Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, along with his wife in Bosnia by a Serbian anarchist. The alliance system pulled in other countries that didn't need to be in the argument between Bosnia and Serbia and kind of started World War l.
Unfortunately, American involvement in WWI had some worrisome indirect effects on the country. Wilson had warned that if Americans went to war they would “forget the very meaning of the word tolerance,” and intolerance did increase as a result of our involvement in WWI.<span>But despite the fact that World War I had led to some changes progressive wanted, WWI really ended up killing the progressive movement. In 1920, Wilson decided that the Democrats should make the election a “solemn referendum” on the League of Nations. Up to this point, Republicans in the Senate had blocked US entry. Wilson said: Ok, let’s show them at the polls. Although Wilson himself was not on the ballot anywhere, he did succeed in making the American people think that the big issue in both the presidential and congressional contests was American commitment to the League of Nations. Result? The American people said no to the league—electing a conservative Republican, Warren G. Harding rather than the progressive Democratic nominee, Cox. It wasn’t even close—Harding won by the largest margin of any candidate in American history. Progressiveness was dead—at least for the moment. So WW1 has had a pretty bad impact on america. hope this helped :)
