| Abstract | From the conclusion: The First World War was a catalyst which instigated widespread hate for German influences, and especially for the language. Propaganda, in and out of the classroom, played a significant role in creating negative feelings for the German language. These feelings affected the educational systems on all levels, public and private alike. The end result was a reduced number of students learning German and fewer instructors teaching German in American schools. |
