On April 6th, 1917, Congress declared war on Germany, thrusting the United States into the Great War. It wasn’t until December 7th of that same year that Congress would declare war on Austria-Hungary. Between 1914 and 1918 six continents were involved in the "War to End All Wars." In this time, technological advancements were being made at a record-breaking pace. The WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri shows many of the advances made in this period alongside the human stories that brought the war to the home front 100 years ago.
