During World War I, as in so many other wars, soldiers from both sides were given nicknames of all sorts. The American soldiers who went 'over there' to fight were no exception, receiving nicknames such as 'doughboys' and 'Yanks,' among many others.

Explain the term ''doughboys'' of World War I?
I'm studying World War I right now, and I was told that the term "doughboys" was the name given to the American soldiers. It came from when they fought in the Mexican-American War. Where they fought, they often got covered with white dust, making them look like they were covered in flour, thus the name "doughboys". That's what I've heard anyways. The buttons on the soldiers uniforms looked like little dough treats. The public started callng them doughboys when they saw them.
