What Is The Role Of Immigrants In World War I?

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was founded in 1930, and today, “operates one of the largest health care delivery systems in the nation, with 168 medical centers and more than 1,000 outpatient facilities organized into regional networks” (GAO, 2017). The VA employs nearly 350,000 people at its facilities and serves approximately 9 million veterans each year (VA, 2017).

The promise that Lincoln made to the Veterans was “to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.” This is the motto for the VA, Veterans Administration, and has been since 1959. Lincoln's words stand as a reminder of what we and the government have to do for them since they have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The U.S. was built off immigrants, the idea that it would be a place of opportunity, a place where immigrants could have a new beginning. When WWl and WWll occurred, because of the ideology and sense of being patriotic, Chicanos included were seen as to also be taking part in helping out during these tough times. Despite the discrimination they endured it was expected of Mexicans, and Mexican-Americans to be contributing.

During the battle of Gettysburg, the nation lost so many soldiers’ lives. Over 50,000 lives was lost between both the Union and the Confederates. Lincoln stated, “we have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live”. The nation as a whole will never forget all

The Conscription crisis was one of the most divisive crises in Canadian history and the most serious test of confederation in its first 50 years. It was divisive because the English Canadians were for the war and French Canadians were not for the war. They felt that World War I was a British against European war. They did not want to support conscription because they would be leaving their Farms, They would be leaving their wives and families and they felt racism and discrimination. French speaking Canadians did not want to support the Canadian overseas military commitments, they had responsibilities they needed to deal with on their own.

Lincoln wants us to care for those who serve or did serve in the war, even if they are dead or alive. So what I want to promise to him is, when I see a Veteran I can say thank you for serving our country or celebrating Veterans Day or the Fourth of July. For the Veterans families if they need any help with something that I could help them with, then I will help them. We fight for what we believe in and I believe that our Veterans and their families deserve more respect than what we give them. There is Veterans that have no homes

In 1917, after three years of stalemate between the Allies and Axis Powers, the tides of WW1 changed as the US joined the party on the side of the Allies. In a single year after the US joined, the Allied won the Great War. Although the US were victors of the war, the country should also recognize that 117,000 of its troops died in just a single year. That’s an average 14,675 casualties per month. The reason why the US lost so many troops in WW1 in such a short period of time is because the country was behind in almost all aspects of war. America was not prepared for war. American technology and tactics were all outdated. The troops were inexperienced and trained poorly. This costed American lives that did not need to be lost. If it wasn’t for the enormous numbers and resource advantage that the US had, the US and the Allies would’ve lost the war.

The United States entered WWI for many reason. Initially the US claimed to remain neutral through the War, despite President Wilson leaning always towards the Allies cause. The unrestricted submarine warfare initiated by the Germans in response to the British Naval blockade targeted every ship that was near the British Empire, military or civilian alike. The sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, which was a British cruise/transport ship, bound for Britain from New York resulted in the 1195 people dying including 128 Americans contributed to the tug of war in the US to grow against the Germans. Even though the two countries dealt with this issue diplomatically by the Germans agreeing to stop the unrestricted submarine warfare, the promise did not last long. Another British passenger liner, the Arabic, was sunk the same years causing two American lives.

How do we keep Lincoln’s promise to our veterans and their families? Well think about it. You should always respect their work for our nation for thing. The work they have done for us is fighting for our lives. We should cherish them for all the things they have been through to save us and our nation. Lincoln was one of those people. I think he would love if we cherish all the veterans including him. That is only part of his promise. We need to thank the veterans for Lincoln’s promise. We should also always praise God and trust him with all your heart. He’s the one who gave us our lives. Without the veterans lives, what would have done without them fighting for our nation. What would it be like today? Probably not very good. That’s why we need

Four and a half months after the union defeated the Confederacy at the Battle of the Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. He gave the Union soldiers a new perspective on the war and a reason to fight in the Civil War. This speech immensely created high morale for the soldiers. Before the address, the Civil War was based on the states’ rights. Lincoln’s speech held values of the Declaration of Independence and had America’s future salvation in mind.

Many Americans were against joining World War I because the war did not concern America and was very dangerous. Due to the growth of industrial warfare, combat was now more dangerous than ever before with the invention of the submarine and airplane. These new inventions took combat to the sky and the deep sea where humans are extremely vulnerable and death can happen within minutes. To make matters worse, these new submarines and airplanes were equipped with weapons such as the torpedo and automatic machine gun, which contributed to the killing of over a hundred thousand American men alone.

Although many people viewed World War I as a war that consisted of “bloody, pointless warfare,” the Polish people - in Europe and in the United States - viewed the Great War as an opportunity to finally liberate their Old Country. At the start of the First World War, “the old Polish Commonwealth” had been under Russian, Prussian, and Austrian partitions for more than one hundred years. Under the control of these powers, the Polish country vanished off of the European map and the Polish people were greatly mistreated. The country of the Polish people only existed in their imaginations, as “a political fantasy of the past.” Fortunately, the dream of liberating Poland became something that the Poles greatly strived for during the Great War. The Polish immigrants in the United States, especially those in Chicago, did everything they could in order to help the Polish cause.

The Department of Veterans Affairs hasn’t always been the same organization that we know today. President Hoover in his State of the Union Address of 1929 addressed the issue of not
