The program also discusses antagonistic responses to these changes, focusing on the rise of sectarian groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

World War I:

The Unfinished Nation: The Road to War

Examines the factors and influences behind World War One, beginning with the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip and the complex system of alliances among Germany, England, Serbia, and Russia. Through expert interviews and archival footage, the program focuses on the U.S. perspective on European nationalism, including Woodrow Wilson’s resistance to American involvement in the war and pleas for neutrality at home. After investigating the roles of the Lusitania and Zimmerman note in Congress’s decision to declare war, a feature on the War Industries Board and new technology imparts the revolutionary changes the war had on African Americans and immigrants. Special emphasis on the Progressive Era and such political forces as anarchism and socialism considers a revisionist perspective on the social impact of the war on the home front. Play

The Unfinished Nation: To End All Wars?

Chronicles the people, events, and movements surrounding U.S. involvement in World War One and the consequences of America’s new position as a dominant world power. The program begins with a look at the Russian Revolution and Lenin’s effects on the war, as well as the labor problem at home and the work deportations in Bisbee, Arizona. Archived footage presents General Pershing’s final push on the Western Front before delving into the troubled Paris peace negotiations. Historians discuss Wilson’s Fourteen Points and the Senate’s refusal to approve the Treaty of Versailles or join the League of Nations. Noting the political unrest in such nations as Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria after the war’s end and the red scare and race riots occurring in the U.S., the program communicates the disillusionment and anger that remained after the end of “the war to end all wars.” Play

Beginning with the assassination of President McKinley in 1901, the program tracks the rise of Theodore Roosevelt, from his changing relationship with trusts and monopolies to his firm devotion to conservation and environmental issues. The program also discusses key figures and events, including J. P. Morgan, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, Senator Robert La Follette, the Sierra Club, the Food & Drug Administration, the Panic of 1907, the origins of the Federal Reserve System.
