How did the united states find enough soldiers for its participation in world war i?

adell [148]

The United States primary contribution to the Allied war effort in the First World War was sending troops to France to fight the Germans. The US supplied most of the transport & merchant shipping to move the troops. The US also supplied escort ships for these convoys. The US also supplied food, ammunition, and other supplies to the Allies. Although the US Navy sent ships to operate with the British Royal Navy, there were very few that engaged in combat. There was very extensive ground combat for American Army & the few Marine troop sent to France. They used both American, British & French equipment. American pilots were trained in France to fly French-made aircraft (some British-made aircraft were also used). No American made aircraft were used in the war in Europe.

3. What resources were the United States trying to gain from haiti

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The Haitian Revolution and the subsequent emancipation of Haiti as an independent state provoked mixed reactions in the United States. Among many white Americans this led to uneasiness, instilling fears of racial instability on its own soil and possible problems with foreign relations and trade between the two countries; among enslaved black Americans it fueled hope that the principles of the recent American Revolution might be realized in their own liberation.

One outcome of the Haitian Revolution for the US was the Louisiana Purchase. Having lost his control of the Caribbean landholding, Napoleon saw no further use for Louisiana. The US was only interested in the New Orleans area; however, the revolution enabled the sale of the entire territory west of the Mississippi River for around $15 million. This purchase more than doubled US territory.
