This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War 1. The global war had an immense effect on Europe, both for its destruction and death, but also for its impact on future politics and events from Asia to Europe. But for many Americans, it was a forgotten war; its consequences much more muted when compared to the Civil War or the Second World War. In South Carolina, the impact was very direct from the millions of Federal dollars spent on building military facilities to the thousands of young men sent overseas where they were exposed to ideas and cultural norms different from their own.
Join us as we explore some of these topics and learn more about the impact this global conflict had on a small southern state. Registration fee $40, lunch included.
