On this episode of Our American Stories, America entered World War I late, but its arrival helped change the course of the conflict. By the fall of 1918, more than a million American soldiers were fighting through the Argonne Forest as Allied forces pushed Germany toward collapse. On November 11, the guns finally fell silent. The United States and its allies had won the Great War, but deciding what should come next would prove far more difficult.

As part of our ongoing Story of Us—Story of America series, Dr. Bill McClay, author of Land of Hope, shares the story of America’s victory in World War I and the struggle over the peace that followed.
