>Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes was the last major party candidate in the US to sport a full beard. A brilliant jurist and intellectual mind, Hughes was not a natural politician and he was visibly uncomfortable campaigning and making stump speeches. Although many expected former president Theodore Roosevelt to run again in 1916, he refused for fear of causing another party split and ensuring President Wilson's reelection and thus contented himself with being a cheerleader for Hughes. In any case, conservative big-business Republicans still widely loathed the maverick progressive Roosevelt and had little desire to see him run on the GOP ticket.

>Hughes' tendency to flip-flop during the election campaign led to him being dubbed "Charles Evasive Hughes". Roosevelt condemned Wilson as a weakling and a pacifist and loudly yelled for war against Germany, but this alienated important Irish and German-American voting blocs. Privately, Roosevelt insulted Hughes every chance he got, saying that the only difference between him and Wilson was the difference between being bearded and clean-shaven.

>On Election Day, November 5, Hughes carried the usual conservative, big business and big bank-dominated Northeast and Upper Midwest, but the rest of the country, including most of the working class vote. favored Wilson's progressive, antiwar stance. Moreover, sales of munitions to the Entente resulted in a booming economy. However, the election was a close one with Wilson prevailing by just 21 electoral votes and 590,000 popular votes. Hughes lost California by a slim margin and may have carried that important state but for his neglecting to meet with its progressive-minded Republican governor. But for that crucial mistake, Hughes might have carried California and thus the election.

>It was the hottest day of summer; therefore, the only thing for a true Parisienne to do was to don her summer furs and look cool.

Yeah well, what else was there to do in 1916 except read the newspapers and hope her S/O hadn't been disemboweled by an artillery shell.

Fuck this war, elite has fun and booze while ordinary people fight and die for their profit.

Fuck the Germanophile king, we're allied with the Serbs, we must help them

Yeah it would be a shame if they became a pile of bloodied hamburger meat in a basement or something like that.

All Soviet leaders other than Gorbachev were alive in 1916, ranging in age from small children to middle aged. In the greater scheme of things, the USSR really didn't last that long. Just one human lifespan.

feels good to secularize from the Curch

Aiyyy...

Verdun was not the bloodiest fighting of the war, in fact it produced fewer casualties than the fighting in France and Belgium in 1914, but it holds the palm for the extremeness of the fighting which took place in a small geographical area and didn't let up for months.

Off into the bush we go to remove kraut from premises.

>Though American sympathies rested squarely on the side of the Entente, relations with Great Britain were not always on the up and up. Relying heavily as she did on the naval blockade, Britain was bound to rub America the wrong way. Early in the war, London had initiated her planned slow strangulation blockade of Germany. Among other measures, they declared the North Sea a war zone and mined it heavily. Any neutral ships wishing to enter the English channel were stopped and inspected, and if approved for passage would be given instructions to navigate through the mine fields. Any ship caught with contraband would not be approved. The British arbitrarily redefined contraband to include foodstuffs, cotton, and other items not normally associated with war. American farmers, suffering from these actions, raised a cry of protest.

>Because modern technology rendered the traditional-style blockade of ports unfeasible, Britain responded by forcing American vessels off the high sea into their ports. The British authorities would then undertake a leisurely search of the cargo, sometimes using X-ray machines, and confiscating anything deemed as contraband. However, since Britain usually paid for any confiscated cargo, Washington could not complain too badly.

>Britain also arbritrarily redefined the doctrine of continuous voyage as first established by the US during the Civil War. For instance, imports of previously little used commodities by the neutral states. Imports of American lard by Denmark, previously near zero, suddenly rose to 110,000 metric tons in 1916. Obviously some of this cargo was slipping through the conduits into Germany. So Britain announced that they would allow imports to neutral countries at only a normal, peacetime level and would confiscate any excess. But once again, London dutifully paid for anything they confiscated, thus American complaints were kept muted.

>The US Navy by the time of WWI was a formidable force, one of the world's largest fleets, and had it been used to escort merchant vessels, Britain likely would have stood down--after all, she could not afford to alienate her biggest munitions supplier. But the Wilson Administration was quietly pro-Entente and wished to avoid unnecessary diplomatic confrontations with London.

>American sympathy and support was of vital importance in the war and both sides sought it. Entente propaganda, particularly that of Britain, was subtle and well-crafted to elicit a sympathetic response from Americans. Moreover, most trans-Atlantic stories were filtered through British cables which painted a flattering version of the Allied cause.

>British agents flooded the US with sensationalized accounts of German barbarity and atrocities, particularly the "rape" of Belgium and the tales of unrestricted submarine warfare. Numerous tales of Germany atrocities were circulated, many of which proved to be pure ficition. These hoaxes included a "crucified Canadian", a "corpse factory" where Germans processed the bodies of dead soldiers into soap, and Belgian women and children mutilated by German soldiers.

>Cruelties are to be expected in war, and since German soil itself was mostly untouched by the fightingn inevitable clashes with civilians dyed the Germans a deeper black. Many Americans came to sincerely believe that German troops paraded through Belgium carried impaled babies on their bayonets

>The execution of Edith Cavell by the Germans was a PR disaster for Berlin. The victim, an English nurse behind German lines, had aided dozens of wounded British soldiers until she was captured by the Germans and executed by firing squad as an enemy combatant. Although this action was technically defensible in the rules of war, it was a terrible move to shoot a female nurse. This led to such sensationalized propaganda as the motion picture "Edith Cavell, The Nurse the Germans Shot".

>German propaganda efforts in the US mostly amounted to throwing seed onto stony soil. Public sympathy for Berlin outside of certain ethnic enclaves was lacking, and German propaganda was incredibly crude and had the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The overall image Americans had was of Germans being a group of spike-booted militarists and despots with pointy helmets and upturned mustaches.

>t. joins the murder a few years later

This is Jow Forums in 1916, we’re supposed to be IC

‘I found them lying just a few yards away. They’d had their legs blown off and all I could see when I got to them was their thigh bones. I will always remember their white thigh bones. The rest of their legs were gone.

‘Private Jackie Oliver was one of them, and he was unconscious. I shouted back to the fellows behind me, “Tell Reedy Oliver his brother’s been wounded”.

So Reedy came and stood looking at his brother, lying there with no legs, and a few minutes later he watched him die.

‘But the other fellow, Private Bob Young, was conscious right to the last. I lay alongside of him and said, “Can I do anything for you, Bob?”

He said, “Straighten my legs, Jack,” but he had no legs. I touched the bones and that satisfied him.

‘Then he said, “Get my wife’s photograph out of my breast pocket”. I took it out and put it in his hands. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t lift a hand, he couldn’t lift a finger, but somehow he held his wife’s photograph on his chest. And that’s how Bob Young died.’

Major leg wounds are typically fatal because severing the femoral artery quickly causes you to bleed to death.

Hullo /int. Went over the top yesterday. Rupert got downed , so did collins and harris and most of 2nd platoon. I got to the German trench in one piece though, shot one in the face with my service revolver as i jumped in, must only have been 17. Managed to get another one as he rounded the corner, there were a few more but they fled once it was clear we had the best of them, bad sport to shoot men in the back. Its quite a nice trench all things considered , much neater than ours but it doesnt half stink of death. Nearly my turn to rotate back, I hope the Hun dont try anything before tuesday. Dont know how i'll tell Rupert's wife.
How are the rest of you finding the war?
