"The Preparedness Movement"

Archduke Francis Ferdinand has been assassinated by our ally Serbia. Also, the German Empire has taken the absolute control of Belgium and has sunk the British ship in Louisiana, killing 1,198 innocent people. Those two events are causes of a war that is coming and we have to be ready, if they attack us.

So, American government would start a movement, the preparedness movement. For this, militarism has an important role, because they are going to start preparing men to be ready to fight. They are going to teach them how to shot with guns, and how to survive in the war.

This would help us to be stronger and powerful; demonstrate to the other countries that we are ready for anything. That we are not weak.

The nationalism, devotion to one’s country, feeling that all citizens feel is very strong. Thanks of that they would be a lot of men in the military, fighting for peace, for their family, for their country.

Even now day, this still being an important thing in our country.
