What roles did women and African-Americans have in fighting world war 1?

with all the men at war women were left to do all the jobs usually ocupied by men at home, they ran fire stations delivered mail ran farms looked after the finances, all the jobs men would have had if they had been there. women also helped in the war effort in more direct ways such as nursing wounded soldiers and sending food packages to soldiers.

African Americans were still seen as inferior to white men so were used as foot soldiers and infantry, they were seen as less of a loss if they died than if a white soldier died. Although an African American may ascend through the ranks within the army it was rare for him to reach a level that would have him in a position where he could order a white person. rascism at its finest folks its all horrible :) hope this helps.
