To prevent that the U.S. powers thought they would need to prevent the axis powers too. This feeling became known as "the great arsenal of democracy". Then by 1940 Britain had no more money to contribute to this democracy. Roosevelt then came up with the lend-lease policy. This policy allowed the president to lend or lease armed supplies to any country that needed defense against the United States. ]]> 2021-02-08 01:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleemurray1/3h4x6t6wd1d3kiif/wish/1174774302 ryleemurray1 https://padlet.com/ryleemurray1/3h4x6t6wd1d3kiif/wish/1174775138 The War production Boards were in charge of what companies would convert to wartime production, and distributed raw materials to key industries. They also organized drives to collect scrap iron, tin cans, paper, rags, and cooking fat that they would then recycle into war goods. They rationed fuel and other materials that were very needed during war time. Rationed items were things like gas, metals, rubber, and plastic. The War Production Board did all of this because they had the responsibility that armed forces and war industries would receive all the resources that they needed.

This was because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. After that attack Americans suspected that Japanese Americans were spies. So then the government rounded up all the Japanese and placed them in these camps. ]]> 2021-02-08 01:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ryleemurray1/3h4x6t6wd1d3kiif/wish/1174776903
