A new era
On April 6th in 1917, the United States of America entered World War I.
Close to two million Americans crossed the Atlantic ocean to fight. Their mission was glorified by propaganda machines which appealed to national pride, honour and glory.

Sales of goods and the construction of factories were falling rapidly while stock values continued to climb. Still, very few were worried; the ...
