well, first off, they can't buy a substitute for themselves in wwii. second, more people were eager to fight wwi than wwii due to the president's great encouragements. in wwii, there were protests and demonstrations, so that totally lowered the people's moral. in wwii, i don't think blacks were allowed to fight in it. i'm not sure, but i don't think they were.
that's all for now. try websites.

Thx :) I'll look at those sites
See, I checked them out and they only address the differences in the war. I need to know the differences in America's role.
my understanding is that america did not play a very great role in WWI. i may be wrong but i think we came in at the end of WWI but we were a decisive factor in WWII. there was actually greater support for WWII because of Pearl Harbor. in WWI there were no attacks on American soil.
i don't know how much you need but i have a load of work i need to do right now and that is all i can think of off the top of my head. if you need more just hit me up and i will respond asap.
all in all, it's just another brick in the wall...

Thx. It took me a while to figure that out but yeah... now I just have to figure out how I can support that enough for the test. Let's see...
The major difference between WWI and WWII is the way American's reacted to the situations. In WWI, a large portion of the country was fed up with the imperialism of the time. We were extremely hesitant to relinquish our isolationism to join the outside world. However, we were politically and strategically forced into WWI. After Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine-warfare, we had no other choice but to enter the war. We were forced to play our hand, no matter how reluctant we were. This largely affected our overall role in the war. We entered the war towards the end which didn't allow for much military action. Also, the debt of World War 1 caused the stock market crash in the 1920's which caused the Great Depression. The "Great War" also ended in a Treaty which lead to the second World War. There were really no positive effects of WWI.
On the other hand, World War II was well supported by Americans. Never before had a country attacked us so openly on American soil. We were locked and loaded. The draft started again in full swing. Soldiers were not allowed to buy substitutes or pay to be exempt. It wasn't just women who took the White Man's place in the workforce. Blacks, Indians, and even Mexican Braceros broke into the workforce. The economy undertook an huge overhaul and redirected all nonessential production towards the war. Henry Ford began making bombers instead of cars and other companies followed suite. Men were proud to go to war. It was a cause they could believe in. WWII also ended in a very different manner. Germany surrendered unconditionally with absolutely no compromise. Japan ended the war being the first country to experience the strength and devestation of a nuclear attack. Excluding the Red Scare and the Cold War, the results of WWII were quite positive. A vast array of careers were available to women and minorities. The "youth culture" thrived and people finally began to think for themselves and not believe all of the propaganda. They renewed their lust for protest and rebellion which are the exact ideals this country was founded upon.
Tell me what you think.
you made a few statements there that you need to be carefull with. first, the war debt of WWI did not cause the stock market crash of 1929. it may have caused events that caused events that caused the crash but the link is not really significant.
second, be careful with saying whether a war had possative or negative effects. you can talk about the each effect indevidually and say whether it was possative or negative but don't make blanket statements.
you did make several key points which i aproove of (though my oppinion does not count for much). Unrestricted submarine warfare is key. it was also good to mention the change in work force though you may want to mention the war commitees. also possably cite the meatless mondays or tuesdays (i don't remember which) that truman asked for.
basically, look for as many facts as you cna that pertain to your main points and pack them in.

Thx for the input :) I'm gonna tweak it a little and ask my friend who's taking the test now. MY teacher is either REALLY DUMB or REALLY SMART. There are two blocks for the APUSH. They are on the same day and are separated by AP Calc which most of the APUSH kids have as well. He doesn't change the tests so we know exactly what's going to be on. Then, he uses the multiple choice answers in the teachers addition for the tests and you can find those answers online. The only challenging part are the essay questions. MOst think he's dumb but I think he does it on purpose to make himself look good. He can be like, "Hey, look, my whole class is passing." IDK Thx again ^__^
Some historians have argued that US reluctantly joined WWI in order to protect our business interests - we loaned them money, didn't want them to be defeated, then we couldn't get our money back. Protect our investments. So that's why we wait so long (last year of the war). Before that, we operated behind the scenes in the international arms trade. US was biggest manufacturer in the world since 1890s.
World War Two we stuck to the same plan (Destroyer Deal w/ Britain, Lend-Lease Act, etc.) for about 2 years (1939-45), because the American people won't support Roosevelt in a war that "doesn't involve us". But then the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Opinions changed.
