Analyze the effect of General John J. Pershing's decisions to keep United States forces independent rather than integrating them into the European armies.

The effect would be a nationalistic symbol and command that American soldiers fought under American command rather than under foreign command. Also it also a country's identity that fights as a single force rather than filling up and integrating the army under the allied commanders. Also it symbolizes American joining the war in one banner rather than divided and integrated into other's country armies.
