Isolationism in the USA after WW1
1) After WWI, the US became increasingly isolationist as the public did not want to be involved in overseas conflicts and feared the costs of future wars.
2) The US rejected the Treaty of Versailles and did not join the League of Nations, reducing its role in global affairs.
3) Through policies like the Fordney-McCumber Tariff and immigration quotas, the US also isolated itself economically and politically in the 1920s in an effort to focus inwardly.
USA And WW1
The document provides background information on the USA and its entry into World War 1 in 1917. It discusses the USA's policy of isolationism prior to the war and its political system and parties. It then covers reasons why the US joined the war in 1917, including Germany resuming unrestricted submarine warfare which threatened US trade. President Wilson played a role in the Treaty of Versailles but the US Senate ultimately rejected joining the League of Nations. The war resulted in increased US trade and industry while isolationism increased following the war.
Post WWI American Society & Economy
The post-WWI period in America saw significant social, political, and economic changes. The Spanish Flu pandemic killed over 40 million worldwide. Labor unrest increased as workers went on major strikes in 1919. The 18th Amendment established Prohibition, while the 19th Amendment granted women's suffrage. Xenophobia grew due to fears of radicalism, fueling the First Red Scare and Palmer Raids targeting immigrants. Racial tensions erupted in major race riots across several cities. The economy initially struggled as wartime production ended before entering a boom in the 1920s.
The Usa After Ww1
After World War 1, the United States pursued a policy of isolationism. President Wilson had proposed the 14 Points and helped establish the League of Nations, but Americans lost trust in him for entering WWI. The US rejected the Treaty of Versailles and did not join the League of Nations. Through the 1920s, the US enacted tariffs and quotas to reduce foreign trade and immigration. This isolationism aimed to cut ties with Europe and protect American jobs and values from foreign influence, but ultimately undermined international cooperation and the League's effectiveness.
The united states enters world war 1
The United States initially pursued a policy of isolationism in World War 1, with many Americans wanting to avoid involvement in foreign conflicts. However, German actions like sinking civilian ships like the Lusitania that killed Americans, as well as an intercepted telegram proposing an alliance with Mexico against the U.S., turned public opinion toward entering the war. In April 1917, after German submarines sank three more U.S. ships, Congress declared war on Germany and the U.S. joined the Allied forces in World War 1.
'To End All Wars' - Woodrow Wilson in WW1
An evaluation of President Woodrow Wilson presidency with particular emphasis on his policies in WW1.
Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points
Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. During World War I, Wilson outlined his 14 Points speech in 1918, which proposed terms for a post-war peace settlement. The 14 Points called for open diplomacy, freedom of the seas, removal of economic barriers, and the establishment of an organization, later known as the League of Nations, to uphold these principles and keep peace between nations. While some of the 14 Points were included in the eventual Treaty of Versailles, opposition from allies and Wilson's inability to get the treaty ratified in the US weakened its impact and allowed Germany to resume imperialism.
Woodrow Wilson
Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. As President, he instituted several progressive domestic reforms and tried to keep the U.S. neutral in World War I. However, the U.S. entered the war in 1917 after Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare. Wilson then led the country during the war and advocated for his Fourteen Points and the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference. However, the U.S. Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles and the country did not join the League of Nations. Wilson's health declined rapidly after leaving office in 1921 and he died in 1924.

