sinking of our ships by German U-boats (submarines) got us aggravated. We couldn't see them attacking us and we felt Germany had gone too far. That’s when we entered the war.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Aftermath (results)

 

The official armistice, or cease- fire, for World War 1 came on November 17, 1918. Germany surrendered to the Allies. The end of the war brought relief to the exhausted allies. Plus it set up the borders for the next great war- WWII. Since Germany caused the war they had to pay millions of dollars to France. This sent them into an economic depression which eventually causes Germany to invade France in the beginning of WWII.

 

 

One of the battles we picked in war

 

I would pick Belleau Wood. As American troops approached their target, they were barraged by large caliber shells. Just before dawn the marine brigade started for hill 142. Amid Burst of machine- gunfire, the marines charged the hill and finally took the spotters position. The taking of the woods straightened our line and gave us good protection from the Germans as we began to attack them.
