The National Council for History Education moved their conference online due to the coronavirus outbreak. This session featured Adam Hochschild, author of "To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918." He talked about domestic unrest in the United States during and after World War I, including anti-German sentiments, race riots, and arrrests of suspected communists.
Historian Mitchell Yockelson and French battlefield guide Guillaume Moizan visited battlefields, villages, and monuments to tell the story of the forty-seven day Meuse-Argonne offensive, one of the largest battles in U.S. history. Stretching 25 miles between the Argonne Forest and the Meuse River in northeastern France, the American attack was part of a major offensive along the entire 400-mile Western Front that led to the November 11, 1918 armistice and the end of World War I. We visited locations associated with Harry Truman, George Patton, and Douglas MacArthur.
Author Mark Wilkins examined the psychological impact of World War I aerial combat and the disorder known as "aeroneurosis," a nervous condition brought on by flying. He also talked about diary entries from pilots who experienced this condition and explores their lives after the war. This event was hosted by Smithsonian Associates.
French battlefield guide Guillaume Moizan and historian Mitchell Yockelson visited a memorial and remnants of World War I trenches in France's Argonne Forest to tell the story of the "Lost Battalion." From October 2-7, 1918, about 550 soldiers from the U.S. Army's 77th division were surrounded by Germans during the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
Historian Rudolph Daniels talked about his book, " The Great Railroad War: United States Railway Operations During World War I." He argued that the ability to move troops, equipment and ammunition at an accelerated rate helped Allied forces win World War I. The National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri hosted this event.
