U.S. in World War I
The First World War, 1914-1918, was the first truly global conflict. A result of militarism, alliances, nationalism, imperialism, and sparked by assassination, this war saw great strides in technology and efficiency--and a significant number of casualties. From the ports of Africa to the trenches in France, WWI forever changed the face of modern warfare and the future of twentieth century politics. This gallery shares United States artifacts from the WWI era.
