The US had no business being involved in this war. France and Britain were doing just fine on their own. Our involvement probably did not change the eventual outcome of the war.
.....why are you proud to be an American becuase we joined at the tail end of WWI be proud about all of our other feats like the moon & even our involvement in the meiji restoration or WWII not because we fought in the end of a war :/
Rest in peace, Frank Buckles, the last surviving WWI veteran. You and those who went before you served with honor, sir, and because of you, I am proud to call myself an American.
There is no main reason why we joined world war 1, two main ones were that we didn't not want the Germans to take over France and New Britain (England) because then they wouldn't pay us the debt they owed us, and also because the u boats sunk our transportation ships that we would send to the allies in Europe it was transporting weapons but secretly.
all of you idiots out there thinking we Americans went into WWII for selfish reasons are idiots. I agree with the british out there, you handeld the Nazi's fairly, blowin em' outta youre sky's, but we saved the French, Polish, Belgiums, North Africans, and countless others, not too mention Asians, and if the Japanese didnt start with us, are Navy would've been over 100 strong, blasting the Germans outta the water, I agree with CommanderCody, and not too metion the Jewish people.
The US entered WWII because Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and a declaration of war against Japan was a declaration of war against Nazi Germany too. So before any American tries to say "we saved your ass" you did it for selfish reasons. Now, everyone, kindly stfu disrespecting the millions of innocent men who knowingly died just to give you the goddamn right to be pricks on these comments.
@100hithere What? they saved us in WW2, not 1 :p...
and besides, we could have done it without them, it would have just taken a load longer, the only reason the yanks joined in is because germany declared war on the US in an attempt to ally with Japan, so aside from that, the russians still made a larger sacrifice for us, over 1 million soldiers died on the eastern front, and they didn't claim any credit, the yanks were all like "We did it! we saved europe!"
@Joeygame1018 the notes to mexico i believe where sent in ww2 not ww1. But im not sure. The sinking of those ships aren't the main reasons we jumped into the war.
@Joeygame1018 K well i just have to check it out my self. Not saying ur wrong so dnt take it the wrong way. well journalist have played a lot in every war so i dnt doubt your info on that is incorrect
@Hpraetzel yea its of my opinion, even as an american, that the Russians don't get enough credit. They lost more men in ww2 than america and england combined.
@samtheironman95 I love America. It's my home. It's where my family lives. I just dislike the warmongering imperialist corporate plutocracy currently in power.
Axis was WW2, our enemies in WW1 were the Central Powers. and selling stuff to both sides is what we were doing, til Germany opened up unrestricted warfare using submarines trying to stop supply to the Allied powers. In fairness to Germany they did put out warning not to board ships in USA newspapers, but that's what got us involved. So it wasn't as though Wilson just sent troops over, besides were there less than 1 year
The USA should never have gotten involved in WW1. It was none of our business. We should have just sold weapons to both the allies and axis. Made some money while Europe killed themselves off.
if only franz ferdinand stayed out of sarajevo every conflict the world can trace its orgins from ww2 and world war 2 was started by unfinished business of the first world war think about it one bullet from an assasin plunged the world into 100 years of inconsistant fighting but i guess if it hadnt been then it would have happend eventualy
Love the song, and I'm very patriotic... very pro-military.
BUT this particular song (despite how great it sounds) has a horrid origin... World War One was an unnecessary conflict, and the United States wanted nothing to do with it. Woodrow Wilson, after campaigning to keep us out of the war, sent the US army to Europe as a power-grab (really as the last stage of his plan to bankrupt the British Empire).
This song was meant as pro-war propaganda (Wilson was obsessed with propaganda).
@ruderevival Ummm, it was written in support of us having just gotten involved in a world war... propaganda is par for the course, and without people signing up to fight, we lose, and the Germans take over France.
@volvicBIRDS "Johnny get your gun, get your gun" that in and of itself is gross. Its promoting war and destruction, and telling young kids to want to fight.
@ruderevival do you understand the circumstances surrounding this song? It appears that you are unaware of the history behind it. I have no problem with people being against war, but WWI was one of the wars wroth fighting.
@cachamelion Was it? I dont think so. 1 guy gets shot, one country blames it on another and declares war, then that countries allies get involved, and then the other countries allies get involved, and it eventually leads to a massive and terribly destructive war encompassing all of Europe. Sounds like a a stupid freaking waste of time, completely blown out of proportion to me.
