I See- Uncle Sam sending supplies to "his boys" in Europe It Means- Many Americans were supportive of their soldiers over at the war.

Summary: After the Americans joined the war, they had many at the home front sending supplies and weapons over to their soldiers. Americans were supportive of the war effort and wanted to join England. 1917- US becomes major world power.

World War 1 question four: Armistice A) Cause and Effects of US joining for allies and on Germans: Causes were the Germans own actions of trying to set up a war between the US and Mexico, after the Us joined the allies had won and Germany was forced to give up a lot of power,supplies,etc. B) The US' role in demoralizing Germany was their armistice which forced Germany to give up some of their land it took over in the war, release prisoner, give up weapons, etc.

Treaty of Versailles- Notes: Basically it was the treaty that ended WWI. It made Germany pay massive war damages, forced them to admit full responsibility for the war, lose land, power etc. 5) Basically a peace agreement would fairly correct the wrongs of the war, most countries that fought needed to be compensated for loss of soldiers, equipment, money and needed Germany to basically apologize. All of the allies would gain the most from agreements because they won, they could force Germany to pay huge sums of money. However, Germany should gain the most from peace talks, they could possibly balance out the wrongs of the treaty. 6) The Treaty of Versailles was an unfair document. This is because the allies had forced huge repayments on Germany and took away a lot of power. They also shamed the country by forcing them to admit to starting the war and take all responsibility. However, in fairness, the allies themselves had a big part of the war and should have admitted their part. They also should have tried to help Germany for their lost men, etc and not have taken away that much land and power.
