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.

What happened along the United States-Canadian border during the Embargo Act of 1807?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Smuggling--The Embargo Act completely restricted US trade and the New Englanders could trade easily with Great Britain through Canada. 

The Embargo Act was put into place during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and France. Great Britain was taking over US ships and forcing citizens to fight for the British army/navy. Jefferson responded with an embargo to force Britain to stop through economic means. However smuggling made the embargo ineffective as well as a lack of support from NE Federalists. <span />

Which of the following statements supports the claim that the gap between the rich and poor nations of the world has gotten wide
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

2. A quarter of the countries with a GDP per capita of less than $1,000 in 1960 had growth rates of less than zero from 1960 to 1995

Explanation:

A GDP per capita of less than $1,000 is extremely low, and if a quarter these poor countries with such a low GDP per capita did not see any growth from 1960 to 1995, it means that the some of the poorest countries in the world in 1960 are still among the poorest in 1995.

At the same time, many advanced nations such as Japan and the United States saw great economic growth in the same period of time.

This two events have caused greater inequality among nations.

hoa [83]

Answer:

Some city states were monarchies ruled by kings or tyrants. Others were oligarchies ruled by a few powerful men on councils. The city of Athens invented the government of democracy and was ruled by the people for many years.
