1 Standards: SS8H7 and SS8H8 EQ: What problems did Georgia face prior to the start of World War I?

2 The New South was ending. Georgia has recovered economically. Racial Tension is very strong. But in other parts of the world, they are facing DISASTER!!! World War I was the greatest war ever fought in human history up to that point. So large and disastrous that it was often called the war to end all wars. Major Sides: The Central Powers VS. The Allied Powers. But it grew into a global war between 32 countries. At first, The United States was able to stay out of the war and maintain a policy of neutrality until 1917 U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was elected by promising to keep American out of World War I

3 1. Assassinated Leader- The spark for war Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist while touring his empire. Austria- Hungary declared war on Serbia 2. The Zimmerman Telegram A secret telegram from Germany to Mexico was discovered. In it, Germany pledged to help Mexico regain the reconquista in exchange for Mexican support in WWI 3. Unrestricted Submarine Warfare By the middle of the war, Germany enacted a policy that stated that any ship, even ships from neutral countries, found in the waters of hostile nations would be attacked!!! (They were trying to be bullies and make the neutral countries join) 4. The Sinking of the Lusitania In May 1915, a German submarine sunk a British passenger ship, the Lusitania, killing hundreds of civilians, including 128 Americans. Several American ships were sunk from February & March 1917.

4 The United States had had enough. In 1917, we entered the war as an ally of France and Britain. Georgian s made many contributions to World War I: 1. Close to 100,000 Georgians served in the Armed Forces 2. Commercial canning plants to process canned peaches and sweet potatoes were opened (boosting GA s farmers and industry) 3. Meat packing plants were opened in Moultrie, Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah 4. In 1917, a camp was opened in Ft. Oglethorpe to hold German Prisoners of War Camp 5. General Hospital #6 at Ft. McPherson treated over 10,000 wounded soldiers from

5 WWI was the first war to use tanks, airplanes, submarines, and chemical warfare The death toll on both sides of the conflict is estimated at 10 million The Allies (Britain, France, and the U.S.) were victorious, forcing the Germans to sign an armistice (an agreement to suspend all tension). The treaty ending the war, the Treaty of Versailles, was extremely harsh on Germany

7 Life in US after World War I was good th Amendment gave women the right to vote and more women began to enter the workforce. Jazz became popular forms of music More modern conveniences freed women from household chores Electricity became more available Other inventions included gas stoves, toasters, sliced bread, baby food Radio: WSB started in Atlanta 1927: first talking motion picture Walt Disney creates Mickey Mouse Charles Lindbergh makes first ever nonstop flight from New York to Paris, France

8 Boll Weevil The boll weevil is a destructive insect that laid its eggs in cotton plants. As the larvae matures, it devours the cotton bolls. The insect was first swept into GA in 1915 in dust clouds from the west. By the early 1920s, it had destroyed nearly 2/3 of Georgia s cotton crops. Insecticides couldn t kill boll weevils. The 1920s Drought: Soon after the boll weevil crisis, a severe drought struck Georgia and the entire southeastern from The 1920s drought was the worst drought in Georgia history on record. The year 1925 was the year you could walk across the Chattahoochee River. The Great Migration of Farmers: The boll weevil catastrophe, the great 1920s drought, and the rising cost of farm equipment made it difficult for many farmers to survive. In the late 1920s, The Great Migration is when many farmers began to leave the farm and move to the city to find work. Farms closed forcing banks and farm-related business to close No Slaves -> New South -> Boll Weevil -> The 1920 s Drought-> The Great Migration

9 Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil Now, some of you may not know But a boll weevil is an insect And he's found mostly where cotton grows Now, where he comes from, hm, nobody really knows But this is the way the story goes And the boll weevil called the farmer, 'n' he said "Ya better sell your old machines 'Cause when I'm through with your cotton Heh, you can't even buy gasoline "Stake me a home, gotta have a home The farmer said to the boll weevil "I see you're on the square" Boll weevil said to the farmer "Say yep, my whole darn family's here" The farmer said to the boll weevil "Say, why do you pick my farm" The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said "We ain't gonna do ya much harm" Ho-o-o-o-o,-o-o-o, -o-o-o, o-o-ome" And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug. He said "Hey, I'd like to make a trade with you But, ya see if I was a lightning bug I'd search the whole night through"

16 Contributions made by Georgia to WWI Identify Boll Weevil, Drought, Great Migration Impact of Boll Weevil, Drought, Great Migration

17 Financially, Georgia was struggling. Now the rest of America was struggling financially. The Great Depression was the longest period of high unemployment and low economic activity in modern history. The stock market crash of 1929 triggered the collapse of banks, the failure of businesses, and the start of the Great Depression. By 1932, ¼ of all Americans were unemployed, and already struggling farm incomes dropped by 50%.

