The Great War was known as "the war to end all the wars," had changed internally because it was the first war for America that their American government had agreed to send a large numbers of solders immediately. The selective service act which is know as the national draft, being used the first time since ever entering the war. Moreover, people started to change their view toward black people. Racism started to disappear during the war. The Americans fought fiercely that finally earned the respect from every nation in the world.
During the Great War new technologies changed the way war was fought. Before the Great War, the soldiers had to fight face-to-face and hand-to-hand. But new technology made World War I a more impersonal war. New Machines had bring combatants more effective killing. (rapid-firing guns and powerful, Long-range big guns) Since there was dangerous machine guns that will kill people instantly, armies had to seek safety in trenches. Improvements to airplanes made the sky become the new battlefield. In 1906, Britain had brought the world's first battleship. These new technologies had made the wars more cruel and ruthless.
