Question

Answer 1

To trace the impact of World War I on the Prohibition movement, we can arrange the events in chronological order as follows:

1. United States enters World War 1 (1917)
2. World War 1 ends (November 11, 1918)
3. Congress ratifies the Eighteenth Amendment (January 16, 1919)
4. General public begins to oppose the Eighteenth Amendment (late 1910s to early 1920s)

This order highlights the sequence of events leading up to and following the Prohibition movement in the context of World War I. The war galvanized some support for Prohibition, but as time went on, opposition to the Eighteenth Amendment grew among the general public.
