Keywords: World War I, disarmament, military

Historical Sketch: Although European imperial powers had been fighting World War I since 1914, America did not enter the war until 1917 after years of providing large loans to Britain and France under the guise of neutrality. Americans at home established organizations such as the Council of National Defense while many American men enlisted and were sent to serve with the American Expeditionary Forces, headquartered in France, after receiving training at military camps and forts throughout the United States.  The invention of poison gas, one of the many technological advancements of WWI, required specialized training in chemical warfare which the soldiers received in gas schools in both the US and France. The horrors of trench warfare and the decimation of much of Western Europe gave rise to a large world disarmament movement in the 1920s with the aim of abolishing war. The movement culminated in the League of Nation’s World Disarmament Conference of 1932-1934; however, it quickly fell apart with the rise of fascist aggressions in Europe during the mid- and late 1930s and proved to be the last intergovernmental attempt at world disarmament.
