How did WW1 effect the U.S?

Question

politically?

Answer 1

In the short term, it caused a number of political shifts. One of these was the adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted universal sufferage. (Women proved themselves to be capable of conducting domestic affairs and thus were rewarded with voting rights.) It also pushed the U.S. into the world scene as a power to be reckoned with, not as much as President Wilson would have prefered, but there was a more favourable attitude towards global issues. In the long term, it put the U.S. on the path to becoming a superpower as it had the ability to conduct military action without the concern of being invaded itself.

Answer 2

The Treaty of Versailles had the most impact politically. The irreconcilables and Cabot Lodge supporters in Congress did not want the US to be bound so much to the League of Nations. The League of Nations was Wilson's brainchild, so he fought to keep it. In the end, Wilson's unwillingness to compromise made the treaty fail to pass in Congress, and the Democrats lost a lot of support.
Also, the war made Americans disillusioned about the world and a lot more cynical. The Republicans took advantage of this (having not been the president's party), and Harding adopted the phrase "return to normalcy". Even though Harding was less qualified than his opponent, he won the election.
