This document summarizes how America mobilized for World War II. It discusses how the War Production Board was established to oversee war production. President Roosevelt declared that every American was on the "home front" and needed to contribute to the war effort. This led to rationing of items and other efforts like victory gardens. As men left for war, jobs opened up for women and the workforce. The document also mentions the internment of Japanese Americans on the west coast and legal challenges to it. It concludes by asking how Americans have mobilized during today's wars and discusses the role of propaganda and maintaining support for war on the home front.

The document discusses a project called "Machinto of good deed" that aims to teach children about the harms of war through picture books and art. It notes how wars have caused suffering such as young girls being raped and killed by soldiers in Vietnam and the toxic legacy of war that remains decades later. The project encourages children to think about how they can help reduce suffering for "little birds" impacted by conflicts around the world and create picture books to present to these children.

The document summarizes key events related to World War 1, including the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, reasons for US entry into the war like the Zimmerman Note and sinking of the Lusitania, and trench warfare conditions. The Treaty of Versailles placed blame on Germany for starting the war and imposed heavy reparations, created new countries from former empires, and formed the League of Nations. Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Note pushed the US into the war in 1917.
Usa during the world war ii
During World War 2, the US mobilized its entire economy and workforce for the war effort. Unemployment fell to just 1.2% by 1944 as industries converted from making consumer goods to weapons and war supplies. Women and teenagers entered the workforce in large numbers to replace men serving in the military. Over 6 million women worked in war-related jobs. In August 1945, the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, prompting Japan to surrender and end the war.
Ike Day 2
The "New Look" foreign policy of the Eisenhower administration focused on brinkmanship and massive retaliation using nuclear weapons as a deterrent against communist expansion. It advocated threatening nuclear attacks to push communist countries back behind their pre-1945 borders and interfering in communist governments through covert CIA operations. The policy was based on the domino theory that if one country fell to communism it could trigger surrounding countries to also fall like a line of falling dominoes.

The document provides background context on John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural speech, including the historical events and figures that influenced it. Kennedy drew upon speeches from Winston Churchill, FDR, and Abraham Lincoln in crafting his address. He aimed to unite and inspire Americans to meet the challenges of the Cold War, civil rights movement, and Vietnam War. The speech utilized rhetorical devices like alliteration, repetition, personification, and antithesis to simplify complex issues and frame them as clear choices.

Woodrow Wilson was the U.S. president during World War 1. Germany used U-boats to gain victories at sea. The sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat angered Americans and helped lead the U.S. to enter the war. The fighting ended in 1918 with Germany's defeat. After World War 1, the League of Nations was formed to try to prevent future wars.
Vietnam: The Consensus Unravels
This document provides an overview of the key events and factors that led to the United States' failure in the Vietnam War between 1950-1975. It discusses the escalating US financial and military commitment despite failing to achieve victory. Key events summarized include the Geneva Accords that divided Vietnam, the rise of Ngo Dinh Diem and conflict between North and South, the growing insurgency of the Viet Cong, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that expanded US involvement under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and the Tet Offensive that turned US public opinion against the war before the final defeat and withdrawal under President Nixon in 1975.
Truth or Prapaganda
“ Naturally the common people don\'t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country”.

