WW1 Homefront

It takes a long time to die from the effects of syphillis, often several decades after exposure. Even then frequently death results from secondary complications caused or exacerbated by the disease. So, if you're asking how many got the disease during the war and died from it during the war, probably zero. I do not know that any statistics were kept as to the origin of the disease in patients who later died from it or its effects. I can say that so far as the American Expeditionary Force goes, their rate of genito-urinary infection was probably the lowest in US history. This was directly due to the determination of General Pershing to bring the boys back home as pure in body as he got them from their mothers. When US troops began debarking from their transports at French ports such as Cherbourg, the brothels were immediately closed and MPs placed on guard in front, despite the immediate protests of the mayor that this was horrible for business, and barbaric. Just as soon as possible the American troops were on trains to the middle of nowhere, where they were billeted in barns in the countryside around little villages, in as remote locations as could be found, all to limit just as much as possible any chance for amorous adventures and contracting the Love Bug. Very, very few of the Doughboys got to see Paree. They entered France through small ports, lived in barns in the wilderness until they went to the front, and if they lived through that, for most it was straight to Camp Lucky Strike at Le Havre (where the most rigorous exertions were made to curtail commercial love and the concommitant Carnal Flu), and then back home. Doughboys had a much better chance of getting the clap from domestic prostitutes near Army camps in the states, and any who managed to pull that off were court martialed and severely punished for damaging government property.

In England, a lot of women took over jobs that had previously been done by men, because the men were away at war. Women joined the police force, they worked as postwomen, bus conductors, drove delivery vans and worked in farming and forestry. A lot of women went to work in munitions factories, which was an important but dangerous job. Many women who had previously worked in domestic service left to work in factories or in other jobs.

In the United States, most of the time, a person had to choose between being loyal to King George and the British, or being loyal to the Colonials fighting for independence. There was usually no room for people who were undecided, middle of the road. You were forced to choose between loyalty and Independence. It was very difficult and many people suffered as a result. If you favored the King, you were attacked by people fighting for independence. If you favored independence, you were attacked by British soldiers. It was a very difficult time to be alive, and those who sided with the King, were often forced to leave the Colonies after the war ended and many of them went to Canada.

What happend to Worthing in WW1

they was well eguped as they won

in simple terms, not enough people were joining the War effort so they needed more people to join. conscription was an easy way to get people to join.

Absolutism cut down the rights of the people by adding new taxes and forcing peasants to become land-locked serfs. Absolutism created riots and revolts led by the angry peasants who simply wanted to live their normal lives without government interference.

It was 1920 for women's voting rights.

the u.s.a because it has the best milatary and has the largest economy of any country in the world

Militarism began in Europe after the reign of Napoleon I. Many nations, after having witnessed the success that could be achieved by a strong army, sought to strengthen their military forces and they did so in competition with each other.

Yellow journalism, in short, is biased opinion masquerading as objective fact. Moreover, the practice of yellow journalism involved sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of boosting newspaper sales and exciting public opinion. It was particularly indicative of two papers founded and popularized in the late 19th century- The New York World, run by Joseph Pulitzer and The New York Journal, run by William Randolph Hearst.

The good ole USA

12 year old girls still had an important role in World War 1.

They had to do much of the housework and farm work. They

Had to take care of youngsters because usually the Mothers

attended a local knitting group where they knit socks and

sweaters for war. 12 year old girls were expected to know

how to sew their own clothes as well.

yes. they were not being paid as much as the men were and most employers were reluctant to employ women over men anyway. they were also put at risk when working and not given the appropriate clothing for safety.

During World War One our country was made up of immigrants. It was divided and broken into pieces and support for sides. When America entered the war on April 6, 1917, the biggest worry was public unity. So on April, 13, 1917, President Wilson created the Committee on Public Information. They censored and limited "Damaging information," that might have induced support for the non-allies. Soon the company was combining advertising techniques with psychology to create all sorts of propaganda.

I think it was that it was the first battle and started the Civil War.

The reason why WW1 started was because in Austria, they shot the guy called Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was shot by a Serbian Nationalist. Do you know that within six weeks, Australia replied back?

Questions such as these require more specifics, such as: of what army? Or what nation's army? Etc. Because they are almost always different. Example: Vietnam War; Australian Centurion tank regiment was equivalent to a US Army squadron. An Australian tank squadron was equal to a US Army tank company. Note (for your info): The only two different ALLIED medium battle tanks in the war were the "Pattons" and "Centurions." Using the US Army as a model (and during the Vietnam War time frame): 1. Regiments were used only by the US Cavalry. 2. Regiments were about equal to a brigade. 3. Two or more squadrons made up a regiment (two or more battalions made up a brigade). 4. Two or more TROOPS made up a Squadron. (Samples: A Troop, B Troop, C Troop, etc.). Only the cavalry used the term "Troop", everyone else used the term "Company." Two or more platoons made up a Troop (two or more platoons made up a company). 5. US Armor Battalions (tank battalions) had about 500 officers and men. US Infantry Battalions (Infantrymen/Grunts) had about 600 officers and men. US Mechanized Infantry Battalions (equipped with M113 ACAVs) had about 900 officers and men. US Armored Cavalry Squadrons (M551 Sheridan/M113 ACAV equipped) had about 1,000 officers and men. Therefore, in the Viet War, a US Armored Cav regiment will have over 2,000 men.

Government were unwilling to load money off other countries so they increased taxes to raise $9 billion. The purchase of 'Liberty Bonds' by American citizens raised another $15 billion. Woodrow Wilson counted on Allies financial dependance as a weapon to use in achieving the goals of his postwar diplomacy. Lever Act- established food Administration. Persuaded America to save food for the shipment over seas. 'War Gardens' were created by women and children as a contribution to the war, they provided extra fruit and vegetables. The Prohibition was set up to restrict the sale and use as scarce grain supplies were reserved for soldiers abroad. In December 1917 the 18th Amendment banned production, sale and consumption of alcholic beverages. Bernard Baroch was in charge of taking care of the needless waste in production. He standardized products, established priorities for shipment of important goods, set prices to encourage factories to turn out goods quickly. By altering bike designs saved the War Industries Bond 2,000 tons of steel for war goods. Practical hysteria towards Germans and traces of German influence were repressed in American society. Sauerkraut was changed to 'Liberty cabbage' and hamburgers were renamed 'Salisbury Steak'. The speaking of German language in public was banned in half the States by 1918. German literary works disappeared from libraries, streets were renamed and the careers of German musicians suffered. When some Germans refused to by war bonds they met violence. There were more jobs for women and African Americans. 1 million women proceded to enter the workforce and the Women's Bureau was set up. There was a great migration of African Americans from Sounth to North. As Immigration had been cut off there were more job opportunities for all.

It was stereotyping against Germans because they fought against us.

One of the obstacles that Americans overcame in World War One included a low number of men who were available to work in factories and in farming during the war. Women often took over these jobs in order to keep families together.
