Fuller served in the U.S. Navy from 1917 to 1919, where he demonstrated an aptitude for engineering. He invented a winch for rescue boats that could pull airplanes out of the ocean in time to save the lives of pilots. Because of the invention, Fuller was nominated to receive officer training at the U.S. Naval Academy, where he further developed his abilities. In 1926, when Fuller's father-in-law, James Monroe Hewlett, developed a new way of manufacturing reinforced concrete buildings, he and Fuller patented the invention together, earning Fuller the first of his 25 patents.

The government responded to this by admitting that the 1912 bill was out-of-date and devised a new Home Rule bill for 1919. This stated that Ireland would govern itself within the Empire but in two separate parts - the south, and the six counties of the north (which was most, though not all, of the old province of Ulster). Each of the two parts would have a parliament in Dublin and Belfast and Ireland as a whole would still have MP’s representing them in Westminster. The bill ... proposed a Council of Ireland which would have representatives in it from both parliaments in Belfast and Dublin. The bill became an act in 1920. The north accepted the act and in 1921, the king opened the parliament of the six counties at Stormont.

The Washington Press Club Foundation originated in 1919 as the Women's National Press Club, formed to give female journalists who were barred from membership in the National Press Club and the Gridiron Club. As it grew in prominence and membership, the group ultimately helped to challenge the tradition of the all-male news bureau and to open doors for women and minorities to be employed equally in newsrooms.

“Never has there been a time when more complete callousness and indifference for human life was exhibited by the great communities all over the world,” declared Winston Churchill on November 24, 1919. World War I had swept away the old order and, in the words of William Klingaman, “mankind had entered a new age that was considerably less rational and less forgiving of human imperfections.” The leaders of the victorious nations gathered at Versailles to bring into being a lasting peace, but “the crushing complexity of the world’s problems...evaded any attempt to find a definitive solution.” Chaos reigned, as did irrationality, famine, violence, revolution, counterrevolution. Events had spun out of control.
