What was one effect of u. s. participation in world war i on civilians?

The decision of the United States to get involved in the war had very serious consequences on the population, in various different ways.

One effect was the damage it caused to families. The country relied primarily on conscription in order to get more soldiers involved. This meant that many families were separated, and that the number of widows and orphans grew after the war.

Another effect was the rise of censorship. The government was nervous about discourse that was critical of the war effort, so they passed several laws such as the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 in order to restrict free speech.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
