26. 3 Winning the War
LEQ: How did the Allies win World War I?
The nations involved in World War I needed to
commit to a strategy of total war to support a
modern mechanized war. They:
• Imposed universal military conscription
• Set up systems to arm, transport, and supply armies
• Raised taxes and borrowed money
• Rationed food and other products
• Set prices and forbade strikes
• total war – channeling all of a nation’s resources into a war
effort
• conscription – “the draft,” which required all young men to be
ready for military or other service
International law permitted wartime
blockades to confiscate contraband, but not
items such as food.
In 1915, Germany said
it would use U-boats to
sink all ships carrying
goods to Britain.
Britain’s navy
blocked ships
from carrying
any goods to
Germany, and
many Germans
went hungry.
• contraband – during wartime, military supplies and raw materials
needed to make military supplies that may legally be confiscated
by any belligerent
A German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British
passenger ship Lusitania in May 1915.
U.S. President Woodrow
Wilson threatened to cut
off diplomatic relations
with Germany over the
issue.
Germany agreed to warn
passenger ships, thus
stopping submarine
warfare for the moment.
• Lusitania – a British liner torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine in May 1915
• Exhorted civilians to enlist or to loan money to the
government
• Played up atrocities committed by the
opposing side
• Censored the press and the arts to keep upsetting
war news from the public
Both sides in the conflict waged a
propaganda war. They:
• propaganda – spreading ideas to promote or damage a cause
• atrocity – a horrible act committed against innocent people
Their work helped convince many governments to
finally give them the vote.
Total war meant that women had to take over the
jobs of men who left to serve in the military.
• War industries
• Manufacturing
• Nursing
• Farming
• Armed forces
Women
worked in:
Russia’s withdrawal meant that Germany only needed to
fight on the Western Front.
In Russia the protests set off a revolution that brought down
the Russian monarchy.
Early in 1918, Russia’s new leader signed a treaty with
Germany that withdrew Russia from the war.
In 1917, as morale fell, soldiers from many
countries began to mutiny or revolt, and civilians
called for peace.
Before Germany could strike a decisive blow,
the United States joined the war.
• Cultural ties between
the U.S. and the Allies
were strong.
• Germany resumed U-boat
attacks in early 1917.
• The 1917 Zimmerman
note proved Germany
was trying to rally Mexico
against the U.S.
Ships sunk by U-boats,
May 1917–Jan. 1918
In April 1917, President Wilson asked the United
States Congress to declare war on Germany.
Before the Americans
arrived, Germany made
one last big push on the
Western Front.
By 1918, two million U.S. soldiers had joined
the fighting on the Western Front and helped
reverse any gains the Germans had achieved.
• German generals told William II that the war could
not be won; William II fled into exile in
the Netherlands.
• Austria-Hungary was already on the verge of
collapse. The empire broke apart.
• Bulgaria and the Ottoman empire asked for peace.
The new German government sought an armistice
with the Allies, and the Great War officially ended
on November 11, 1918.
Hoping to
resolve WWI
and all future
wars, Wilson
urged adoption
of his Fourteen
Points.
Wilson’s Fourteen Points included:
• Freedom of the seas
• Free trade
• Arms reductions
• An end to secret treaties
• Self-determination for Eastern
Europe
• An association of nations to keep
the peace
• self-determination – the right of people to choose their own form
of government
• armistice – an agreement to end fighting
The Allies were weakened when Russia left the
war, but were strengthened when the United States
joined. The Germans attempted one last drive, but
it failed and morale in Germany plummeted. The
Allies were able to drive the Germans back. The
government in Germany toppled and the new one
asked for peace.
