And They Though We Couldn’t Fight
America was late in coming to World War I; it was seen as Europe’s War.

The Zimmerman Telegram in 1917 changed that and America joined the allied cause later that year. This poster for a Liberty Bond drive depicts a doughboy, bandaged but fighting on, with several German helmets as trophies proclaiming that indeed America was a country to be feared.
