Which of these BEST describes why Georgia was important to United States during World War I?

At the beginning of World War I the United Statesdid not want to participate in the war. US President at the time Woodrow Wilson was very strong on the believe that the United States should keep its neutrality. Eventually, the United States was not able to maintain that neutrality and in April 6th, 1917, there was an official declaration of war on Germany thus affirming the United States entrance into World War I.

At the beginning of the war and for almost two years, just about all newspapers in Georgia had articles describing the negative consequences of the war for the State's economic situation. Suddenly, there was a complete turn around on the position of the newspapers, and almost immediately they were in favor of the war effort, and all the articles became very patriotic and anti German.

Georgia was very important for the war effort between 1917 and 1918 because the State had many training camps, which were federal installations and they facilitated the formation of qualified men to the war. D will be the correct answer. The State contributed with more than 100 thousand men and women on behalf of the United States.
