America had declared war on Germany in April, 1917. American
soldiers began landing in France in August. The war was a hot topic.
The insulting use of the nickname "Hun" for Germans came from a speech by Kaiser Wilhelm II, who told German troops sailing to put down the Boxer Rebellion in China to mercilessly make a name for themselves in China.

People like to make fun of the Italian army in the two world wars, but they forget that the Italians put up a desperate struggle against the Austrians and the Germans in terrible conditions in the Alps. They completely forget the twelve Battles of the Isonzo. My grandfather's uncle was captured there and could still imitate the way the guards spoke sixty years later.
