There is no key to civilization. The concept that native americans did not have a civilization or were not civilized is one only supported by the egotism and arrogance of the empirical profit oriented "conquerers" who have worked to eradicate all cultures that conflict with profits. The key to western civilization that allowed them to kill off the majority of the natives was a lack of respect for life and insane drive for control, ownership and dominance, to which the peaceful and sophisticated Natives would not stoop.
In his speech “Their Finest Hour”, Church said that the reason why France lost the war was their failure to pull their troops out of Belgium when the Sedan and Meuse which led to the loss of 16 divisions of the French Army.
Back then, the African American communities still hasn't fully integrated within the US society and they see world war I as an opportunity to prove their patriotism. Over 2.5 million African American served as military personnel and workers during that time.
But still, they are still not allowed to held any form important military position within the war and often discriminated by other soldiers.