Peace After WWI
The document summarizes key events around the end of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. It describes how Germany surrendered in November 1918 and the establishment of the Weimar Republic. It then discusses Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points and the Paris Peace Conference where the "Big Four" (Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd George, and Orlando) negotiated the treaty. The Treaty of Versailles placed blame on Germany, imposed heavy reparations, limited Germany's military, and altered its territorial boundaries. However, it failed to address some important issues and devastated Germany, sowing seeds for future conflict.
End of WWI
World War I ended in 1918 with Germany agreeing to an armistice based on President Wilson's 14 Points. The Paris Peace Conference then established the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which placed sole blame for the war on Germany and imposed heavy reparations. Germany lost territory and was demilitarized under the punitive treaty. Dissatisfaction with the treaty's terms sowed the seeds for World War II as Germany and others felt cheated while the US turned isolationist.
Consequences of the great war
The document summarizes the major consequences of World War 1 across political, economic, social, colonial, and international realms. Politically, four major European empires collapsed while new countries emerged from partitioned territories. Economically, Europe lost its global supremacy as the US benefited and took the lead. Socially, traditional norms were challenged and women gained new rights and roles. The League of Nations was formed to promote cooperation but lacked power without the US and defeated nations. Overall, the post-war treaties set the stage for renewed tensions in Europe.

3) Hitler continued expanding by annexing Austria and demanding the Sudetenland, culminating in the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939 in violation of appeasement agreements.
4) Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact, then Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 leading Britain and France to declare war, starting World War II.
First World War
The document discusses Germany's attitude towards war in 1914. It argues that Germany's enemies (France, Britain, Russia) were not fully prepared for war at the time, while Germany's allies (Austria, Italy, Turkey, Romania) were ready to support Germany. It states that Germany should take advantage of this favorable moment and resolve conflicts of interest through war, regardless of the provocation, in order to secure its future as the leader of European policy. Germany's enemies were France, Britain, Russia, while its allies were considered Austria, Italy, Turkey, Romania. The document advocates for Germany to provoke war in 1914 to maintain control over European affairs while its opponents were perceived as weak.
Social effects of wwi
WWI led to widespread disillusionment among soldiers due to the horrors of trench warfare and artillery bombardment. This disillusionment widened the generation gap and increased anger towards political leaders who had sent young men to their deaths. New technologies like tanks, planes and gas failed to break the stalemate of trench warfare. The war also had social effects like increasing women's roles and rights in society while restricting civil liberties in countries through propaganda and laws.

American Lives: Eugene V. Debs
Earning nearly a million votes—6% of the total cast—in his fourth run for the presidency in
1912, Socialist Eugene V. Debs mistakenly believed that the Socialist Party of America (SPA)
stood on the edge of an impending electoral revolution. Known as a radical advocate for the
working class, Debs and other Socialists shared a vision for a new America in which workers
would stand united and solve many of the ills of industrial society.
Under ideal socialism, collective or government ownership of utilities, services, and businesses
would in theory equalize the social classes and evenly distribute wealth among the population.
Poverty would be reduced, and all citizens would share in the nation’s prosperity. In the Pro-
gressive era more than 100 local and state officials and two congressmen were elected under
the SPA. Although Progressives were not Socialists, they expressed similar ideals such as mak-
ing capitalism more responsive to the needs of the average citizen and regulating businesses to
level the playing field in major industries.
bar82063_06_c06_165-198.indd 166 1/9/15 9:32 AM
Ailing health prevented Debs from challenging incumbent Woodrow Wilson in the 1916 presi-
dential election, but as Wilson prepared the country to enter the world war a year later, Debs
returned to public life and delivered a series of scathing antiwar speeches. Debs argued that
workingmen were disproportionately affected when the nation went to war. They were, he said,
exploited as a fightin.
Usa 1919 41 revision booklet
This document provides an overview of key events and developments in America between 1919-1941, including:
1. After WWI, many Americans embraced isolationism and opposed American involvement in foreign affairs like the League of Nations. Tariffs were also increased in the 1920s to protect American industry and jobs.
2. The 1920s saw economic prosperity for some but also poverty, fueled by consumerism, racial tensions, and Prohibition. The stock market crash of 1929 led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
3. In response to the Depression, FDR introduced the New Deal which included relief programs and financial reforms aimed at recovery. While successful in some areas, the New Deal faced opposition and did not

