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

Archdike had a bomb thrown at his car but he wasnt injuresd but two guards were woulded. Archduke was on his way to the hospital when his driver went down the rong road which was a dead end. He came to a stop and a man came up to him and fired two shots. One for him and one for his wife.
World War one introduces many new factors of war such as Trench Warfare, Poison Gas, Submarines, Heavy Artilery, Biplanes, Tanks, rifles that can fire more than one round before reloading, and machine guns.
The central powers were Germany, Austria Hungary, and Turkey.(GAT)
The allied powers was America, France, Italy, Russia, and England.(AFIRE)
As Germans would pass throught innocent Belgium, the germans would rape women and kill people including babies and alot of horrrible stuff that was reported of the German soldiers.
Germans began using submarines to sink ships heading toward Great Brittain.
The germans sank the Louisitania and killed thousands including 128 americans.
Wilson wasoutraged and stated the Germany must stop killing the innocent.
Alot of americans wanted the US to go to war because we were known as too proud to battle and we wanted to do what was right because we had to stop the central powers.
In the election of 1916 wilson was reelected and then under wilsons second term of Presidence he declared war.
The election of 1920 republicans came back to power after a long time of loosing elections and not being included.
The Treaty of Versailes ended World War One by giving germans no choice but to surrender.
The Treaty of Versailes punished Germans and angered them leading to the second world war.
Wilsons Treaty of Versailes didnt include Republicans but only included Demcrats.
