World War I - Google Slides Powerpoint

This unit bundles student expectations that address the rise of the United States into the position of a world power at the beginning of the twentieth century. When a German plot to involve Mexico in the war was revealed, sentiments about neutrality changed and the United States entered the war. Involvement in the First World War and the leadership President Wilson took in negotiating the peace marked another step in the United States’ emergence as a world power. An examination of the Spanish-American War, the debate about imperialism, and U.S. involvement in the First World War is important for understanding the role the United States performs in world affairs.
