World War I: Lessons and Legacies explores the history of the war and its lasting impact on American life. World War I gave rise to significant and enduring changes in America. From the Great Migration to the 1918 flu pandemic and from the unionization movement to women's suffrage, World War I led to pivotal changes in America's culture, technology, economy, and role in the world. (World War I: Lessons and Legacies is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and the National Museum of American History, with funding from The United States World War I Centennial Commission and the Smithsonian Women’s Committee.) This display will be located in the Reading Rotunda.
