Question

Using your understanding of the First World War and the role that the United States played in it, what does this graph tell us about the level of involvement of the United States in the War and the human cost of our Nation in comparison to other nations? In addition to this, how does this graph justify the treatment that the United States received at the Paris Peace talks when trying to push the idea of Wilson’s 14 Points?

Answer 1

One can deduce from the graph that among all major powers, and even among active participants that the United states despite a comparably high mobilization count took one of the fewest number of casualties on the graph, this with the fact that America joined the war years later than most, together give a strong feeling of resentment among the Entente (moreover Great Britain and it's allies), that, as the victors, disregarded the American contribution as nominal with numeric evidence supporting.
