America's Involvement In World War One

One of the most useless wars that America had the displeasure of being apart of was World War 1. It was started by the Austrians on July 28th, 1914 and nearly lasted four years finally ending on November 11th, 1918.

Like the rest of the world, the U.S. citizens had resentment towards the failure of the peace efforts of Versaille and many thought it was victor’s peace which wasn’t a lie.
