Option 1: The Allied powers were failing to defeat the Germans when American soldiers began
arriving in Europe. For several reasons, the Americans did not immediately join in the fighting, but
once they did, the tide quickly turned.
Create a political cartoon that illustrates the arrival of the
US soldiers in Europe.
Think about the point you want to make, and how that can be reinforced
with specific images.
The Allied powers were struggling to defeat the Germans when American soldiers began arriving in
Europe during World War I.
The first U.S. infantry troops arrived on the European continent in June 1917.
For several reasons, the Americans did not immediately join in the fighting.

In October 1917, the first American soldiers entered combat in France.
After four years of bloody stalemate along the Western Front, the entrance of America's well-
supplied forces into the conflict was a major turning point in the war.
The American troops were initially unprepared for combat, but once they entered the fight, their
well-supplied forces helped to shift the balance of power in favor of the Allies.
This is a full story that I summarized through the comic:
The first influx of American troops arrived in the British Isles during World War II on January 26,
1942. Soldiers of the US Army’s 34th Infantry Division, the “Red Bull” Division, landed in Belfast,
Northern Ireland. To a large extent, the British had been single-handedly holding off Nazi Germany
for over two years, and the Americans were greeted with both relief and curiosity when they finally

landed in the United Kingdom.
The arrival of American soldiers in Europe helped to turn the tide of the war. The number of troops
shipped overseas averaged about 50,000 per month through March 1942 and soared upwards to
250,000 per month in 1944. With their arrival, the threat of German invasion of the British Isles
began to ebb.
In conclusion, the arrival of American soldiers in Europe played a significant role in turning the tide
of the war against Nazi Germany. Their presence provided much-needed relief to the British who
had been holding off Nazi Germany for over two years. The increase in troops helped to push back
against the threat of German invasion and ultimately contributed to the defeat of the Axis powers.
