My best guess is the selective service act (s.s.a.)

The system employed in the US for recruitment during WWI was <u>formally denominated Conscription but commonly known as the draft.</u>

<u> </u>President Wilson, in 1917, decided to implement this mechanism in order to reach the 1 million target after the failure of voluntary enlistment that only recruited 73,000 volunteers. In order to optimize the contribution of each person, depending on his personal skills, the The Selective Service Act of 1917 was carefully designed and enacted to achieve so. It turned military service into a liability for all US male citizens, initially those who were between 21 and 31, and later on those between 18 and 45, to enhance the recruitment numbers. It was not possible to be exempted from this military service.

Because of an aging population, Russia and Japan are expected to have population growth in the near future.
Aleks [24]

Answer: Reversed Population Growth

Explanation:

...Russia and Japan are expected to have REVERSED population growth...

Both Russia and Japan have seen a higher proportion of their aging population as opposed to a young population.

This has led to estimates that there will be reversed population growth in these countries which means that the population will fall. In Japan this is particularly serious with 33% of the population above 60 years of age.

Should this trend continue, when those older people eventually pass on they will not be adequately replaced by the younger generation leading to a reduction in population.

What was the battle of LWO Okinawa for and what happened?<br> what were the casualties
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The battle of Iwo Okinawa was a battle of the Japanese Imperial army military force against the U.S's military force.

On the U.S's side, they did it to attempt acess to mainland Japan, and on Japan's side they did it because it was mid WW2 and they couldn't let the allies stop their conquest to obtain China, the Korean peninsula, and the Philippine islands.

The battle went like this;  

  • The U.S invaded the island (in February 19, 1945) to try to get access to airfields of the island that was very near the coast (750 miles) of Japan to help plan an easier future mainland invasion into Japanese soil.
  • The battle lasted for 5 weeks, making it an excruciatingly bloody battle, having around 7,200 people killed.
  • The Japanese started running low on supplies so they had to surrender, U.S was victorious, the island fell into U.S forces.
  • The U.S also then later captured Mount Suribachi in the island and planted a flag at the summit.

Casualties: around 7,200

NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN BATTLE:  70,000 U.S soldiers and 18,000 Japanese soldiers
