- The US emerged from World War I as a major economic power. The war had stimulated industrial production, and the nation's economy was booming.
- The US became a creditor nation, lending money to other countries to help them rebuild after the war.
2. Social Changes:
- The war led to increased migration from rural areas to urban areas, as people moved to take advantage of industrial jobs.
- Women gained more rights and opportunities during the war, as they took on jobs traditionally held by men. After the war, many of these women continued to work and demand equal rights.
- The war also sparked the Harlem Renaissance, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing among African Americans in Harlem, New York.
3. Political Changes:
- The war led to a shift in political power from the East Coast to the Midwest and West. This was due in part to the growth of the automotive and other industries in these regions.
- The war also led to a rise in isolationism, as many Americans wanted to avoid further foreign entanglements. This isolationist sentiment would shape US foreign policy for years to come.
- The war led to the creation of the League of Nations, an international organization designed to promote peace and cooperation. The United States did not join the League of Nations, but it did participate in some of its activities.
