- World War I
- Description
- 1914-1919. After formally entering the First World War in 1917, the U.S. employed a draft of all male citizens to fill the ranks of its armed services, while women took on more important roles at home. As a result, women won the right to vote with the 19th Amendment, while Black soldiers faced renewed racism upon returning from the war. While the Armistice ending the war was signed in November 1918, the formal terms for the end of the war were concluded with the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919.
