Preview: ... World War, or Great War was an international conflict that in 1914–18 embroiled most of the nations of Europe along with Russia, theUnited States, theMiddle East, and other regions. The war pitted the Central Powers—mainly Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey—against the Allies—mainly France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States. It ended with the defeat of the Central Powers. The war was virtually unprecedented in the slaughter, carnage, and destruction it caused.       World War I was one of the great events in U.S. history. It led to the fall of four great imperial dynasties (in Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey), resulted in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and, in its destabilization of European society, laid the groundwork for World War II.   The outbreak of war in August 1914 was generally greeted with confidence and jubilation by the peoples of Europe, among whom it inspired a wave of patriotic feeling and celebration. Few people imagined how long or how disastrous a war between the great nations of Europe could be, and most believed that their country’s side would be victorious within a matter of months. The war was welcomed either patriotically, as a defensive one imposed by national necessity, or idealistically, as one for upholding right against might, the sanctity of treaties, and international morality.             Another  of the biggest turning points would have to be the Great Depression.  This changed the United States in so many ways.  Approximately the same time, there was a huge drought throughout many states in the Great Plains and westerly creating what was called the Dust Bowl.  Farms were destroyed and food was scarce.  Farmers had to leave what was their homes and their livelihoods to go elsewhere and try to make a living.  At the same time, people lost fortunes in the crash of the stock market.  Banks went under and people lost all their life savings.  For the first time in America, there was unprecedented poverty and despair across the country.  Speculate as to why women earned the right to vote in the frontier states of the West before eastern and southern states.           In the frontier ...

They were considered as not quite as smart and not quite as able to make decisions.  Women were supposed to be, for the most part, protected and taken care of.  They were not considered to be able to be informed or intelligent enough to make such a major decision as voting.
