Question:  Was America a safer, more well-protected democracy as a result of its military involvement in World War I?

To answer this consider the cause and effect relationship of the following events:

                   1) Unrestricted submarine warfare

                   2) root causes for the war (nationalism and imperialism)

                   3) Zimmerman Telegram

                   4) Trench warfare (U.S. experience)

                   5) Russian Revolution/ (Operation Archangel)

                   6) Wilson's Fourteen Points/ Results of Versailles Treaty/ League of Nations

                   7) Collapse of Imperial Germany (Rosa Luxemburg and the Socialist Revolution)

                   8) Chapters 3-5 of the Daniel's monograph, Not Like Us.
