<span>Halloween is an annual holiday, celebrated each year on October 31, that has roots in age-old European traditions. It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints; soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating and carving jack-o-lanterns. Around the world, as days grow shorter and nights get colder, people continue to usher in the season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.</span>

Why didn’t most Americans support getting involved in the ww1?
o-na [289]

Answer:

When World War I began, many Americans were reluctant to join the war to avoid involvement in Europe's "petty squabbles" (as it saw them), and didn't feel that it was a threat to the US. They did send Britain essential war materials to help them during earlier parts of the war. The First World War saw a continuation of America's Isolationist policy, as the people of America didn't want to become involved in foreign affairs which didn't concern them. America did join the war, however, after Germany sank the Lusitania, killing 128 American citizens. They only entered the war for the last year though, and if they had come in sooner , the war might have ended much earlier.
