Best Answer

Both women and African-Americans participated in World War I. Women fulfilled the traditional auxillary roles as nurses as well as taking over many men's jobs in factories making munitions and other needed materials used in the war. African-Americans served in segregated units with the US Army. After some prodding by leaders like WEB DuBois to convince the military to use them for more than just labor details, units served with distinction as combat troops in France.