The document discusses the outbreak and causes of World War I in Europe. Major powers like Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, France, and Britain were entangled in a system of alliances that led them to enter the war after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in 1914. Rising nationalism and decades of disputes over territory and influence pulled the countries into a conflict that dragged on for three years and drew in the United States in 1917.
1920s
The 1920s were a period of conflict in the United States. Xenophobia against immigrants was widespread after World War 1 as returning soldiers struggled with competition for jobs. The Red Scare led to raids against communists and prejudice against many immigrant groups. Prohibition went into effect in 1919 due to pressure from temperance groups, but led to increased crime and corruption as underground alcohol markets emerged. Women gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. The 1920s also saw economic growth under pro-business administrations.
Chapter 10 Reading Guide
When the United States entered World War I, it had a small army that needed to be rapidly expanded. Congress passed the Selective Service Act to institute the draft. The War Industries Board regulated industries supporting the war effort and urged Americans to conserve food. The Committee on Public Information worked to generate public support for the war through education and advertising. After the war, the Treaty of Versailles faced opposition in the U.S. Senate from those who opposed American involvement in the League of Nations and the treaty terms. As a result, the U.S. did not ratify the treaty.
UNIT 4-ROARING 20'S-A STUDY INTO THE AMERICAN HISTORY
The 1920s was the first decade to have a nickname: “Roaring 20s" or "Jazz Age." It was a decade of prosperity and dissipation, and of jazz bands, bootleggers, raccoon coats, bathtub gin, flappers, flagpole sitters, bootleggers, and marathon dancers.
What’s your question2
The document discusses why the United States did not join the League of Nations after World War I. Henry Cabot Lodge and other Republicans opposed U.S. membership due to concerns that Article X of the League charter would require the U.S. to take military action according to the League's decisions without regard for American interests. While Woodrow Wilson strongly advocated for the League and American involvement after winning the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize, the Republican-controlled Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles that established the League. As a result, the U.S. remained outside of the League when it began operations after World War I.
LOAPUSH ch 29
Woodrow Wilson became President in 1912 after Democrats nominated him as a progressive reformer. He defeated Republican incumbent President Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as a third party candidate. As President, Wilson ushered in significant progressive reforms like the Federal Reserve Act and lowering tariffs. In foreign policy, he believed in promoting American values abroad but tried to maintain neutrality in World War I for as long as possible to avoid entering the war. However, German submarine attacks on passenger ships eventually helped push public opinion towards supporting entering the war on the side of the Allies.
America compared
1) Between the 1960s and 1890, conflict arose as Americans expanded Westward into Indian lands, leading the U.S. government to constrain Native Americans onto small reservations. Large tribes like the Sioux and Cheyenne resisted, but the U.S. Army overpowered them.
2) In the late 19th century, the U.S. and Canada attempted to assimilate Native Americans by forcing them to adopt "white" customs through residential schools that aimed to erase Indigenous cultures. These programs largely failed to help Native peoples.
3) During the Great Depression, both the U.S. and Germany suffered widespread poverty. Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler were elected after promising reforms, though their policies differed

The new government testing the constitution
George Washington faced many challenges as the first President of the newly formed United States under the new Constitution. He established important precedents, including creating the first Cabinet to advise him across key topics like foreign affairs, treasury, and war. Washington also set the precedent of serving only two terms as President. Additionally, he advocated for neutrality in foreign affairs during his time as President.

