Bolshevik Revolution, 1917 • Definition: A revolution that gives Vladimir Lenin, a COMMUNIST, control of Russia. • Effect on the allied powers (Britain, France, U.S.): Russia makes a treaty with Germany (1918) and draws out of the war. • Germany launches all-out offensive against Britain, France, & the U.S.

  16. Americans Join the Fight, 1917 • American troops (called “doughboys”) begin arriving in large numbers, led by General John Pershing. • Effect on the allied powers (Britain, France, U.S.): Germany gets exhausted and starts collapsing by late 1918. • Heroism: Example = Alvin York Video

Why is it significant that the town hall was destroyed? Can you envision what these buildings and towns may have looked like before the war? How long do you think it would take to rebuild these buildings and communities? How much do you think it would cost? Can a community ever really recover from such destruction?

  20. After the War How might France's goals for postwar settlement be different from the goals of the United States?What would France probably want with respect to Germany? Why? Would those desires be reasonable? Why or why not? Why might the U.S. be able to take a more idealistic perspective?
