Summary: "What America Did" by Florence Finch Kelly is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a condensed narrative highlighting the achievements of the United States in preparing for and participating in World War I. It aims to illustrate the spirit and extensive efforts of the American people and government during the war, focusing on their contributions and accomplishments while consciously avoiding discussions of controversies or criticisms associated with these efforts. The opening of the text sets the stage for understanding the historical context of America's entry into World War I on April 6, 1917, detailing the significant transformation of the nation's military capabilities from a small force to a massive army. It emphasizes the challenges faced, including public sentiment against militarization and the necessity of implementing the draft to gather millions of soldiers. The author describes the highly organized and rapid mechanisms put in place for military training, equipping soldiers, and supporting them, thus illustrating the galvanizing effect of the war on American society and its rapid evolution into a war-capable nation. Overall, it showcases a monumental shift in both military and civilian life as the country united to meet its wartime obligations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
