How did world war 2 change America ?

History

Sever21 [200]3 years ago
3 0
World War II produced important changes in American life--some trivial, others profound. One striking change involved fashion. To conserve wool and cotton, dresses became shorter and vests and cuffs disappeared, as did double-breasted suits, pleats, and ruffles.

Even more significant was the tremendous increase in mobility. The war set families in motion, pulling them off of farms and out of small towns and packing them into large urban areas. Urbanization had virtually stopped during the Depression, but the war saw the number of city dwellers leap from 46 to 53 percent.

War industries sparked the urban growth. Detroit's population exploded as the automotive industry switched from manufacturing cars to war vehicles. Washington, D.C. became another boomtown, as tens of thousands of new workers staffed the swelling ranks of the bureaucracy. The most dramatic growth occurred in California. Of the 15 million civilians who moved across state lines during the war, over 2 million went to California to work in defense industries.

1.2.6 practice: comparing governments
Murljashka [212]

Japan is a constitutional monarchy, in other words, they have a cabinet that is led by a Prime Minister, who is elected by popular vote. The emperor of Japan has moderate influence over the nation's affairs.

North Korea is governed by a communist regime, which is led by Kim Jong-un, who is considered as the "supreme leader" of the country. He succeeded his father Kim Jong-il and one of his children will eventually claim the leadership of the country once he passes away.

The Philippines is a constitutional republic, which elects the President by popular vote. This president must leave the post after his legal tenure is over.

Regarding people's freedoms, North Korea offers the least of this right to its citizens, as they all are assigned predefined tasks and roles within society. The Japanese have followed a philosophy of government that goes back to centuries, with the emperor taking the important decisions. The Philippines has had regimes that follow different ideologies throughout time. Although being the people's will, it may hinder the country's vision as for how it sees itself in the future, as successive leaders with different ideas tend to replace policies, including those who were doing well.
