First World War Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
America and the Great War
For much of its history up to this point the United States was a neutral, and fairly isolationist, nation. When the First World War broke out, the United States had very little appetite to get involved in yet another European war. As the war continued on, however, it was becoming increasingly difficult for the United States to remain neutral. On April 6, 1917, the United States formally declared war on Germany, entering a war almost into its third year.