Effects Of The Depression On The Usa 15741
The Depression had severe consequences for many Americans. Banks ran out of money after people withdrew their savings, leading them to close. Unemployment skyrocketed to 25% in 1932, leaving many homeless as they could not pay their loans. Farmers struggled with falling prices and dust bowls, leaving crops rotting in fields. Charities operated soup kitchens and bread lines to help the unemployed as there was no social security system at the time.
The Roaring Twenties 14511
The document discusses whether "The Roaring Twenties" accurately describes life in the United States during the 1920s. It analyzes aspects of entertainment, racism by the Ku Klux Klan, and Prohibition and organized crime. New forms of entertainment like flappers, jazz music, movies, and radio expanded popular culture. The KKK targeted non-Protestant white Americans and promoted white supremacy through violence. Prohibition led to speakeasies, bootlegging, and emboldened criminal groups like Al Capone's, who profited from corruption to evade the law.
What Caused The Wall St Crash 10086
There were several long-term and short-term causes that led to the USA falling into depression in 1929. Long-term causes included overproduction of goods which led to falling demand, unequal distribution of wealth so most people couldn't afford goods, and tariff policies that isolated US trade. The short-term cause was the Wall Street crash in October 1929. This was precipitated by factors such as easy credit, lack of controls on stock market speculation, and advertising that encouraged consumer spending beyond means. When stock prices collapsed, it wiped out the savings of many and devastated the economy.
Road To Wwii
The document summarizes the key events leading up to World War 2, including Hitler's rise to power in Germany and his aims of expanding German territory, abolishing the Treaty of Versailles, and destroying Communism. It then outlines Hitler's "steps to war" through remilitarization of Germany, annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland, and invasion of Poland, despite the policy of appeasement by Britain and France. War broke out in Europe in 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany after it invaded Poland.
Road To War Sources
This document outlines a scoring rubric for interpreting political cartoons, with higher levels requiring more detailed interpretation supported by evidence from the cartoon as well as broader contextual knowledge. Level 1 involves only surface-level understanding, level 2 adds some interpretation, level 3 supports interpretation with cartoon details, and level 4 integrates both the cartoon and outside context into the analysis. Dates from 1936 to 1939 are also listed, possibly relating to significant historical events from that period in European history that could provide relevant context for interpreting political cartoons.
Treaty Of Versailles
The document summarizes the Treaty of Versailles and the disagreements between the Allied powers over how to treat Germany after World War 1. France wanted harsh terms for revenge after immense losses, while Britain and the US advocated for more lenient terms to avoid future conflict. The eventual Treaty placed full war guilt on Germany, imposed massive military restrictions, took German land and colonies, and demanded heavy reparations that crippled the German economy and fostered resentment. Germany reacted with bitterness over the humiliation of being forced to sign the punitive "Diktat" treaty.

Isolationism In The Usa After Ww1 613
- 1. Governments in Action: USA 1919-1941 Part 1: The Growth of Isolationism 1. How did the USA react to the treaty of Versailles? 2. How did the policies of the USA encourage isolationism?
- 3. USA wants to become Isolated from other Countries: BUT WHY? Americans did not want more dead soldiers from wars thousands of miles away Afraid of the massive cost of wars in the future “ It would be better for us if we stayed out of the problems of other countries.”
- 6. Fordney-McCumber Tariff Reduce Immigration (Reduce no. of people moving to USA) This tariff was a tax that was placed on foreign goods. This made them more expensive and made American products more attractive to the customer. This policy worked well and helped to create the ‘boom’ of the 1920s. However, foreign governments retaliated by putting taxes on American goods. The USA had now isolated itself economically. There was an increasing fear of foreign people after WW1. This was due to the war, but mainly the fear that they would take American jobs (because they accepted lower wages.) Also, many feared their new political ideas (especially communism) The US government passed laws that were specifically designed to reduce immigration numbers from poorer countries.
- 7. How did the USA try to reduce immigration? People had to take a literacy test where they had to read a passage of English. This helped English speakers, but other people could not afford English lessons. Those who failed were not allowed in. The Immigration Quota Act 1921 “Only 357,000 people are allowed in every year” “Only 3% of the existing number of people who live here in the USA will be allowed in!” “This means that because there is already much more Irish people than Asian, the 3% quota will allow much more Irish in than Asian!”
- 8. RESULT The USA became isolated from other countries both economically (trade) and politically (by staying out of the affairs of other countries.) Immigration levels were reduced as the USA began to fear ‘foreigners’ (threat to jobs and general distrust). Their policies were designed to keep out Africans, Asians and South Americans whilst continuing to allow in White Europeans. The aim of isolationism ultimately damaged World peace as the USA failed to join the League of Nations. Many now saw the League as a ‘Talking shop with no Teeth’.
