However, shortly after the U.S. had over 15 million men ready to fight the war. 5 million of the 15 million men volunteered. Most of the people that volunteered had great pride for the United States and felt that it was their responsibility to contribute to the war. This is important because without people willing to volunteer to fight we would have had 5 million less men in our military. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219755251 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219755511 Over 10 million men were drafted to fight in World War II. This act allowed the United States Military to quickly grow. Men 18 years of age and older were drafted. Without the Selective Service, the United States would have not had much of a military. This would have greatly impacted the outcome of the war.]]> 2018-01-09 14:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219755511 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219755907 During World War II, women began doing the roles that men would typically do. Different agencies were created to allow women to take positions in the military. There were limits, but at this time this was the most power women could hold. It was a major step for women. This is important because it allowed women to show men that they could do tasks just like men. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219755907 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219756388 During the war, men from all different ethnic groups were allowed to serve in the military. They were given the same pay. However, it use to be segregated. Later on, a law was passed that made it so that the military was no longer segregated. Men from different ethnic groups being able to fight along side each other paved the way for equality. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219756388 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219756974 In World War II, women were left to do most of the industrial work. This is because so many men were fighting the war. Women played many roles during World War II. Some roles women did were being nurses, factory workers, and secretaries. At this time, it was very simple to find work because of the war. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219756974 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757368 The Office of Price Administration was established to control the overall cost of items that could be affected by the war. Executive Order 8875 was implemented on August 28, 1941. This was set up within the Office of Emergency Management. They helped with rationing, as well. The department was abolished on May 29, 1947. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757368 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757503 During the World War II, food was rationed. Every American received rationing books. The books contained removable stamps. The stamps were to be given to the grocer when people wished to buy goods. Some of the rationed goods were sugar, meat, and canned goods. This allowed the U.S. to limit supplies going out.]]> 2018-01-09 14:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757503 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757617 During World War II, war bonds were being used. War bonds were a way to remove money from circulation. The purpose of this was to reduce inflation. This was important because if war bonds had not been used prices would have gone up. Prices rising could have created another "Great Depression". The United States had been fighting the collapse of the economy and they did not want it to happen again. The U.S. ended up raising $21.5 billion for the war effort. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757617 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757769 The "Arsenal of Democracy" was a slogan used by Franklin Roosevelt in a radio broadcast that was made on December 29, 1940. Roosevelt promised to help Britain fight Germany by giving them supplies. However, the United States would remain neutral. At this time, the U.S. had not been threatened and had no reason to enter the war. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219757769 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219758051 The War Production Board is an agency that supervised war production during World War II. The agency was established in January of 1942 by Franklin Roosevelt. The War Production Board helped industries convert from peacetime work to war time needs. This agency was replaced in 1945 by the Civilian Production Administration. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219758051 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219758215 The Office of War Administration was a agency created during World War II to make propaganda. This agency operated from June 1942 until September 1945. Propaganda was distributed through newspapers, radio broadcasts, posters, photographs, and films. This was important because this promoted multiple ideas during the war. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219758215 kayleethornwall https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219758538 During World War II, people of Japanese ancestry were forced into camps. Between 110,000 and 120,000 people were forced to do this. Sixty two percent of the internees were American citizens. America did this to limit conflict because they were fighting Japan in the war. In the end, this created more racism than what was already circulating. ]]> 2018-01-09 14:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleethornwall/K_5210/wish/219758538
