WW1 Homefront

military expansion in Europe turned into an intense arms race

During World War I, approximately 1,500 individuals were interned in the United Kingdom on suspicion of being enemy aliens or spies. The exact number of spies is difficult to determine, as many were interned without clear evidence of espionage activities. Additionally, internment policies varied by country, leading to differing numbers of suspected spies being detained. Overall, the internment of suspected spies and enemy aliens reflected the heightened security concerns of the time.

As of November 20, 2003, approximately 150,000 U.S. troops were deployed in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This number included forces from various branches of the military, with additional coalition troops from allied nations also participating in the conflict. The overall troop levels fluctuated throughout the war, influenced by changing strategies and security conditions.

During World War I and II, a significant number of African Americans migrated from the rural South to northern cities, a movement known as the Great Migration. They sought better economic opportunities, escaping racial discrimination and seeking jobs in industrial sectors that were booming due to wartime production. This migration significantly impacted the demographics and cultural landscape of northern cities, leading to the establishment of vibrant African American communities.

Yes, rockets were used in World War I, although they were not as prominent as conventional artillery. The British developed the "Kite Balloon" for reconnaissance, which sometimes used rockets for defense against enemy aircraft. Additionally, the German military experimented with various types of rockets, including the use of them in the form of incendiary and smoke projectiles. Overall, while rockets played a role, they were overshadowed by traditional artillery and other weapons during the conflict.

Concrete ships are ships built of steel and ferrocement (reinforced concrete) instead of more traditional materials, such as steel or wood. The advantage of ferrocement construction is that materials are cheap and readily available, while the disadvantages are that construction labor costs are high, as are operating costs. (Ferrocement ships require thick hulls, which means extra mass to push and less space for cargo.) During the late 19th century, there were concrete river barges in Europe, and during both World War I and World War II, steel shortages lead the US military to order the construction of small fleets of ocean-going concrete ships, the largest of which was the SS Selma. Few concrete ships were completed in time to see wartime service during World War I, but during 1944 and 1945, concrete ships and barges were used to support U.S. and British invasions in Europe and the Pacific. Since the late 1930s, there have also been ferrocement pleasure boats.

The first tanks were constructed of riveted steel. During the Vietnam War, the M48 Patton tanks were built of cast one piece steel. After the war, today's tanks are made of classified synthetics.

The British government took away the power of private banks to issue money as debt with interest attached and minted their own money, the Bradbury Pound, as credit with no debt attached to it.

The violent event in 1914 helped start World War 1 was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

The spreading illness that became a pandemic was first widely known about when reported in the Spanish newspapers, which were some of the only sources of world news during that period of World War 1. Because the news about it came from Spain, people began referring to it as the Spanish flu and it stuck. It is believed to have originated in the US and then spread worldwide, it was not believed to have started in Spain, although the name implies that.

They were much more methodical and widespread in WW2, as planes became more advanced in terms of payload delivery and range.

Wartime conditions are attributed partly as the reasons for the spread of the Spanish Flu in 1918 during WW1, causing it to be a pandemic that killed millions world wide. Soldiers were moving from home front to battle field and then home again taking the influenza virus with them around the globe during the war. It is believed to have started in the US and then spread. The conditions of men in foxholes, closely packed in transport and in barracks helped the virus spread due to their close proximities. The physical and mental stress of war, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and bacterial infections from wounds can contribute to cause the immune systems of the troops to be overwhelmed and at less than peak functioning.
