The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths.

  • 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.

    World War I and The Art of War: WWI Posters from the Collection of Oscar Jacobson OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The beginnings of World War I (WWI) in Europe began long before the United States joined the Great War. In June of 1914, the Archduke of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassi- nated. The Austrians suspected the Serbians, and declared war one month later. The chain reaction after these events are what would become the Great War, or the First World War. The United States did not formally enter the war until it declared war on Germany in 1917. The war had many effects on the United States and Oklahomans before entrance into war in 1917. There were supporters and opponents of the war, opponents of the Selective Service Act, and effects on the United States' economy. Crop prices fell and rose, rations began to conserve for the war, and free speech was ques- tioned. Many of these issues lasted throughout the war.