@ruderevival Blown out of proportion.. yes. However, under the circumstances the United States did have to intervene given the potentially devastating effects that the war could have had. By which I mean hundred of millions dead and an utter destruction of Europe.
This song always gives me chills just thinking about what happened on the Western Front. Machine guns, trenches, and the near certain death most any troop told to take a trench would face when charging. And that's before we mention the gas. Not to say the Eastern Front and others weren't as horrible or worse, but so much death so easily for so little...
my teacher played this a few months ago. our schools getting redone so they had investors coming into school when they waked down the hall we were singing "Over There, Over There, Send the word, Send the word, Over There. That the yanks are coming! The yanks are coming!"
I can remember my Grannie singing parts of this song. She lost two brothers in WWI. They were all from WV. I was going to Germany in 1986 to visit. She was still bitter about the War's.
and we won't come back till it's over, over there.
anybody in the Obama white house know those words. No an exit strategy, not a retreat,
we'll be over, and we won't come back till it's over, over there.
we have the greatest fighting force in the world. and young men and women who are proud to wear their uniform, for god's sake, let them do their job...
@RDRobertDeane NorthWest Indiana Patriots are using this to tell our lazy politicians that WON'T LISTEN to us now....that we are shouting the Patriots are saying It ain't over until we get them out as we will "REMEMBER COME DECEMBER"!! It ain't over, (in Washington) until we FLIP THE HOUSE!
NorthWest Indiana Patriots are "Silent no More"!
God Bless George M. Cohan that his song is still alive and has GREAT MEANING!
@snowwolf7777 want to know who REALLY hate war? the solders, from the private on up to the top. No on in their right mind loves war. but sometimes it is necessary, even to protect whiners like you.
@snowwolf7777 yes, whiner, an not that it's any of your business, but 68-71, which is why I probably hate war more than most people. and physically disabled thanks to that war. btw, how about checking your typing (I really have no respect for someone who doesn't even know the difference between "their" and "they're". real bright. I'm thrilled that you are you are so supportive of our troops....a good feeling, alr'm ight, just like walking through the SanFrancisco airport in uniform in 1970.
@RKDiamond Let me guess, you were in W's drinking parties in Texas. Set on your ass all day and complaining about people not being patriotic.
Try wearing the uniform over sea during 2005, so much for the collation of the willing. So Grampa, your final happy you got your parade, but you can't have a single generation that not touch by war, could you?
@snowwolf7777 yep, I know you. barely made it through high school, can't spell (try having a dictionary next to you, whiner. maybe understand the difference between "their" and "they're", or "your and "you're"). the military took you. but probably threw you out when they deterined that you couldn't even make their standards, called it "for the good of the service". . and wearing the uniform overses? hmmm, was that germany? or maybe korea?
@snowwolf7777 snow, I was wrong to let myself get sucked into your world of self-hatred. I should not argue with you, you shold have our help. I hope that you will be able to come out of your angry world; I have seen this all too often and should have recognized it sooner. As a veteran, please go to your local VA, seek their assistance. They are good at that and will help you. And I truly hope that you will someday find the peace in your own personal world.
@RDRobertDeane Hey. Do you know how many young Americans have died in the MiddleEast? The war should have ended ages ago. They should focus on strategic bombing. It's easier, safer AND less Americans will die.
@ryanlim2002 I sincerely hope that I will NEVER ever depend on you for anything, nor that our county will ever have to depend on you. You really remind me of the whiny little brats who want everything handed to them. Yes, I want the boys to come home and I am just as furious that they haven't, I am even more furious that they are being prevented from doing their job. Don't think for a moment, little whiner, that I don't believe that one death in war is too many. .
And if they tried to invade us, the entire world would take up arms. Alot of the world may not like us, But they prefer us and their freedom over Being communist.
@RDRobertDeane Times have changed. The first wars were looked at in pride by the general public. But after Korea, things changed. I dono, I kind of agree with the song the priest in the show M*A*S*H wrote. "What were we ever singing for?" Why should we be proud at our ability to rob fellow humans of their lives. Is that really something worthy of pride?
@RDRobertDeane Until it's "over over there"? Are you aware the war going on isn't a conventional war like world war one was? It's an insurgency. It's -never- going to be over. Why are you okay with a perpetual state of war?
