American Involvement in the War

Question 1 • Recovery Content US History II - Quarter 2 - 2026/27

In the early years of World War I, which of the following demonstrated the US government’s commitment to winning public support for the war?

Answer
A
the creation of a board to oversee war-related industries
B
the creation of a new recruitment strategy known as the draft
C
the creation of a special committee to promote the war effort
D
the creation of a new branch of government based in Europe

Explanation

The U.S. government created the Committee on Public Information in 1917 to build public support for entering and fighting the war. It used posters, pamphlets, speeches, and other publicity to promote the war effort, so the special committee is the best match. The draft recruited soldiers, but it was not primarily intended to win public support.
