The Economic Consequences of the Peace: John Maynard Keynes

Keynes attended the Versailles Conference as a delegate of the British Treasury and argued for a much more generous peace. It was a best seller throughout the world and was critical in establishing a general opinion that the Versailles Treaty was a "Carthaginian peace". It helped to consolidate American public opinion against the treaty and involvement in the League of Nations. The perception by much of the British public that Germany had been treated unfairly in turn was a crucial factor in public support for appeasement.

Bisbee Deportation of 1917

The Bisbee Deportation of 1917 was an event specific to Arizona that influenced the labor movement throughout the United States. What started as a labor dispute between copper mining companies and their workers turned into vigilante action against the allegedly nefarious activities of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.). This site is a research-based collection of primary and secondary sources for the study of the deportation of over 1,000 striking miners from Bisbee on 12 July, 1917

Archive of color film from World War I. This 6 minute video can be used before or after class as part of a lesson focusing on the advance of weaponry, the cost of the war. Viewing this through the lens of the "End of the Enlightenment" can bring more to the film than the simple message that the industrial age advanced the ways in which men could kill each other.

America's Greatest Blunder

A contrarian view of the war claims that had America not entered the war, the two sides would have thoroughly exhausted each other, leaving no victor to saddle the vanquished with an oppressive treaty. Worth a quick look at the first page for summary of author's arguments. Perhaps worth a read to flesh out causes for American involvement in the War.
