The 1910s Decade in Photos
Experience the 1910s through this photo-driven book. Newspaper headlines in the 1910s shouted out tragedy and disaster. Read how the Titanic sinks, World War I erupts, and a deadly flu virus kills millions. The 1910s were a frightening time in the world. Mexico and Russia slipped into revolution. America hoped to stay neutral in politics and war, but found it could not. U.S. troops first went to Mexico, then the bloody trenches of Europe. The combat of World War I was worse than any that had come before it. People called it the war to end all wars. Readers will learn about what proved to be an amazing decade in history.
