The exhibition at the Library of Congress titled “Echoes of the Great War: American Experiences of World War I” “examines the upheaval of world war as Americans confronted it – both at home and abroad. The exhibit will consider the debates and struggles that surrounded U.S. engagement, explores U.S. Military and home front mobilization and the immensity of industrialized warfare, and touches on the war’s effects, as an international peace settlement was negotiated, national borders were redrawn, and soldiers returned to reintegrate into American society.”
