Happy to help you!
World War I was a conflict that created a huge impact on the 'idea' of what a war could be at the time. Populations across the globe had never seen or imagined a war as devastating as WWI at the time.
It was the 'War to end all wars'.
At the time the main tasks that describe that home front during this war, were the following:
- Enlist or bring support to relatives in the army.
- Purchase war bonds from the government.
- Work in a wartime industry
- Volunteer with organizations like the Red Cross
- Save sugar for the soldiers
- Grow crops
- Change diet, eat more of certain foods, and less of others.
- Ration sources
- Use of propaganda to lead and stimulate the nation towards a goal
Based on the previous bulletpoints, you correct answers would be:
> Americans conserved fuel to support the war effort.
> The government used propaganda to secure loyalty to the war effort.
> Americans purchased Liberty Bonds to finance the war effort. (However, these where just called 'war bonds'.
Have a great 2019!
