What is pacifism (dont have to explain in too much detail)

The belief that any violence, including war, is unjustifiable under any circumstances, and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means.

explanation:

it was dumb and stupid town

world war i had a devastating effect on german-americans and their cultural heritage. up until that point   german-americans, as a group, had been spared much of the discrimination, abuse, rejection, collective mistrust experienced by so many different racial and ethnic groups in the history of the united states. indeed, over the years, they had been viewed as a well integrated and esteemed part of american society. all of this change with the outbreak of war.
