It was the first continent-wide conflagration in a century, and it drew much of the world into its fire. By the end of it, four empires and their royal houses had fallen, communism was unleashed, the map of the Middle East was redrawn, and the United States emerged as a global power--only to withdraw from the world's stage. The Great War is often overlooked, especially compared to World War II, which is considered the "last good war." The United States was disillusioned with what it achieved in the earlier war and withdrew into itself. Americans have tried to forget about it ever since. The Great War in America presents an opportunity to reexamine the country's role on the global stage and the tremendous political and social changes that overtook the nation because of the war. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 345-398) and index. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z United States. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Influence. 941 $a 14 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041705.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210022459.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20230201025738.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909052824.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20220302103331.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202015337.0 952 $l JMPC081 $d 20210623010408.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724012216.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20200625010429.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204094137.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110080343.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190423015207.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190202011336.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181208010325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F86F245AFAB611E8B830B36F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
