Trace the impact of World War I on the Prohibition movement. Arrange the events in order, starting with the first event on the top with dates.

Question

United States enters World War 1
World War 1 ends
General public begins to oppose the Eighteenth Amendment
Congress ratifies the Eighteenth Amendment

Answer 1

Here’s the chronological order of events tracing the impact of World War I on the Prohibition movement:

1. United States enters World War 1 - April 6, 1917
2. Congress ratifies the Eighteenth Amendment - December 18, 1917
3. World War 1 ends - November 11, 1918
4. General public begins to oppose the Eighteenth Amendment - Post-war period (1919 onwards)

This sequence illustrates how the war influenced the timing and eventual opposition to the Prohibition movement, which was initially fueled by wartime sentiment and anti-German hysteria but later faced backlash from the public as the effects of Prohibition became apparent.
