Question

3. Defend or refute the following statement: "If it were not for American participation in WWI, Prohibition would have never been enacted."

Answer 1

With the regards to the statement that if not for Americans participating in WWI, Prohibition would not happen, this statement is false.

Why is this statement false?

The movement to enact prohibition was already growing strongly before the First World War broke out.

In fact, before the U.S. joined the war, those in support of Prohibition had majorities in the two houses of Congress. WWI was merely an event that sped up the rate of prohibition and without it, Prohibition would have still happened at a later stage.
