Page 2: Nationalism and Key Historical Figures
This page delves deeper into nationalism's role and introduces crucial historical figures who influenced the war's outbreak.
Quote: "Nationalism is the betrayal of patriotism. By saying our interests first who cares about the others, we erase what a nation holds dearest, what makes it great and what is essential; its moral values" - French President Macron
Vocabulary: Imperialism - A policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.
Definition: The Black Hand - A secret military society that orchestrated the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Page 3: US Entry and Home Front Response
This page examines the factors that drew America into the war and the domestic response to international events.
Highlight: Wilson initially declared American neutrality, stating the nation would remain "impartial in thought as well as in action."
Example: The sinking of the Lusitania, a British passenger ship with American casualties, marked a crucial turning point in US public opinion.
Definition: U-boat - German submarine warfare technology that threatened international shipping and ultimately helped draw America into the war.
Page 4: Civil Liberties and Wartime Legislation
This page focuses on domestic policies and restrictions implemented during wartime America.
Definition: The Espionage Act of 1917 gave the government unprecedented powers to combat potential spying activities.
Vocabulary: Nativism - The policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants.
Highlight: The Sedition Acts of 1918 significantly restricted free speech, prohibiting "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about American institutions.
Page 4: Civil Liberties and Wartime Restrictions
The page focuses on domestic policies implemented during the war, particularly regarding civil liberties and national security measures.
Vocabulary: Nativism - the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants.
Definition: The Espionage Act of 1917 and Sedition Act of 1918 significantly restricted civil liberties during wartime.
Page 5: Peace Process and International Relations
This section examines the key figures and concepts in the post-war peace process, including reparations and the debate between globalism and isolationism.
Definition: War reparations were massive debt payments imposed on Germany to prevent future military capabilities.
Highlight: The tension between globalism and isolationism emerged as a crucial factor in post-war international relations.
Page 6: War Production and Economic Organization
The page details the transformation of American industry and economy for war production, including military contracting and resource management.
Example: The war effort led to significant economic reorganization, including Hoover's food supply management and McAdoo's railroad administration.
Highlight: The military's reliance on private industry contracts marked a new era in military-industrial relations.
Page 7: Social Changes and Public Information
This section covers the social impact of the war, including African American migration and government propaganda efforts.
Highlight: Approximately 6 million African Americans migrated from the South to the North during this period, seeking economic opportunities and fleeing racial violence.
Example: The Committee on Public Information used slogans like "Save the Wheat" and "Help the Fleet" to mobilize public support.
Page 1: Main Causes and American Involvement
This page outlines the fundamental causes of World War I and America's evolving role in the conflict. The MANIA framework provides a comprehensive structure for understanding the war's origins and escalation.
Definition: MANIA stands for Militarism, Alliances, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Assassination - the key factors that led to World War I.
Example: The arms race between European powers exemplifies militarism, with nations competing to develop superior weapons and larger armies.
Highlight: The Alliance system divided Europe into two major camps: the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance/Central Powers .

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
