Alliances and the U.S.
Alliances
_Many
events helped spark the start of WWI. When the assassination of
Archduke Ferdinand occurred, Austria-Hungary was furious. They declared
war on Serbia, and so did Germany. And then some other countries all
declared war on each other because of them all being in alliances.
France, Great Britain, and Russia were in the Triple Entente, or
Allies. Germany, Austria Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire, made up the
Central Powers. They had already been going at each other for years before the war.
Propaganda
_The United
States played an important role in WWI. They helped the Allies win the
war, and President Wilson came up with a 14 point plan, to keep the
peace around the world. The United States also used propaganda posters
to help with their business. They helped convinced to citizens to buy
things from them so they can help the war effort. Many people thought
this was awesome, and tried to help as best as they could.
