Abstract

World war I, lasting from 1914 to 1918, was a culmination of entangling alliances, new technology and empirical greed. The great war, as it is sometimes called, brought the whole of Europe into years of stalemate, death and destruction. United States soldiers were spared most of the war, and the country profited economically as a main producer of munitions, war machinery, and goods, as well as a source of financial backing for the Allies. Late American involvement in the war allowed for domestic social issues to remain at the forefront of national politics for the early years of European combat. As such, the American women's movement actively organized strikes and demonstrations, and lobbied for backing of the Federal woman-suffrage amendment while Europe was engulfed in war. Nonetheless, the U.S.'s official entrance into the war in 1917 placed restraints on female suffragists. Wilson, the American president at the time, encouraged women to take part in the war effort and make the sacrifices necessary to benefit the Allies and the American military. This signified that women's enfranchisement would have to wait for the end of the war.