Here's what I have to say on the subject. Everyone can have different opinions, that's the whole thing about America, "Land of Free" But, when you start getting disrespectful to the Country, or the presidency, or anyone representing the antion is when people need to stop. It's not right. It doesn't matter what views you have, you still show respect when stating your opinion.s It's just what you should do, or you look like a child.
umm if you know the history of this song youd understand why its such a bullshit song. this song got a shitload of good american people to go fight in world war 1 or in other words the meaningless war. its not a patriotic song at all. listen to One by mettallica then you'll understand more. it has to do with a movie called johnny get your guns that shows the bullshit of world war one. get ur facts straight bro.
If it wasn't for this song to get America into the War, well alot more people would have died in those trenches. Because we arrived "Over There" the War ended. If we hadn't who knows how long it would have lasted.
@BroSebastian This is a very patriotic song, In WW1, while i dont believe the war was truly the fault of Germany rather Russia and France, we fought against Germany for insulting and threatening our nation. It was not a pointless war, it was a war to defend Democracy from Monarchy.
The only pointless part of the war was the Treaty of Versailles which directly led to the Rise of Hitler, WW2, and the Holocaust. Damn Frenchies and Brits always causing wars.
I know im gona get so many hate comments that are paragraphs that im not going to read and so many thumbs down but wow America, I love you. This is a great country. I love America. I have freedom. I can do what I want and write what i want. dont post some response saying your country isnt the only free country D: cause I know. I am glad to live where ican express myself and my pride and love for my country and how many thumbs down or responses i get you wont change this proud american.
The good old days someone mentions below was when we had no voice in anything and we had heroin addicts then too. Oil was cheaper. The government now injects and tortures American service men. I was Forced into retirement at the FDIC, terminated, the criminals control the banking system. THe prior regional director was shot in his head in his office in San Francisco. Search for Mobile Audit Club on Google and see my intro video as the FBI stops my investigative journalistic endeavors.
I can understand the frustration that makes you say that. Just don't confuse hating what some people in the country do with hating the country itself.
I hate what this country has done. At some point I can no longer blame the individuals when the entire country rubber-stamps their deeds with inaction. Examine, as a random example, Reagan selling missiles to Iran to fund a counterrevolution in Nicaragua (in direct violation of Congress' direction not to use public funds for said conflict). Or supporting the Israeli occupation of Gaza. Or killing civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan in two wars without causes.
Well my friend I will tell you why. I do not hate American in the sense of like "Death to American" but in my own way. They support Israel. They pay a country to terrorize innocent people. Do you know how many died in the gaza thing just a little while ago? Around 6000 people, almost half of them being kids and babies? So tell me my friend, why should I not hate america? They kill my people for no reason at all. Some would call it self defense but thats all american media junk.
those were the two events that made us join the war, but the mexican thing was not a lajit threat, mexico was in no shape to try to battle the US at that time, and our ship had some war stuff on it, just both of those acts just pissed us off
The U.S didn't get involved till the German navy sunk the Lusitanian the had U.S civilians aboard. That ended the U.S's isolationist's policy and started the U.S to be a super power
That's actually a common misconception. The U.S. joined the war when the British intercepted the Zimmerman telegram, a message from the German High command, urging Mexico to go to war with the U.S. when the U.S. would ever join the allies by itself. By the way, we did have another isolationist policy right before WW2, except the U.S. was more pro-ally that time.
Indeed, there were many reasons. The public was spoiling for a fight and all hung up on the moral issue of aiding our allies as well as the economists who knew that our allies were our allies for a reason, good economic relations. The Zimmerman note was just the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
Wilson was re elected in 1916 on the platform he kept us out of war, one month after his second inauguration be asks congress for a declaration of war against Germany....and got it.
bottom line we had just cause to go into every conflict and war we have entered I am including Vietnam and Korea due to the fact the domino effect has been proven correct look at terrorism
as long as humans continue to exist, war is something that will continue to occur. It is something that is inevitable and america was forced into this conflict so don't say you want to slap president wilson. sneauxangel, ur so stupid. read ur history for once before declaring such a pointless opinion.
idk why people think the word yankie is an insult XD its a comploment

