What was life like on the home front during WWI? Connecticut played a key role in manufacturing even before the United States joined the global conflict in 1917. The war and its aftermath left a permanent mark on our state and its citizens. Learn about this dramatic time during which CT confronted women’s demand for the vote, a deadly flu epidemic, and mass immigration  —  all while sending thousands of men and women to the front.
