When the whole of Europe went to war in 1914, Pittsburgh watched
the storm clouds gather at home. Yet Pittsburgh was a city of
immigrants--the large Polish community urged leaders to join the
side of the Allies, while German immigrants supported the Central
powers. By the time the country entered World War I in 1917,
Pittsburghers threw their support into the war effort united as
Americans. With over 250 mills and factories, the Steel City and
Allegheny County produced half of the steel and much of the
munitions used by the Allies. Pittsburgh gave more than
steel--sixty thousand men went to war, and women flocked to the
front lines as nurses. One of the first gas masks on the western
front was developed at the Mellon Institute, while the city's large
Red Cross provided tireless support on the homefront. Historian
Elizabeth Williams traces the remarkable story of Pittsburgh during
the Great War.
