Three Things In American History

Three things that I have learned about in American History that I believe have had a huge impact on making America what it is today are the new technology created in WWI. The 1920’s like the women and how they acted, and how that essentially shaped how women are treated and are able to act today.

While Germany is sending a telegram to Mexico to get us into the war and sinking our ships with their U-boats, we began working on our very our own war technology.

Things that happen today, are an effect of something that happened in the 1920’s or even before. It’s all a domino effect. Everything that occurred back then has affected every single way the United States is
