Title: “From a hayloft to a hotel where kings have spent their summers:” Americans’ Encounter with French Culture
Abstract: In World War I, American soldiers arrived in France in the greatest numbers during the summer of 1918. They fought briefly and successfully until the Armistice, November 11, 1918, and after that experience — combat for some and being part of such a successful army for others — soldiers were ready to go home. Volunteers and draftees alike, they had accomplished what they had set out to do. For the moment it seemed that they, their country, and possibly Europe ad been uplifted to the democratic possibilities that Woodrow Wilson had spoken of in his speeches at the opening of America's involvement in the war.
