EFFECTS of the Great War Political, Economic, and Social effects of WWI on the United States

America Adjusts to Peace FLU EPIDEMIC GRIPS THE NATION September 1918-Deadly strain of influenza appeared Originally a bird flu that mutated to spread to humans Originated in the US and spread! Sense of doom and dread!

Spread of Influenza in 1918

WOMEN AND AFRICAN AMERICANS FACE NEW REALITY 1920’s: Women had fewer jobs due to men coming back home Soldiers returning: now in competition to find jobs with African Americans Race Riots erupted Chicago, Illinois (1919); (1921) Tulsa, Oklahoma

INFLATION LEADS TO LABOR UNREST After the war, people began to spend $$$$ on consumer goods Scarcity led to the INFLATION, the rise in prices Farmers had a tough time! (Surplus of food caused prices to go down!) Workers wanted to strike!

The Red Scare FEAR OF COMMUNISM STARTS THE RED SCARE COMMUNISM: Ideology called for revolution as a prelude to the death of capitalism (What US is) Red Scare: Widespread fear that communists and radicals were plotting revolution Bomb threats! Palmer Raids carried out: Police arrested thousands of people, some were radical, others not. Hundreds of radicals were deported

SACCO and VANZETTI ARE EXECUTED Italian immigrants who were known anarchists (did not believe in having a government) Both charged with murder Eyewitnesses said: “The murderers looked ‘Italian.’” Found guilty pretty much right away! By 1920, the hysteria was gone!

AMERICANS EMBRACE NORMALCY A QUIET AMERICAN GIANT: America is the industrial power of the world after the Great War Europeans had to borrow money on credit from American businesses so they could have our goods We became the largest CREDITOR NATION (other countries owed more than we owed them)

THE WORLD ADJUSTS TO A NEW WORLD ORDER US came out of the war strong and confident; other countries did not! Where does the US now stand?
