During World War I, the events in Georgia took place primarily at Camp Gordon, located near Atlanta. Established in July 1917, Camp Gordon served as a training camp for the Georgia National Guard and also trained soldiers from other states. Thousands of soldiers were stationed at the camp, receiving rigorous training in preparation for deployment to Europe. Additionally, the city of Atlanta played a significant role in supporting the war effort, serving as a hub for recruitment, fundraising, and hosting various war-related events. The presence of Camp Gordon not only impacted the local economy but also brought a sense of patriotic fervor to the region and shaped Georgia's involvement in the war.
