As part of the centennial observation of WWI, the Los Altos History Museum is proud to host a special photographic exhibition created by the National Archives. These selected pictures represent the U.S. participation from April 1917 until November 1918 and highlight three aspects: 1) Mobilizing the Nation, 2) Stirring Patriotic Passions, and 3) Policing Enemies at Home. In a very short span of time, the U.S. participation in the process of going to war plunged Americans onto the global stage and exposed millions to foreign lands, modern warfare and created significant social changes at home.
