They became known as the 1st American Volunteer Group. There were many different races but most Americans that made up the group.They were nicknamed the "Flying Tigers". They were recruited under presidential authority. Later they disbanded and became known as the 23rd Fighter Group.]]> 2018-01-08 20:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/219533198 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/219534168 On September 16, 1940, the United States enforced the Service Act of 1940. This required all men between the ages of 21 and 45 to register for the draft(This number range would vary over the war). The pictures below are different ways the military would try to get more people to join it and helps serve the army. The draft would last until the end of the war on Sep 2, 1945. A day after 6 years of war.]]> 2018-01-08 20:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/219534168 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/220836658 These were services that placed women into existing military services, to allow male personnel to serve overseas. It allowed women volunteers to join the military and serve in non- combat positions. During the war, women made up 65% of the workers in the industries. Before they only made up 1%. They worked in clothing and for the military, they worked at the munitions factories and made a lot of vehicles for the army to use during the war.]]> 2018-01-12 01:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/220836658 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221095656 There were many different groups of minorities in the military. During the draft, all the minorities were subject to join. There was still a lot of discrimination against the different races during the war. The one pictured below is a group called the "Red Tails" or better known as the Tuskegee Airmen. They were the very first African-American military aviators in the military.]]> 2018-01-12 19:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221095656 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221104825 Many women were placed into industrial jobs. Men were drafted into the military and all of those men had jobs back home. Women had to step up and take the jobs that men left. This was a big step in woman's rights movement too. It showed that women can work in the jobs men have been and can easily replace them too.]]> 2018-01-12 19:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221104825 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221107895 This was rationing or limiting the availability of many consumer products to make sure enough were available for military use. Many things like sugar and flour were limited to families so they can use it overseas. We had allies too so we had to help with their military too at some points. You were given tokens to buy things in markets and to buy. They would have special labels that would tell you how many tokens things would cost or how many tokens they're worth. They would set the prices and wages to control inflation during the war.]]> 2018-01-12 19:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221107895 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221116449 This is a process that items that are in short supply and distributing them according to a system. Gas, sugar, flour, and butter were a few of the items rationed in the United States. The ration books contained removable stamps good for certain rationed items, like sugar, meat, cooking oil, and canned goods.  They would distribute these from boards around the country (Around 8,000). Many things were cut back and recycled during the warlike tires, tin, and meat fats/oils.]]> 2018-01-12 19:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221116449 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221119493 War bonds are bonds issued by the government to help pay for the things that we use in the war. They were many different types of bonds during the war. Before Pearl Habor, the US took defense bonds to help build up our military, then during the war, they were called war bonds, and finally, at the end of the war, they sold bonds called victory bonds to help build up the war again. By the end of the war, there were around 5 million war bonds sold. ]]> 2018-01-12 20:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221119493 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221125447 This was a slogan used by FDR before we entered the war. We pretty much helped all of the allied nations by giving them the things that they needed to help fight in the war. We would give them tanks, planes and other vehicles to nations to help with their fight against Germany and the Axis Powers.

They made sure we weren't wasting materials to produce things that were not needed during the war. They had drives and such to get metal from local people so the metal can be reused into things that the military could use. They mainly focused on the production of vehicles.]]> 2018-01-12 20:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221131042 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221132747 Propaganda sends a message to people visually, silently, and also in an auditory form. Propaganda has spurred hatred against Blacks, Jews, Japanese, and Germans. Propaganda was an influential force throughout WWII. It was a powerful force in all countries during this time. It got many Americans to join the military/workforce to help with the cause. It was largely used in Germany to discriminate and start rumors against the Jews.]]> 2018-01-12 20:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221132747 ethanguzman https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221133437 Executive Order 9066 or the Japanese American Internment Act forced 112,000 Japanese-American into camps after Peral Habor. There weren't that many lawsuits against the US but Fred Korematsu brought lawsuit stating that his imprisonment in an internment camp was a violation of his civil rights. This brought a lot of discrimination against the Japanese in the US. The government put them into these camps because they thought if Japan attacked the prisoners would revolt and fight with Japan.]]> 2018-01-12 20:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanguzman/y90g4uevhb9b/wish/221133437
