“A Global Conflict”Chapter 29 - Section 3
World War I was much more than a European conflict Australia and Japan, for example, entered the war on the Allies’ side, while India supplied troops to fight alongside their British rulers. Meanwhile, the Ottoman Turks and later Bulgaria allied themselves with Germany and the Central Powers. As the war promised to be a grim, drawn-out affair, all the Great Powers looked for other allies around the globe to tip the balance. They also sought new war fronts on which to achieve victory.

Germany renews unrestricted policy in 1917 in hopes to starve Britain quickly.

War Affects the World
The Zimmerman Note
Governments Wage Total War World War I becomes a “total war”—nations devote all
resources to war. Governments take control of the economy to produce war
goods. Nations turn to rationing—limiting purchases of war-
related goods. Propaganda—one sided information to build morale and
support for the war.
