War bonds were debt securities that served as loans borrowed from the public, by the federal government, in order to finance the needs of the government in support of the nation’s war effort. Sold in various cent denominations, citizens of the United States spent a total of $185.6 billion in war bonds.

            During the war the armed forces grew to over four million officers and men (Holcombe par. 9). Materials to support an army of this size to include training, housing, transportation, food, clothing and medical concerns were considerable. More importantly the army and navy needed modern arms and tons of ammunition. Consequently, taxes increased as federal revenue requirements rose by nearly 400 percent between fiscal 1917 and fiscal 1919 (Holcombe par. 10). When America declared war on April 6, 1917, the war departments sent President Wilson a message that they would need the full support of the public to succeed in the war effort.  America was staring into the face of total war. Mobilizing a disparate population and acquiring the necessary capital to equip the military needed a communications campaign on an unprecedented scale.  One memo submitted by the secretaries of state stated, “America’s great present needs are confidence, enthusiasm, and service and these needs will not be met unless every citizen is given the feeling of partnership …” (Murphy 17). President Wilson responded rapidly to these reports, and within one week of declaring war the Committee on Public Information (CPI) was created. From the very start Wilson did not

In order to get this money, the government did many things. It used rationing (limiting food use) and price controls on agriculture. To save money, energy, and fuel, the government created daylight savings (to prolong the hours in a day) and “Heatless Mondays” (Heating wasn’t used on Mondays). The government also increased taxes. A final thing the government used to collect funds for the war was selling war

In place for over one-hundred years now, the estate tax was put into place to do more than just finance World War I. In 1916, there were extremely wealthy families, such as the Vanderbilt’s and the Carnegie’s, that dominated industries and held a large portion of the nation’s wealth. The estate tax was proposed to curb massive amounts of inter-generational wealth that was

In 1914, when the war began, the United States remained neutral, taking a backseat to the fighting in Europe. The war however, still had an impact on America. There was a large industrial expansion in industry and agriculture from the increased demand for those supplies over seas. The French, British, and Russians imported raw materials, foodstuff, and military supplies, which resulted in an increase of 15% in the gross national product (GNP) for the United States (Progressive Era). Although some questioned the need to spend such a large amount of money on a war that the U.S. was not yet a part of, the U.S. raised $15 billion dollars more than they spent on their allies with just the sale of Liberty bonds; that doesn’t include the money tax revenue (Progressive Era). Staying neutral actually helped the U.S. maintain a steady economy without losing any lives in combat. The money that the U.S. was able to make back went into programs to aid apparent issues in the country, such as education, that only received the attention after the war.
