Wow... look at the typos.





Well, let%26#039;s think about it:





WW1: War in Europe. New technologies used for the first time -- the machine gun, mustard gas, trench warfare, tanks. In Europe -- destroyed much of France and Germany.





Earlier Wars US Fought in:


Revolutionary War -- on US Soil


Civil War -- on U.S. Soil


War of 1812 -- on US Soil -- all involved the British as the %26quot;bad guys%26quot; (except civil war, which was the war between the states.)


Spanish-American War -- also in North America.


Largely not %26quot;technology%26quot; wars. U.S. and Brits (and Spanish/natives) largely the people whose lives were lost.


In WWI nations were decimated. The Brits were our friends; the Germans and Austro-Hungarians were our foes.

Well first it was the First World War so that was somthing for the whole world but also the Spanish-American War was also fought in the Philipenes we were allies with Britain France Japan Russia(not yet the Soviet Union) and a few others, new weapons were the Tank Machine Gun Chemical Bombs Planes and lots of Iron and Steel ships, the main loss of people was french german austrian hungarian and russian live as well as britain and american lives which did not lose as many the fighting was mainly in Europe but some fighting was in the Pacific where Japan was taking over some German Colonies.
Reply:The biggest weapon was the mass media and the development of propaganda. The United States was considered generally sympathetic to Germany before the mass media went to work on public opinion. Woodrow Wilson campaigned and won on a %26quot;keep out of the war%26quot; policy in 1916. By 1917 the US had joined the war on the side of the British.
