World War 1 Letters Analysis

America’s involvement in World War I not only impacted the war front but also the people left on the home front. When America entered World War I in 1917 the government enforced many measures on its citizens, many of which violated constitutional rights.

I am ecstatic to know that you are alive and well. It feels like it has been an eternity since you were born 23 years ago in our very own home in England. I still remember the day that I had to leave you, tears swelling up in my eyes, I left when you were only at the age of 8! It killed me to leave you, knowing I would probably never see you or your mother's face ever again. But here we are, communicating by letter from distant colonies in the new world. At least I can sigh of relief knowing that you are in the same country as me. Maybe someday we will be able to see each other. Until then, I do know that you and I have plenty of work to do developing our isolated distant colonies. To this day I still dream of you, me and your own mother meeting

Following the conclusion of the First World War, America began to flourish, especially through changes in technology, morality, and civil rights.

Despite being one of the largest and most detrimental wars in Europe’s history, World War I was started by the action of one single person.

After you finish the project, you feel accomplished until find out that you did it wrong. Now you have even less time than if you just procrastinated before, and you don’t know how to fix your original project or start all over. That’s pretty much what happened to cause World War I. Alliances and treaties, nationalism, and quick reactions led to a series of events that started World War I.

World War I began in 1914 but America remained neutral until its entrance into the war in 1917.
