Lectures
World War I at Home
This lecture looks at the causes of U.S. entry to the First World War despite President Wilson’s vow that America would remain neutral in thought and action. Once the U.S. entered the war, however, all the country would accept was unconditional support for the war effort. We will look at what this meant for those who opposed the war effort and how the government sought to silence its critics.
