Geschichte der USA | 20. Jahrhundert
World War I and the Aftermath
1917: The United States enters the First World War and brings victory to the Allies. During peace negotiations, US President Woodrow Wilson seeks to participate in shaping a new political order: A League of Nations to prevent future wars. But there is no majority in the US Congress for Wilson’s vision – thus, the USA does not join the League of Nations. At the same time, the Peace Movement is growing in the USA, which also includes many female activists. But since the October Revolution in Russia, pacifists are suspect and persecuted as Communists. The Red Fear (Red Scare) is spreading. Economically, however, things are on the rise: industry is booming - until the Great Depression of 1929, which plunges the country into a deep social crisis.
