Explanation:

1. To what extent was American Patriotism during WWI?

American patriotism during WWI was widespread but complex. It was fueled by propaganda (like the Committee on Public Information’s efforts), nationalism, and a sense of duty to “make the world safe for democracy.” However, it also led to suppression of dissent (e.g., Espionage Act, Sedition Act) and discrimination against groups seen as unpatriotic (e.g., German - Americans). Many volunteered for military service, bought war bonds, and participated in home - front efforts, showing strong patriotic engagement, but the extent also had problematic aspects like violating civil liberties in the name of patriotism.

(Assuming common WWI - era patriotic actions shown in related videos) 1. Military Enlistment: Many Americans, inspired by patriotism, volunteered to join the armed forces to fight in the war, seeing it as their duty to support the nation's war effort. 2. War Bond Purchases: Citizens bought war bonds to help finance the war, demonstrating their financial commitment and belief in the country's war goals.

Answer:

American patriotism during WWI was extensive in terms of public engagement (military enlistment, war bond purchases, home - front support) driven by propaganda, nationalism, and war goals. Yet, it also had negative dimensions, including suppression of dissent (via laws like the Espionage and Sedition Acts) and discrimination against minority groups (e.g., German - Americans), showing a patriotic fervor that was both a unifying force and a source of civil liberties violations.
