Unit 7: Important Groups Flashcards
Rough Riders
Group of rich white kids who wanted to fuck up some Cubans in-between studying, and Roosevelt lead the charge. They charged up the hill, I’m not sure the exact name gah.
W.C.T.U
Women’s Christian Temperance Union, all about prohibition and anti-alcohol movements.
Bolsheviks
The early form of the Communist Party, were very much against it because it was socialist, and was the base for Eugene V. Debs Socialist Party.
Irreconciolables
Against the League of Nations, anything that had the League of Nations in it, they would veto, because our army is for us to abuse.
Muckrakers
Reporters uncovering the corruption in the states that then lead to a lot of legislation. One of the most prominent pieces was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
Bull Moose Party
Roosevelt trying to get a lot of votes after Taft for a 3rd term, lost because Taft was a dingus and took like half the republican votes.
Central Powers
Germany and all the large crumbling empires. They were formed through secret alliances and the fact that Germany was way up on a high horse.
IWW (Wobblies)
International Workers of the World. A semi-socialist workers party because they were a bunch of migrants hating Nativism and Capitalism.
Interationalists
People looking for colonialism as a thing, they advocated aggressive foreign policy and progression outside our borders and more to exotic far away lands.
Republicans
The “Not as Racist as the Other Party” party. They held values of business and were just sort of alright, made Roosevelt so it was all good. I mean what else am I putting here though? They have literally existed for 50 years at this point, whatever.
Allies
Formed by another secret alliance, consisted of America (#1 Baller) and Britain, France, Spain, a whole bunch of people, sort of dissed every German living here because of you know, killing their country. #backtobackworldwarchamps
Little Brown Brothers
What we considered our foreign brothers in the Philippines and our little colonial buddies. Also “brothers” we considered them like little schoolkids I mean blatant racism amirite?
Big Four
Wilson, David Lloyd George of Britain, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, and Georges Clemenceau of France. They met at the peace conference after WWI and Wilson got reked with none of his 14 points of idealism being met.
Reservations
Indian reservations, where we segregated all the Indians because we were all like oh yeah they exist and separating them does nothing good for anyone.
