<p>hey everyone. i was just wondering…in my history class, we were discussing WWI and my teacher told me that in some American history textbooks, they consider the start of WWI to be 1917, when the americans enter the war. is this true?</p>
<p>the start of world war I is 1914. the start of the american involvement in world war I is in 1917.</p>
<p>thinking that WWI started in 1917 because thats when america entered is pretty pretentious IMHO.</p>
<p>yeah, thats what i thought.</p>
