Your assignment is to draw a map of the United States that identifies significant items related to the period 1865-1914, leading to America's direct engagement with Europe in World War I.

Requirements:
1. Individuals/Groups: Note at least 5 individuals or groups (e.g., immigrants) on the map, identifying them in appropriate locations.
2. Illustration: Use different colors or symbols. Arrows and other notations are encouraged.
3. Industrial Centers: Identify at least 5 industrial centers or places where manufacturing occurred that contributed to America's war effort.
4. Events: Note at least 5 relevant events from 1865 to 1914.
5. Annotations: Include at least 3 "break out" annotations explaining the items identified, using the textbook or other readings.

Approach:
- You may print a map from a site like [this](https://www.waterproofpaper.com/printable-maps/united-states.shtml) and illustrate with colored pencils, pens, or markers.
- Alternatively, design a map on a computer or sketch a new one entirely on your own.

Goal:
Make the map attractive and legible, providing a clear understanding of U.S. history from 1865-1914 through your illustrations.

The project involves creating a map that captures key historical elements leading up to the US involvement in WWI, including major individuals, events, and industrial centers.

The assignment requires creating a historical map of the United States for the period 1865-1914, highlighting its significant roles leading up to America's involvement in World War I. Consider including pivotal industrial centers like Pittsburgh and Detroit, which contributed to manufacturing for the war effort. Note influential individuals or groups, such as immigrants who significantly shaped American society and economy during this time. Also, mark events like the Spanish-American War and important social changes that may have influenced the United States' eventual engagement in WWI. Use of artistic elements from propaganda posters can add depth and context when creating 'break out' annotations explaining the historical significance of the mapped items. Aim to visually represent the transformation from a post-Civil War nation to a rising global power on the brink of joining the world stage in conflict.
