United States

The United States entered the Great War on April 6 1917 on the side of the Entente. The pretext for participating in the European conflict was the so-called "Zimmermann telegram" in which the German minister assumed Mexico's participation on the side of the Central Powers in the event the United States entered the war. The entry of the United States into the war finally changed the balance of power in favor of the allies.

In May, General John Pershing was named commander of the American Expeditionary Force and arrived in France in June. Separate American units took part in hostilities in July - October, and by the beginning of 1918, four divisions were equipped and trained, consisting of both volunteers of the National Army - military formations created by the US Congress specifically to participate in hostilities in Europe - and the National guards, and who entered the regular army on call.

In January 1918, President Wilson presented his "14 Points" to Congress - a general declaration of US war goals. The declaration set out a program for restoring international stability and called for the creation of the League of Nations. After Germany agreed to make peace on the terms of the Wilson program, the President sent Colonel E. M. House to Europe to secure the consent of the Allies. On November 11, 1918, Germany signed an armistice agreement.

During the war, the United States lost 116,708 people killed.
