What were soldiers treated like when they come home from World War 1?

Answer 1

The returning soldiers were generally respected and loved.

During World War II, the jobs of the men at war where taken by women, and there were less people. When they returned, there was housing shortages and the soldiers didn't not know what to do. The solution to this was the GI Bill. The GI Bill funded education and housing for all people returning from the war including minorities and women. This stimulated the economy because young men where learning, buying and starting families (and people had to build the houses; it offered more jobs).

African Americans who had fought in for the US came home to be treated unequal. They were typically denied the right to vote. They had separate facilities than whites that had insufficient resources and quality which resulted in poor education for African Americans. They were forced to sit on the back of the bus. The civil rights movement began in the 1950's when Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus.

Answer 2

With parades. Even the Korean War had a parade, at least for US Army General Douglas MacArthur...etc. Vietnam GIs normally returned home one or two men at a time...NOT BY THE UNIT; this negated parades.

Answer 3

There were a number of reasons, some of them strictly personal.

The reason which outraged all soldiers, and has echoed down the decades since WW1, is that many soldiers returned to find that they had lost their homes and/or farms to foreclosure. They had had no way to pay the mortgage on army pay, and no way to defend against foreclosure while kept overseas.

It is to the credit of Congress that they introduced legislation to protect men serving in the military from this in future. Nowadays any attempt to foreclose must be preceded by a "Soldiers and Sailors Notice" published in local newspapers, asking if anyone affected is currently serving in the military. A 'yes' reply triggers protective action.

One other reason there was much anger among the soldiers was the logistic problem of getting them home. The assembly point for the trip home was Brest, France, and many soldiers waited up to a year there for transport home.
