Chapter 19
The Great War (WWI) 1914-1918
Time period 1877-1920.
Although the United States tried to stay neutral in both wars, neutrality was discovered to be a difficult place to be. After all, America had already entered the world stage as a diplomatic and economic force. We will look at the inventions and tactics that resulted from this war, which changed warfare forever.
This remake of one of the great war stories of all time (see button below) stars Richard Thomas as a gung-ho German student recruited into the army during World War I. But over time he begins to view the war as a tragedy for the fighting men on both sides.
