Answer:

Repercussions from events leading up to the First World War were felt as much in Texas as in the rest of the country. Germany’s desire to involve Mexico in a war with the U.S. in order to distract the nation’s support of its Allies in Europe produced a particularly disruptive environment along the Texas/Mexican border during the first part of the 20th century, an environment already in turmoil from the Mexican Revolution. In the run up to WWI, almost two hundred thousand Texans joined the armed forces as well as four hundred and fifty women (serving as nurses). Three Texans would be awarded the Medal of Honor and over five thousand would die before it was over.

Step-by-step explanation:

WWI had a great impact on Texas and the need for oil. ... Texans also helped by planting extra “war gardens.” Texan farmers devoted new areas of their land for additional food crops. War industries established in the state provided a temporary benefit to the nation.
