President Wilson vowed to keep the United States neutral in World War I. In this compelling book, learn how the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and a telegram from Germany to Mexico convinced the American government to declare war in 1917. Find out how the American people responded at home, and how fresh troops from the United States helped re-energize the Allies’ fight.
This fascinating book describes Canada’s coming of age on the battlefields of World War I. When Britain declared war on Germany, it meant that Canada was at war, too. Read about the incredible feats of Canadian flying ace Billy Bishop, and the victories of Canadian “shock troops” at Ypres, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, and Passchendaele, which helped give Canada a presence on the world stage.
