6th Grade - Historic Patriots

SUBJECT: World War I 1917-1919
 
"This war, like the next war, is a war to end war."

David Lloyd George, Great British Prime Minister

America was not involved in the beginnings of World War I (with the exception of a few, small groups who volunteered - for example, the Lafayette Escadrille).
But we helped finish it.

We will learn how a nation so dedicated to staying OUT of the war, ended up joining in the fight against the Central Powers...essentially being one main reason for the war's end...

...and setting us up for being the next major world power in history.
