Operation Olympic was the first phase of Operation Dawnfall which was designed to occupy Japan, It was supposed to take place in November 1945 on the Kyushu island in southern Japan.  The plan included 14 army divisions in the initial landings alone, an armada of 400 destroyers, 24 battleships and a staggering 42 aircraft carriers. It was all based on an aphibious landing in three diferent beaches: at Miyazaki, Ariake and Kushikino. The weakness of this operation was the location, Kyushu island was the only one that was in conditions for an invasion of these characteristics. So the japanese succesfully predicted it, they were ready to use all of their force to defend the island with the Ketsugo plan. As a result, both sides had estimated that the casualties would be huge. Finally the invasion never took place as the atomic bombs were dropped in Nagasaki and Hiroshima making Japan surrender.

Which of the following acts are aimed at increasing equality for women?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

D. i, ii, and iii

Explanation:

Equal Pay Act had been voted in 1963. to<u> end the unequal pay between sexes</u>. Men and women should be paid the same for the same amount and quality of work. Since then, the goal of equal pay has not been completely met, but further leaders and members of the government have signed acts and laws to help complete equality.

The Ninth Amendment of the Constitution is ensuring that <u>all people have the fundamental human right that can’t be denied or disparage</u>. It does not list them all, one by one, but it does concern the right to vote, keep personal property, care for health, travel, etc. As such, <u>it has also aided the women in the past and let them refer to it in order to claim equal rights.</u>

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. has<u> banned any discrimination in the process of hiring, paying, and firing of women on the basis of pregnancy or childbirth</u>. This also includes health benefits and sick leave for women who faced abortion.

<u>It can be concluded that all of these regulations and acts have helped women’s fight for equality and aided the status of women in US society.</u>
