HEAR SAMPLE

On April 25th, 1898, the United States declared war on Spain. Less than seven months later,
a victorious America claimed the former Spanish colonies of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippine
Islands. To the American diplomat John Hay, the Spanish-American War was "a splendid little war." It had
been popular, brief and inexpensive - especially in terms of casualties. But the Spanish-American War
marked a change in America's international role. No longer content within her own borders, the United States
looked overseas.

In Europe, power was poised in balance. Germany longed to become a weltmacht - a world power. Britain
struggled to preserve her empire. Both France and Russia expanded, and the Balkan states agitated for
independence from Austria. Treaties were signed; alliances were consummated. Now the actions of any
one power would determine the foreign policy of the others. By early August, 1914, the world was convulsed
by war - the first world war. As Europe's nation-states battled, they awaited the response of the greatest of
the neutral powers - The United States.

World War I engulfed Europe. On the western front, there was constant carnage, but little movement. Soldiers
bled and died to win a stretch of dirt, which was quickly lost again. Europe seemed to be deadlocked in a
bloodletting frenzy. Halfway across the world, an officially neutral American was being drawn into the conflict.
On May 7, 1915, a German U-boat sank a British ship named the Lusitania. 1200 people died, including 128
Americans. Diplomatic relations between Germany and America slowly decayed until, finally, President Wilson
ordered American merchant ships to be armed. Within days, U-boats opened fire on American streamers. On
April 6, 1917, America declared war on Germany. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of November, 1918, the
guns fell silent. Germany had surrendered. At the peace conference of Versailles, the victors constructed a
treaty filled with revenge and retribution. It was a treaty that Germany would not honor. The dark clouds over
Europe had not been dispelled; they were now gathering for a second global conflict.
