Over there!!

The Yanks are coming!! One hundred years ago now!

From a variety of sources and authors some items of interest, the Great War [WW1] the topic for discussion in all instances.:

1. "Should America Have Entered World War I?"
By Michael Kazin - The New York Times

"One hundred years ago today, Congress voted to enter what was then the largest and bloodiest war in history ... The intervention led to big changes in America, as well as the world."

2. "When America Joined WWI and Became a Global Power"
By Carlos Hamann – AFP

"When America entered World War I, a century ago this week, the European powers were bogged down in a grinding trench war that had killed millions and ravaged the European continent."

3. "Should the U.S. Have Entered World War I?"
By Christopher Klein – History / A+E

"On April 6, 1917, the United States entered World War I after the U.S. House of Representatives followed the lead of the U.S. Senate in approving a declaration of war against Germany."

American perspectives on the Great War [WW1] thanks to one-hundred years of hindsight. Hindsight ALWAYS 20/20 perfect vision. It SEEMED like the correct thing to do at the time.
