How did socialist ideas influence the progressive movement in the United States? They introduced “progressive taxation” as a solution for closing the income gap between the rich and poor. They created a focus on the need for improving working conditions. They wanted massive tax cuts for the wealthy so they would spend more and pump money into the economy. They called for the government to own large corporations to improve working conditions.

How did religious leaders and institutions contribute to the progressive movement? They preached to the poor to encourage them to turn their lives around and find jobs.

Analyze the image of government inspectors. Government inspectors closely examine sides of beef at a meatpacking plant. Which of the statements does it support about progressivism? Progressives believed in the regulation of the economy to promote the public well-being. Roosevelt sought to break up monopolies. Progressives believed that key institutions like meatpacking facilities should be run by the government. Upton Sinclair’s novel The Jungle (1906) was an example of effective progressive muckraking that spurred government action.

SA Why did Roosevelt choose to vigorously enforce the Sherman Anti-Trust Act? This 1906 cartoon likens Roosevelt to the Greek legend Hercules, who as a baby strangled snakes sent from Hell to kill him. He wanted to break up companies that acted in unfair and illegal ways. He wanted to use the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to target corporations run by his political opponents. Roosevelt was committed to union movements, which forced him to break up large corporations. Roosevelt believed that big business was inherently bad.

SA Why did progressive leader Jane Addams believe churches and charities were “totally inadequate to deal with the vast numbers of the city’s disinherited”? Progressives were never religious people. Progressives believed that charities interfered with the free market Progressives came from urban areas where churches were not popular. There were too many people who needed help.

In November 1914, a delegation of African American leaders visited the White House. In this delegation was William Trotter, a Harvard-educated, African American newspaper editor who had helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Trotter said to Wilson, “Have you a ‘new freedom’ for white Americans, and a new slavery for ‘your Afro-American fellow citizens’? God forbid.” Which of the following statements are supported by this quotation? Many in the progressive movement carried racial, ethnic, and class biases. Wilson believed that race segregation was good for both blacks and whites. As a result of Wilson’s policies, African Americans stopped their traditional support of Democratic politicians in the South, which harmed his reelection in 1916. Wilson differed from Roosevelt, who had taken bold action on behalf of African American rights during his presidency.

It contained proof that the German U-boats were intentionally sinking American merchant ships, which resulted in the United States joining the war. It contained information outlining how America would require more modern weapons before joining the war; it resulted in the United States joining the war late, after taking the time to develop these advanced weapons.

How did the Battle of Verdun indicate that World War I would be different from any previous war ever fought? It was the first large-scale battle between continental European powers. Unlike previous wars, sickness was almost nonexistent among combatants at Verdun and throughout World War I. The amount of artillery expended on the battlefield devastated the countryside. Over 300,000 combatants perished during that single battle alone, indicating that World War I would be far bloodier than previous wars.

During the period when the United States remained neutral, it treated both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers equally. True False

SA A British army chaplain declared World War I to be a “Waste of Muscle, Waste of Brain, Waste of Patience, Waste of Pain … Waste of Glory, Waste of God.” What unique aspects of World War I does this quotation address? the staggering amount of money the British government had to borrow from American banks to fund its war effort. the rapid decline of church attendance in Great Britain after the war ended. the brutal nature of industrial warfare and the massive casualties it inflicted on combatants the British Empire's loss of most of its overseas colonies during the war

In this 1918 war poster, the Kaiser is shown as a spider, spinning an invisible web. Text reads, "Don't talk. The web is spun for you with invisible threads. Keep out of it. Help to destroy it. Stop = think. Ask yourself if what you were about to say might help the enemy. Spies are listening." What does the poster reveal about the fear of espionage during World War I? The “enemy” was often difficult to detect, and blended in with other Americans. Americans checked their homes frequently for wiretaps and other recording devices. Anyone could inadvertently share information that an enemy could use against America.

SA Shortly after the United States declared war on Germany, millions of young working-age men were removed from the labor force as a result of the draft. How did this change impact women’s roles in the job market? Women increasingly took industrial jobs as the men who would traditionally fill those positions were away fighting the war. Most women kept their wartime jobs in the postwar era. As the war dragged on, the shortage of men led women to serve as active-duty combat troops. Women continued to work in the traditionally domestic jobs, while older men were asked to replace younger men in the industrial sectors.

Identify how the war mobilization efforts affected Latinos and African Americans. Latinos working as farmworkers in the United States prior to the war were able to gain employment in the industrial sectors because of the economic expansion caused by the war. Many African Americans were drafted into the army and hundreds of thousands migrated north from the South in what became known as the Great Migration. African Americans and Latinos that served in the war were treated with equal rights when they returned home as war heroes. World War I provided considerable economic opportunities for both communities.

President Wilson said, “It is not the army we must train and shape for war, it is a nation.” What does this quotation illustrate about America’s readiness for war? Civilians needed to prepare to cut consumption and divert resources to the war effort. The nation needed to prepare for the loss of many American lives Women would be forced to assume greater responsibilities within the home to ensue that troops returned to comfortable accommodations. Americans needed to prepare to make sacrifices on the home front as industries were converted to meet the supply needs of the armed forces.

SA In December 1917, seven months after the United States declared war on Germany, French premier Georges Clemenceau told an American journalist, “A terrible blow is imminent. Tell your Americans to come quickly.” What was Clemenceau’s concern? Great Britain had announced that it would no longer supply troops to fight on the Western Front. The end of the war was imminent and he wanted American soldiers to come help rebuild France. The Bolsheviks’ seizure of power meant that Russia would no longer play a role in the war, and the Germans would soon launch a massive offensive along the Western Front. He wanted U.S. troops to relieve French soldiers battling German troops at Verdun.

Armistice Night in New York (1918), by George Luks, shows crowds celebrating Germany's surrender by flying American flags, in addition to the flags of other European countries such as France and Great Britain. In what ways did the entry of the United States into World War I contribute to the defeat of the Central Powers? The mobilization of over 1 million U.S. troops helped French and British troops halt and turn the German spring offensive in 1918. The 1.2 million U.S. soldiers deployed during the Meuse-Argonne offensive critically turned the tide of the war in favor of the Allied Powers. U.S. troops were responsible for the majority of the fighting in engagements between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers. The victory of U.S. troops over the Communist Bolshevik Revolution allowed them to focus their troops entirely on the Western Front.

The United States was more effective at providing monetary aid to Allied Powers with established military economies than manufacturing its own military hardware.