18 Black Tuesday Credit System & Consumerism Loaning Money To Other Countries Speculation in the stock market laissez-faire Over Production Run On Banks October 29, 1929: Stock market prices fall greatly; millions of people loose all their wealth. Some stocks worth less than 1 Workers, being paid low wages, bought on credit they couldn t repay. Many people had borrowed too much money. People just buying things The U.S. loaned money to struggling European nations after World War 1, but placed high tariffs on European goods, making it difficult for them to repay the loans paying only a portion of the price of a stock hoping that the value will go up attitude that the economy would fix itself if left alone Factories produced more goods than they could sell Everyone withdrew their money from the bank because it was not insured. People were afraid they would lose their money if it was left in the bank

19 1932: 13 million unemployed 9,000 banks closed 31 Georgia banks failed Hoovervilles: named for President Hoover shacks where homeless people gathered Soup kitchens set up by charities and governments to feed hungry Schools were often forced to close or shorten schedules Georgians were already suffering from economic problems before Black Tuesday

20

21 American s turned to the leadership of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to end the Great Depression and return America to economic prosperity. Because Herbert Hoover was U.S. President when the Great Depression began, many in the nation blamed him for the nation s hardships. Hoover felt like the Depression would fix itself and the government should not get involved. Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised to act immediately and to use all of the government s resources to end the hardships. FDR s program to end the Great Depression was called the New Deal. 32 nd President for 4 terms ( ) FDR is the only President to have been elected to more than two terms. He was elected to four!!!

22 Four of FDR s New Deal programs had particularly significant impact on Georgia: 1. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) This agency was created to put young men to work in projects aimed at conserving the nation s natural resources (soil conservation, tree planting, improving national parks, etc.) CCC improved Kennesaw Mt. National Battlefield, Cloudland Canyon State Park, and helped to construct the Appalachian Trail. # of blacks in program was low. 2. The Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) Because many agricultural products had been overproduced (including cotton and peanuts), the AAA was passed to pay farmers subsidies in order to not grow certain products, restrict supply, and drive prices up. Caused GA to be # 1 in poultry (chicken) and peaches.

23 Four of FDR s New Deal programs had particularly significant impact on Georgia: 3. Rural Electrification In 1935, only 3% of Georgia s farms had power. The Rural Electrification Administration offered low-interest loans to organizations to build power lines in rural areas. By 1950, over 90% of GA farms had electricity. 4. Social Security The Social Security Act created insurance for elderly, unemployed, and disabled people through contributions made by employees and their employers.

24 President Franklin Roosevelt s greatest political rival in the state of Georgia was Eugene Talmadge, a powerful, colorful, and controversial figure in Georgia politics from Eugene Talmadge Considered to be a racist bully Did not like New Deal programs in Georgia Elected Governor of GA in 1932 and Outspoken critic of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal programs in Georgia. Farmers backed Talmadge passionately, and he fought for farmer s issues througout his entire career. As governor, Talmadge resisted efforts to give more civil rights to African- Americans UGA lost its accreditation when Talmadge forced the University to dismiss two faculty members who favored integrating the school. Talmadge lost relection to Ed Rivers but was re-elected in 1940 Began to use some New Deal programs Used his power as governor to remove state officials working to integrate Georgia s state colleges Worked with poor dirt farmers Favored rural county voters

25 Roosevelt had a very close relationship to Georgia : President Roosevelt visited Georgia often at his Little White House in Warm Springs His polio symptoms were eased in the mineral springs April 24, 1945: President Roosevelt died at Warm Springs Millions of Georgians and Americans mourned Vice President Harry Truman became president
