2-WWII+USA+HF


 * //How may the Home Front’s awareness of the war’s objectives and nature be characterized? How did propaganda affect the mindset at home? //**

During World War 2, Americans were meant to hate many other countries such as Germany and that was basically the difference between the attitudes of an average American towards its enemy during World War 2. Americans were attacked by japan during Pearl Harbor; however, they did not feel any cause for taking revenge. In the government propaganda, there was a great deal of stress in the war against Germany which was placed on the National Socialist regime rather than the Germans. The U.S had many trained soldiers that fought in World War 2 in the military bases that were in the war. Major bases were located on the west coast. The U.S was able to make around 500 camps because there were many prisoners, 425,000 to be exact. The U.S was extremely unsuccessful during Pearl Harbor; however, by 1942, around 5 million people were able to be able to take part in the air-raid defense. When the U.S fought in World War 2, there were 3 countries that went against the U.S including Germany, Japan and Italy. The United States was determined to have maintained formal neutrality as they supplied Britain, China as well as the Soviet Union. The U.S was trying to help British by giving aid such as providing military equipment. President Roosevelt took U.S naval units to the war against German Submarine even though Germany and U.S already had peace among each other.


 * What were the direct contributions of the Home Front to the war effort? This needs to go beyond a cursory statement of, “They supplied soldiers, grew food, made armaments, etc.” You should consider support not only in patriotic or industrial terms, but also political, social, economic, cultural/intellectual, moral/religious, emotional, etc., terms. **

//When Pearl Harbor was over, the role of the U.S increased drama tally and U.S was congested with many more activities to take care of than they were before. First of all, Australia and England got many supplies because of America. Many contributions that were made by the U.S included food and trucks as well as Sherman tanks which were used to protect the border. Because of the trucks, USSR became a mobile force therefore becoming a huge contributor in defeating the Germans. America became allies second largest military force as well participating in many activities such as operation Torch which included the invasion of North Africa. The U.S was the main reason the Germans were driven out of Greece, France, Norway, North Africa and Belgium. The U.S was the principal combatant against Japan. U.S was responsible for 95% of the fighting that occurred in the Pacific. After the battle of Midway occurred, the U.S became the most powerful Navy in the world. //

World War 2 was considered the worst war in American history; however, there were many positive effects because of the war such as many American Women were filled with many more opportunities to live a better lifestyle. These Opportunities gave women the privilege to show what exactly they were capable of. There was growth in economy as well due to mass production of war material. Roosevelt ended segregation in order to give many people of different races new benefits. In addition, the United States became a world power. The atomic bomb changed the way the U.S was looked at by other nations. Because of WW2, America was helped dramatically in many ways. America was benefited significantly because of the war because of the weapons that the nation made. This is the reason why countries that are included in the war have debts to Americans. After World War 2, Americans were able to get colonies which they used to get resources for strategic locations. One example can be Philippines. Many soldiers left the war causing the Women and children to replace them and join the labor force. People ignored Child labor which caused the production to increase such as many teens going in the force and many of them included high school dropouts. Because of this, huge amount of money was used for equipment causing the U.S Federal government to spend 98.5 billion dollars which was significantly more money spent than before which was only 9 billion dollars.

Women were extremely energetic and vivacious during the World War 2. Women volunteered to take up work for the men and by 1939 over 2 million women were employed. Their role during ww2 was manufacturing as well as working in medicine and teaching. Women had to do many difficult tasks including operating tractors as well as other large engines. Women also made uniforms, ammunition and weapons. Women also helped build airplanes, tanks and trucks. Basically, women had to do many difficult tasks that were made for men to do. Lives for children during World War 2 were a different experience and for most children, the war was a sense of anxiety and for many others it was a period of family separation. And for some it was basically a profound personal loss. Children lost all their imaginations, they grew up extremely quickly. Families were migrated from farms and children were to adjust into new schools and make whole lot of new friends
