World+War+One+Era

﻿ _
The world war one era contains events that have strongly influenced our history. This era was about America competing to become a great power against other world forces. The conflicts that happened at this time have influenced massive immigration, later wars, the great depression, new war tactics, communism and the rise of the Soviet Union. In this era, the world was poverty-stricken and people found hope in America, which soon became the melting pot of the world. However, there were troubles in America too, poverty and unemployment rates were high, workplaces were not safe and young children were forced to work in hazardous conditions. Then America started passing bills and rights to benefit workers and children. Also, New amendments were created that have changed America greatly since then. World War One also changed domestic family life. Rations were in place so food and gas were very limited, and almost every man was off at war. Many families in America created victory gardens because to feed their families because all of the food at the markets were being sent over to the troops instead.
