Finding a Place for World War I in American History 1914-1918

World War I has occupied an uneasy place in the American public and political consciousness.1 In the 1920s and 1930s, controversies over the war permeated the nation’s cultural and political life, influencing memorial culture and governmental policy. Interest in the war, however, waned considerably after World War II, a much larger and longer war for the United States. Despite a plethora of scholarly works examining nearly every aspect of the war, interest in the war remains limited even among academic historians. In many respects, World War I became the \u27forgotten war\u27 because Americans never developed a unifying collective memory about its meaning or the political lessons it offered. Americans remembered the Civil War as the war that ended slavery and saved the union, World War II as \u27the good war\u27 that eliminated fascist threats in Europe and the Pacific, the Cold War as a struggle for survival against a communist foe, and Vietnam as an unpopular war. By comparison, World War I failed to find a stable place in the national narrative.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/history_books/1040/thumbnail.jp

North America

These demographic shifts are just one example of how considering North America as an entity during the First World War offers the alluring possibility of breaking away from the strictures of the normal nation-state approach to studying the war, presenting an opportunity to consider the war\u27s regional and global dimensions. Uncovering the full scope of \u27North America\u27s War\u27 requires evaluating Britain\u27s dominant position in the global political economy, North America\u27s contribution to the fighting, international relations within North America and how North American-based events and initiatives affected the course of the war and the peace.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/history_books/1010/thumbnail.jp

Call to Duty: Women and World War I

Watching loved ones depart, uncertain if they would return—this was an experience that women around the world shared during the Great War.
