Sample Book Insights:
#1 When World War I ended in November 1918, the world was different from what it had been in 1914. The general mindset before the war was that war was generally good, but the full-scale industrialized war that broke out in the summer of 1914 destroyed that notion forever.
#2 The elation in the streets in the fall of 1918 was due in part to the fact that no one had believed the war would end so quickly. The still-green American doughboys, arriving by the thousands every day, had made the difference.
#3 The end of the war was celebrated, but it was not the only thing that everyone was celebrating. The Spanish flu had devastated troop encampments in Europe and then spread worldwide. It is thought that more than a quarter of the entire American population was infected, with as many as 675,000 dead in influenza hospitals.
#4 The Treaty of Versailles was extremely difficult to ratify in the United States. It redrew the map of Europe, created nine new nations, placed the blame for the war on Germany, and created Wilson's League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations.
