Problem
The United States had done its best to avoid a war in Europe and entered late in the war. Indeed, even after the US entered the war it took over a year to get mobilized. However, the efforts of the United States did help win the war.
• Why did it take so long for the United States to mobilize after war was declared?
• Why was rationing so important to the war effort?
• How did propaganda keep people back home behind the war effort?
