I regret having signed up to go to war. I am currently in a trench, about 15 miles south of the German border, holding off the rats, lice, and German soldiers. Massive bombings are taking place everywhere, bursting my eardrums, with mud and shrapnel flying every direction imaginable. Machine gun fire rings in my ears, and I fear it will never escape. The smell of mustard gas flows through the trenches, but with our gas masks we are protected. Many of the men have had the misfortune of getting…

America chose to be neutral when World War I and World War II began in Europe. With America’s positon on neutrality, each war presented their own dilemmas in addition to many similarities.

They’re impossible to get rid of. We’ve tried shooting them out multiple times but they always come back to no avail.…

Taking this into consideration we can firmly determine that Spain, under the rule of…

There were many things that impacted women’s lives during World War I. Misogyny, dangerous working conditions, dealing with the loss of lover ones during the war, and having to look after a family on a low paying job are just some of the hard ships women faced during the war. This also came with many new learning experiences, new found confidence in their ability to maintain a job in the work force. As World War I began, many women realized that they would have to step up and fill the vacated…