The document discusses different types of commonly used printers, including impact printers like dot matrix printers and non-impact printers like inkjet and laser printers. It describes how each type of printer works, for example that inkjet printers spray ink onto paper while laser printers use toner and heat to print high quality documents. The document also covers special purpose printers used in print shops that can print on various surfaces and produce professional quality output.
Intro Ch 05 A
The document discusses how computers represent and process data. It explains that computers use the binary number system to represent data as strings of 0s and 1s at the bit level, and that bytes made of 8 bits are used to represent individual characters. It also describes how the CPU processes instructions in cycles, with components like the control unit, ALU, and registers. Memory is used to store open programs and data, and can be volatile RAM that requires power or nonvolatile flash memory. Processing speed depends on factors like the CPU clock speed, memory size and speed, number of registers, bus speeds, and cache memory.
Intro Ch 09 B
The document discusses different types of data communication connections. Modems are used to transmit digital data over standard phone lines at speeds up to 56 Kbps. Newer digital phone lines and broadband connections allow for faster transmission speeds. Digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable modem connections provide speeds between 100 Kbps to 30 Mbps for home users. Wireless networks use Wi-Fi to transmit data without cables at speeds up to 56 Mbps over distances of 50 to 150 meters from an access point.
History project PowerPoint
The document discusses how American lives were affected socially and economically during World War II. Socially, women entered the workforce in large numbers, gaining new independence and freedom. Racial tensions increased as African Americans migrated north and Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps. Economically, rationing was implemented to conserve resources for the war effort, while incomes and savings rose as Americans invested in war bonds. Nearly all Americans contributed to the war effort through these social and economic sacrifices.
Ch 28: America in a World at War
The document summarizes America's involvement in World War II from 1941 to 1945. It discusses the war being fought on two fronts in Asia and Europe. It also examines the experiences of different groups in America during the war, including minorities and women. Finally, it outlines key military campaigns and events that led to the defeat of the Axis powers, including D-Day, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan's surrender in 1945.
Social Impact of WWII
During World War II, many African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, Japanese Americans, and women faced discrimination but also sought new opportunities. The war economy led to an increased demand for labor across many groups. However, racial minorities and women still faced significant challenges such as segregation, unequal treatment, and hostility in their new roles. Executive orders and advocacy helped promote equality and civil rights, but full equality remained elusive.
African-American History ~ World War Two
Franklin Roosevelt framed World War II as a war to guarantee the "Four Freedoms" of democracy, though the military remained segregated and African Americans faced discrimination. While over 500,000 African Americans served, they were restricted to segregated units in non-combat roles. The "Double V" campaign called for victory over fascism abroad and an end to discrimination at home. This led Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802 in 1941 creating the Fair Employment Practice Committee to address discrimination in defense jobs. Despite facing challenges, African American servicemen and women served with distinction including the Tuskegee Airmen and the black crew of the USS Mason.

World War II was a transformative event that required unprecedented mobilization of the US economy and society. The US initially adopted a strategy of holding actions in the Pacific while focusing on Europe. Key battles like Midway arrested Japanese expansion and allowed resources to shift to Europe. At home, wartime production and millions of new workers transformed the nation. The war also accelerated social changes like the civil rights movement and women's roles. After Allied victories in Europe and the Pacific, the war ended with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

International tensions and the rise of militarism in Germany and Italy led to World War 2. During the war, over 500,000 African Americans served, though they faced widespread discrimination in the military and worked to promote civil rights on the home front. The establishment of organizations like the FEPC and training programs helped address discrimination and resulted in over 100,000 African Americans gaining new employment in defense industries by 1943. However, racial tensions and inequality persisted both during and after the war.

Minorities contributed significantly to the Allied victory in World War 2 despite facing discrimination. Minority units like the Tuskegee Airmen and Nisei regiments fought bravely and earned numerous honors, though they served in segregated units. The Navajo code talkers were invaluable in the Pacific by using their unwritten language, which the Japanese could not decipher. Women and Mexican Americans also supported the war effort. However, minorities still faced inequality and segregation at home, and their experiences overseas helped spark the civil rights movement after the war.
World war 2 the home front
- After the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR issued Executive Order 9066 which led to over 110,000 Japanese Americans being forcibly removed from their homes and interned in camps.
- The government established the War Relocation Authority to oversee the internment program and built camps in isolated areas of California, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Arkansas to detain the Japanese Americans for the duration of the war.
- The internment was controversial and caused significant harm and hardship for Japanese Americans, though it had little security justification. It remained a stain on America's record of civil liberties during wartime.
Ch 21 section 2
The U.S. entered WWI with a relatively small army that would need to be rapidly expanded through conscription. The Selective Service Act established the draft of all men between 21-30. While some women volunteered as nurses or in clerical roles, others opposed U.S. entry into the war. The military, industry, and civilian efforts mobilized to support the war through expanded production, conservation campaigns, patriotic drives, and suppression of dissent, though these measures sometimes infringed on civil liberties. Racial minorities faced discrimination but also sought opportunities in the military or factories.
