Answer :
Final answer:
During World War I, Georgia's civilians primarily contributed to the American war effort by purchasing war bonds to help raise money.
Explanation:
Georgia's civilians contributed to the American war effort during World War I in various ways. The most accurate answer to the provided options is B. By purchasing war bonds to help raise money. This was a common method used by civilians across the country to support the war financially. Option A is incorrect because nuclear testing facilities were not constructed during World War I, as nuclear technology was not developed until World War II. Option C, building military bombers and naval ships, did occur, but on a more industrial and governmental level, rather than a civilian contribution. Lastly, Option D, volunteering to work at military bases for free, might have happened on an individual basis but was not the primary civilian contribution to the war effort.
Across the United States, including Georgia, the government encouraged and trained people to work towards the war effort. Citizens were considered "citizen soldiers," as their daily activities and choices in the workplace or at home were influenced by and became part of the war effort. The production boost needed for supporting the war was a combined result of government policy and civilian participation, including the purchase of war bonds, which represented a significant financial contribution.
