As a result of the rise of Fascism in Europe, America wanted the US to be on good terms with Latin America.The Good Neighbor policy was a policy created that overall increased the trade between the US and Latin America. It was made for the Americans to not interfere or intervene with their domestic affairs. They agreed with the American policy to be against armed intervention.

As another precaution, on August 31,1935, congress passed the Neutrality Act that did not allow for any country at war to ask for assistance with ammunition and arms. Another response to the rise of fascism was when the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 and U.S. citizens were not allowed to travel to Spain.

The main reasons the U.S. used the atomic bomb in Japan were because they wanted to end the war and Japan was refusing to surrender, they wanted to test the power of the bomb after the Manhattan Project, and they also used it to impress the soviet Union. These two atomic bombs landed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed over 210,000 children, women, and men. Another goal of this project was to end the war faster and bring most of the U.S. soldiers back and to save millions of dollars.

When WWII began, the U.S economy recovered by creating jobs with the production of arms. About 17 million citizens got jobs and about 12% of the economy grew. Diplomatically, the U.S. created the Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1939 to provide protection. Also, Britain depended on North America to provide support so as a result, they created the Lend-Lease act that allowed for countries that defended the U.S to sell, transfer, or exchange war supplies.

Canada

The prime minister of Canada, Mckenzie King had a goof relationship with the U.S before WW2 began. When the war broke out, Canada released the War measures Act that gave the government authority to do anything necessary for Canada to succeed. As a result waged and prices froze and from 1942, the sugar, meat, gasoline, rubber, and coffee were rationed. Diplomatically, the Ogdensburg Agreement was made in August of 1940, for the US and Canada to plan for mutual defense. Similarly, the Permanent Joint Board on Defense, citizens and military officials would come to mutually agreed strategies to fight anyone against them.

When WWII began, many men were drafted. As a result many women, approximately 5 million, entered the workforce between 1940-1945. They took over those factory jobs and some office jobs that men officially handled. As this was new, they were not getting paid fairly like men, but it was more than they have ever received.

As Canada was not directly involved or threatened by Germany, the Us tried its best to protect it from any type of fascist idea. They were not directly involved as no aircraft was invented or reached to attack Canada. Even though not directly involved, both the U.S. and Canada made agreements to protect each other when any country would create a war.

Digital Diplomacy provides a comprehensive overview of the major milestones in United States international communications and information policy, from the early days of the Morse telegraph to the current Internet explosion. The book underlines the growing importance of the communications issues, particularly as they affect American leadership in a rapidly changing information environment.

Dizard, a former foreign service officer, rejects the idea of a computer-based telediplomacy, arguing instead that the new technologies should be used primarily to strengthen the capabilities of American diplomats in dealing with information-age issues. A must read for those interested in the future of United States foreign policy, and a stimulating overview for scholars, researchers, and students involved in the subject.

10 September 1939-15 August 1945

Historical Overview

Under Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist (Nazi) party, Germany wanted to expand its territory and conquer Europe. Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939. France and Britain went to war, with Canada standing by the allies when it declared war separately on 10 September 1939. The conflict would expand into the Second World War-the deadliest war the world has ever known.

About the War

The Second World War was a total war involving most elements of society. Canadians contributed in many ways, fighting overseas, defending the country at home, and producing the weapons of war and food for Allied nations. With massive financial support and incredible exertions demanded of most Canadians, few were left untouched by the war.

During the Second World War, Canadians defended the east and the west coasts and fought in a series of long and difficult campaigns - on land, at sea and in the air - to defeat the German, Italian and Japanese forces.

More than 1.1 million Canadian men and women served in the armed forces. The home front was largely directed to winning the war. The cost of victory was high with almost 42,000 Canadians killed before Germany was defeated in May 1945 and Japan in August of the same year.

The Aftermath of the War

The human devastation of the Second World War is difficult to comprehend. Estimates vary widely. Death tolls range from 50 to 80 million people.

Canada contributed significantly to the Allied victory in this just and necessary war. Revelations of the Nazi atrocities and the Holocaust shocked the world. The war also led to the decolonization of empires, the creation of the United Nations, and a new Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and their respective allies.

Canada was also fundamentally transformed. More than a million veterans came home to lead Canada into the prosperous second half of the twentieth century. There was increased urbanization, industrialization, state intervention in the lives of Canadians, interconnected trade with the United States, and a widespread desire for greater commitment in world affairs.

A new Canada emerged from the service and trauma of the war.

Tupperware targeted women who were interested in working, Tupperware, Inc.

During the Second World War, women proved that they could do "men's" work, and do it well. With men away to serve in the military and demands for war material increasing, manufacturing jobs opened up to women and upped their earning power. Yet women's employment was only encouraged as long as the war was on. Once the war was over, federal and civilian policies replaced women workers with men.

The Boom
After the war, the birth rate increased dramatically. Although many people assume that the baby boom happened because peace and prosperity returned, historian Elained Tyler May points out in Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era that the rise in the number of births went far beyond what was expected from a return to peace. Previous periods of post-war prosperity, notably the period after World War I, had not led to such dramatic increases in marriage and childbearing. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Americans in their childbearing years had weathered the Depression and a devastating war, and they were living under a cloud of possible nuclear war. After studying statistics, personal testimony, and popular culture imagery and language, May concluded, "Americans turned to the family as a bastion of safety in an insecure world... cold war ideology and the domestic revival [were] two sides of the same coin."

Rigid Gender Roles
The dramatic dichotomy in gender imagery in the 1950s makes people laugh 50 years later. In Dick and Jane readers, advertisements, educational films, and television shows, post-war Americans saw feminine, stay-at-home moms cleaning, cooking, and taking care of children while masculine dads left home early and returned late each weekday, tending to their designated roles as lawnmowers and backyard BBQers on the weekend. In More Work for Mother, Ruth Schwartz Cowan wrote that psychiatrists, psychologists, and popular writers of the era critiqued women who wished to pursue a career, and even women who wished to have a job, referring to such "unlovely women" as "lost," "suffering from penis envy," "ridden with guilt complexes," or just plain "man-hating."

Yet Married Women Worked
With the international expansion of the American economy after the war, men's wages were higher than ever before, making it possible for the first time in U.S. history for a substantial number of middle class families to live comfortably on the income of one breadwinner. Yet the figures reveal that by the early 1960s, more married women were in the labor force than at any previous time in American history.

Domesticity and Money Pressures
The reality of many middle- and aspiring middle-class families' finances didn't match their dreams. Many families wanted extra income -- and required a wife's earnings - to afford the lifestyle they desired. Yet middle-class women felt the pressure of the culture telling them to stay home. Many also had little desire to work in the nine-to-five jobs open to them. They didn't want to be factory workers, secretaries, bookkeepers or department store salespeople in an increasingly bureaucratic, corporate workplace, which demanded that home and work life be clearly separated. In The Organization Man, a best-selling book of the period, William Whyte, Jr. wrote that organization men "are the ones of our middle class who have left home, spiritually as well as physically, to take the vows of organization life." How could a woman reconcile the ideal of female domesticity and the desire to earn?

Home-Centered and Lucrative
Tupperware home sales offered a solution, providing women with work they could do in their homes - part-time, for as many or as few hours as they chose, on flexible schedules that accommodated the needs of children and the demands of housework. Home party selling allowed women to do income-producing work they didn't need to call "work," but instead "having parties." When they joined "the Tupperware family," they didn't need to leave their own families behind.
