A century ago, Great War raised worries
Placeholder Image
One hundred years ago, Europe was in the throes of World War I, called the Great War prior to World War II, and countries were declaring war on each other right and left. The nervous United States officially proclaimed itself neutral, but didn’t mean it wasn’t involved in or affected by the European war. Americans were jittery about the prospects of sending troops “Over There,” and there was division among the people as to how much, if any, involvement the United States should engage in.
