While World War I was more of a link of the chain of events in the early 20th century, its historical reputation as "the war to end all wars" has carried through the decades since. This series of slides, though short, shows the major U.S. operations in France during World War I, the casualties from all sides, and the results of the Harding's victorious election 1920. A strong lecture to connect these different pieces of information would be beneficial.
