Ch. 25 summary homework
1. How did the United States provide the people
and weapons to fight the war?
5 million people volunteered to fight and another 10 million were drafted. Another 200,000 women served in the army, but they did not receive the same amount of pay as the men. 18 million people worked in factories to provide war machines to aid in the war. The government recquited scientists through the OSRD as a means to develop new medicines and weapons. These scientists created the radar and sonar, as well as penicilin and other drugs.
2. How did the Allies defeat Germany and Italy?
The U.S. used convoys and radar to defeat the German submarines. Next the pushed the Germans out of North Africa and captured Sicily. They slowly pushed through Italy and launched a massive invasion on Northern Europe. They pushed through France and entered Germany. The Soviet Union entered Berlin. Hitler commited suicide and the Germans surrendered.
3. How did the Allies defeat Japan?
The U.S. leapfrogged from island to island, but finally the leaders of the allied forces met and decided to authorize the use of the atomic bomb. Two bombs were dropped in Japan. One on Hiroshima and another on Nagasaki. After this devastating attack Japan agreed to end the war.
4. What social and economic changes arose from
the war?
Farmers basked in the high demands for crops and the amount of women in the workforce grew to 35%. The marraige rate rose, but so did the divorce rate once servicemen returned home. Single moms juggled jobs and children. African-Americans were able to hold high-paying jobs. Japanese-Americans suffered the worst, however, their homes, jobs, and possessions were taken when they were sent to internment camps. Nothing was done to fix these problems until the early 1990's.
