During the Spanish-American War, trained nurses cared for soldiers suffering from yellow fever. This convinced the military and Congress of the need for qualified nurses and set the stage for the eventual creation of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901 and the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908.
During the Civil War, both sides wanted women to care for injured and ill soldiers, but these women were mostly untrained volunteers from the middle and upper classes.
World War I occurred after the creation of the Army Nurse Corps and the Navy Nurse Corps.
World War II occurred after the creation of the Army Nurse Corps and the Navy Nurse Corps.
