    29004_U01.qxd 2/6/06 3:54 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 American Variety and/or Foreign Features The Throes of Film Distribution Imagine that you are a young woman who has decided to join one of your store clerk or stenographer friends going to the movies after work in down- town Des Moines, Iowa, in the spring of 1913. On Sunday, May 4, you read the Des Moines News and know what programs will be playing in at least four moving picture theaters that next week.1 On Tuesday, for instance, what are your choices? At the Casino (just opened in December) is Pathé’s Weekly (a newsreel), Essanay’s The Crazy Prospector, and Vitagraph’s Cinders. At the Fam- ily, Bison-101’s two-reel The Indian’s Secret and Billy’s First Quarrel. At the Unique, Majestic’s two-reel Children of St. Anne and Her Sister’s Secret. The Colonial has a special feature (running all week), the five-reel Satan or “The Drama of Humanity . from Creation to the present time.”2 Which theater you and your friend choose could depend on several factors, but, as a fre- quent moviegoer, you could count on familiarity and the relative quality of the variety programs at three of these theaters, each changed daily and sup- plied by a different film service or distributor: the Casino (General Film), the Family (Universal), and the Unique (Mutual). You also could be attracted, however, by Satan’s promotion as a sensational historical epic or by its nov- elty as a special feature (from Europe, no less), since the only previous film of four reels or more to play in the city was Queen Elizabeth, with Sarah

  • African Americans in Military Service: Civil War Through World War I
    African Americans in Military Service Civil War Through World War I National cemeteries were created in the 1860s to honor those who serve in America’s armed forces, a mission that continues today. The NCA system and its memorial features have expanded over more than 150 years, and reflect the diversity of demographic groups who answered the call. At many locations segregation in life meant segregation in death; but the Army was insistent that white or black, U.S. veterans deserved burial in a national cemetery. The struggles and injustice endured by African-American service members in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries echoed the social and political climate of civilian life. African Americans served in all U.S. conflicts: but the years between the Civil War and the Korean War -- after desegregation was mandated in 1948 -- were the most contentious. The fight for racial equality is evidenced through the recognition of veteran activists, pilots, heroes, artists, journalists, and sadly, victims. Their inspirational stories helped advance American civil rights, and what follows are some accounts of African-American service from the Civil War through World War I, as reflected in VA national cemeteries. U.S. Colored Troops in the Civil War During the Civil War, 179,000 African Americans are estimated to have served as part of six units of U.S. Colored Troops (USCT), segregated into 175 regiments. These were the first organized units for black soldiers and these men, many formerly enslaved, enthusiastically volunteered to fight for the Union. As soldiers they fulfilled combat and labor functions. By the war’s end, black soldiers represented 10 percent of the Union Army and about 25 percent of the naval force.

  • Chapter 19: World War I and Its Aftermath, 1914-1920
    World War I and Its Aftermath 1914–1920 Why It Matters The United States reluctantly entered World War I after German submarines violated American neutrality. After the war ended, President Wilson supported the Treaty of Versailles, believing its terms would prevent another war. The U.S. Senate, however, rejected the treaty. It did not want the country to be tied to European obligations. Instead, Americans turned their attention to the difficult adjustment to peacetime. The Impact Today The experience of World War I had a long-term effect on American history. • The United States continues to be involved in European affairs. • The horrors of the conflict helped reshape how people view warfare. The American Vision Video The Chapter 19 video, “Cousins: Royalty and World War I,” explains how royal marriages and complex political alliances contributed to the outbreak of war in Europe. 1913 • Woodrow Wilson begins his first presidential term 1915 • The Lusitania is sunk 1917 ▲ • U.S. enters war Wilson 1913–1921 ▲ ▲ 1913 1915 1917 ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ 1914 1915 1916 1917 • Archduke Franz • Italy joins Allies • British suppress • Bolshevik Revolution Ferdinand in war Easter Rebellion begins in October assassinated; war • Japan gains in Ireland • Balfour Declaration begins in Europe rights in Chinese • Battle of the Somme favors setting up a Jewish territory begins in July homeland in Palestine 574 American soldiers in the 23rd Infantry fire on German positions in the Argonne Forest. 1918 • Congress passes Sedition Act • Battle of Argonne Forest begins in September • Armistice ends fighting on 1919 Race riots and strikes November 11 • take place in Northern cities • Red Scare and Palmer HISTORY raids target Harding Communists in the U.S.

  • Better Now Than Later Jack Snyder the Paradox of 1914 As Everyone’S Favored Year for War
    Better Now Than Later Better Now Than Later Jack Snyder The Paradox of 1914 as Everyone’s Favored Year for War One reason why Europe went to war in 1914 is that all of the continental great powers judged it a favorable moment for a ªght, and all were pessimistic about postponing the ªght until later. On its face, this explanation constitutes a paradox. Still, each power had a superªcially plausible reason for thinking this was true. Germany wanted to ªght to forestall the planned future growth of Russian military might. France wanted to ªght because the Balkan casus belli would bring Russia into the war, guaranteeing that France would not be left to face the German army alone. Austria wanted to ªght because Germany had given it a blank check to help solve its endemic, existential security problems in the Balkans. Russia wanted to ªght because, unlike in some previous Balkan crises, its army was reasonably prepared and France was already committed to ªght. All of these reasons, however, especially Russia’s, prompt crucial questions in ways that merely deepen the paradox. The basic facts about the military and economic capabilities of the powers, their likely war plans, and their domestic political constraints were more or less common knowledge. What would hap- pen in the event of war was fraught with great uncertainty, but this largely shared unknown did not include huge asymmetries of private knowledge. Moreover, key statesmen in each of the powers considered defeat and social upheaval to lie within the scope of possibility. In a dark moment, German Chief of the General Staff Helmuth von Moltke said that he expected “a war which will annihilate the civilization of almost the whole of Europe for de- cades to come” and bring pressures for revolution.1 German Chancellor Jack Snyder is Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science and the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University.
