Description
While Europe was in flames, the U.S. stayed neutral, but supplied the Allies. Unrestricted German submarine warfare led to an American Declaration of War. Interned sailors and spies sabotaged America. On Flag Day, 1917, President Wilson asked Americans to support the flag and fight espionage.
