1920's in class assignment

The president is stating that alcohol is the main cause for everything. He doesn't blame anything on the war or other things like that. He thinks that it is immoral to drink, sell, and creat alcohol.

Cartoons:

This cartoon is depicting that alcohol is the main cause among hostility towards people, especially their loved ones. It can cause many problems in the household.

This cartoon is showing what the causes of alcohol are. It shows how people will act when drinking and after drinking it. This picture is also showing how it is immoral and how you can pretty much lose everything such as friends and self respect.

Russian Revolution
This led us to war because Russia moved from a monarchy state to a communist state and President Wilson urged the U.S. to enter the war.

World War Part 1

1. Imperialism- caused rivalry among countries
2. Militarism- war is inevitable and could not be avoided
3. Alliances- they backed each other up during war
4. Nationalism- this caused war because countries looked out for their own interests and didn't care whose feet they stepped on. 

American Imperialism

Reasons for Imperialism:

1. Economic-natural resources and new markets
2. Nationalism
3. Military-advanced technology and growing armies
4. Humanitarian-duty to spread blessings

I think this picture is showing that America wants to conquer other nations and add them to their territory so they will be a bigger country in the end.