@snowwolf7777 yes, whiner, an not that it's any of your business, but 68-71, which is why I probably hate war more than most people. and physically disabled thanks to that war. btw, how about checking your typing (I really have no respect for someone who doesn't even know the difference between "their" and "they're". real bright. I'm thrilled that you are you are so supportive of our troops....a good feeling, alr'm ight, just like walking through the SanFrancisco airport in uniform in 1970.

@RKDiamond Let me guess, you were in W's drinking parties in Texas. Set on your ass all day and complaining about people not being patriotic.
Try wearing the uniform over sea during 2005, so much for the collation of the willing. So Grampa, your final happy you got your parade, but you can't have a single generation that not touch by war, could you?
snowwolf7777 1 year ago
@snowwolf7777 yep, I know you. barely made it through high school, can't spell (try having a dictionary next to you, whiner. maybe understand the difference between "their" and "they're", or "your and "you're"). the military took you. but probably threw you out when they deterined that you couldn't even make their standards, called it "for the good of the service". . and wearing the uniform overses? hmmm, was that germany? or maybe korea?

@RKDiamond Wow, are two biggest bases, how did you guess? Since you don't want to be nice.
It's not my fault your generation can't fight a war, but at least you got free pot.

@snowwolf7777 snow, I was wrong to let myself get sucked into your world of self-hatred. I should not argue with you, you shold have our help. I hope that you will be able to come out of your angry world; I have seen this all too often and should have recognized it sooner. As a veteran, please go to your local VA, seek their assistance. They are good at that and will help you. And I truly hope that you will someday find the peace in your own personal world.

@RDRobertDeane Hey. Do you know how many young Americans have died in the MiddleEast? The war should have ended ages ago. They should focus on strategic bombing. It's easier, safer AND less Americans will die.

@ryanlim2002 I sincerely hope that I will NEVER ever depend on you for anything, nor that our county will ever have to depend on you. You really remind me of the whiny little brats who want everything handed to them. Yes, I want the boys to come home and I am just as furious that they haven't, I am even more furious that they are being prevented from doing their job. Don't think for a moment, little whiner, that I don't believe that one death in war is too many. .

@RDRobertDeane Times have changed. The first wars were looked at in pride by the general public. But after Korea, things changed. I dono, I kind of agree with the song the priest in the show M*A*S*H wrote. "What were we ever singing for?" Why should we be proud at our ability to rob fellow humans of their lives. Is that really something worthy of pride?

@RDRobertDeane Until it's "over over there"? Are you aware the war going on isn't a conventional war like world war one was? It's an insurgency. It's -never- going to be over. Why are you okay with a perpetual state of war?

Here's what I have to say on the subject. Everyone can have different opinions, that's the whole thing about America, "Land of Free" But, when you start getting disrespectful to the Country, or the presidency, or anyone representing the antion is when people need to stop. It's not right. It doesn't matter what views you have, you still show respect when stating your opinion.s It's just what you should do, or you look like a child.

umm if you know the history of this song youd understand why its such a bullshit song. this song got a shitload of good american people to go fight in world war 1 or in other words the meaningless war. its not a patriotic song at all. listen to One by mettallica then you'll understand more. it has to do with a movie called johnny get your guns that shows the bullshit of world war one. get ur facts straight bro.

If it wasn't for this song to get America into the War, well alot more people would have died in those trenches. Because we arrived "Over There" the War ended. If we hadn't who knows how long it would have lasted.

@BroSebastian This is a very patriotic song, In WW1, while i dont believe the war was truly the fault of Germany rather Russia and France, we fought against Germany for insulting and threatening our nation. It was not a pointless war, it was a war to defend Democracy from Monarchy.
The only pointless part of the war was the Treaty of Versailles which directly led to the Rise of Hitler, WW2, and the Holocaust. Damn Frenchies and Brits always causing wars.

The good old days someone mentions below was when we had no voice in anything and we had heroin addicts then too. Oil was cheaper. The government now injects and tortures American service men. I was Forced into retirement at the FDIC, terminated, the criminals control the banking system. THe prior regional director was shot in his head in his office in San Francisco.

I can understand the frustration that makes you say that. Just don't confuse hating what some people in the country do with hating the country itself.

I hate what this country has done. At some point I can no longer blame the individuals when the entire country rubber-stamps their deeds with inaction. Examine, as a random example, Reagan selling missiles to Iran to fund a counterrevolution in Nicaragua (in direct violation of Congress' direction not to use public funds for said conflict). Or supporting the Israeli occupation of Gaza. Or killing civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan in two wars without causes.

Despise? Why? What reasons would cause you hate the nation itself?
Chickidydow 2 years ago 2
Well my friend I will tell you why. I do not hate American in the sense of like "Death to American" but in my own way. They support Israel. They pay a country to terrorize innocent people. Do you know how many died in the gaza thing just a little while ago? Around 6000 people, almost half of them being kids and babies? So tell me my friend, why should I not hate america? They kill my people for no reason at all. Some would call it self defense but thats all american media junk.

rest0201 and pruett365 youre both right
those were the two events that made us join the war, but the mexican thing was not a lajit threat, mexico was in no shape to try to battle the US at that time, and our ship had some war stuff on it, just both of those acts just pissed us off

The U.S didn't get involved till the German navy sunk the Lusitanian the had U.S civilians aboard. That ended the U.S's isolationist's policy and started the U.S to be a super power
rest0201 3 years ago
That's actually a common misconception. The U.S. joined the war when the British intercepted the Zimmerman telegram, a message from the German High command, urging Mexico to go to war with the U.S. when the U.S. would ever join the allies by itself. By the way, we did have another isolationist policy right before WW2, except the U.S. was more pro-ally that time.
pruett365 3 years ago
that's with the Germans right? We were already in the war, with Japan

I think another reason for the US going into WW1 was to protect its substantial economic interests in Great Britain.
backbiter41 3 years ago 2
Indeed, there were many reasons. The public was spoiling for a fight and all hung up on the moral issue of aiding our allies as well as the economists who knew that our allies were our allies for a reason, good economic relations. The Zimmerman note was just the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
