Georgia’s History:

• World War I began in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary.

• The murderer was a Bosnian terrorist.

• The archduke’s murder caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand with his Wife, Sophie, and 3 Children

1910

• Military alliances made the conflict grow larger.

• Russia came to Serbia’s aid.

• Germany declared war on Russia and France.

• The US stayed out of the war at first.

• President Woodrow Wilson thought that the US should remain neutral and that isolationism was the best option for the country.

• However, the US did have a little involvement.• US merchant ships were sending food to

devastated areas in Europe and helping block supplies from reaching Germany.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson

• Things changed when Germany began using its submarines to sink ships in the Atlantic Ocean.

• In May 1915, a German U-boat sank the British passenger liner Lusitania.• 1,198 people died, including 128 Americans.

• This angered many Americans and it went against the American belief of freedom of seas.

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Lusitania 1907

• Germany continued to sink ships because they were trying to keep supplies from reaching Great Britain.

• Americans sympathized with the Allies and were concerned about the safety of US ships.

• The last straw was when several US ships were sunk in February and March 1917.

German U-boat1910

• On April 6, 1917, the United States entered the was as an ally of Great Britain and France and declared war on Germany.

• The US military drafted 4 million men and was sending thousands to Europe every day.

• Nearly 100,000 Georgians served in the armed forces.

• The US Navy sent supplies, Marines, and battleships to fight the Central Powers in Europe.

Registering for the Army

1917

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

• Georgia contributed to the war effort in many ways.

• The state’s textile mills produced fabric that was used for uniforms and blankets.

• The increased demand for food and supplies brought prosperity to Georgia’s farmers as they produced food, livestock, cotton, and tobacco.

• The value of Georgia’s cotton crop tripled between 1900 and 1916—making farmers more prosperous than they had been in over 60 years.

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

• Many military bases in Georgia played key roles in preparing men for war.

• Fort McPherson near Atlanta, was the oldest and dated back to 1889.

• Over 10,000 wounded soldiers were treated at General Hospital No. 6 at Fort McPherson.

• General John Pershing ordered the opening of Fort Benning near Columbus in 1917 to train thousands of troops.

• The US War Department established a camp at Fort Oglethorpe to hold German merchant sailors as prisoners.

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

• America’s entry into the war gave the Allies the extra power they needed to defeat the Central Powers.

• In 1918, American troops fought the final battles of WWI.

• In November 11, 1918, the Central Powers surrendered to the Allies and signed an armistice that ended the war.

© 2014 Brain Wrinkles

Celebrating the End of WWI

• People in Georgia and across the US celebrated the allied victory and return of the soldiers.

• They also mourned those who died – the death toll is estimated to be 10 million people.

• Even though Georgians hoped they would never have to witness such a terrible war again, many of them did just 20 years later…
