ABOUT WORLD WAR I


With this exhibition we recognize the one-hundredth anniversary of the United States involvement in World War I, April 6, 1917.  

World War I was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history affecting over thirty-eight million people.  Over seventeen million deaths and over twenty million wounded, the war reshaped the landscape in Europe politically.  It was the first use of weapons of mass destruction, poison gas, and the wide spread use of machine guns, not to mention the 1918 influenza pandemic from prisoners of war and military personnel.
