Which of the following statements about US mobilization during World War II are true? Check all the boxes that apply.
yarga [219]

To answer this question lets take a look at the options:

<u>Many more people served in the military than worked on the home front.</u> - False - Based in the reduction of unemployment resulted from the millions of war jobs created, we can affirm there were more people working in the home front than in the military. The shortage of job was so intense that millions of retired people, housewives, and students entered the labor force.

<u>Women worked on the home front but did not serve in the US military.</u> - False - Approximately two hundred thousand women served in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) and the navy’s equivalent, Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES). Others joined the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Army Air Force.

<u>The efforts of soldiers and factory workers were both vital to the Allied war effort.</u> - True - The industries and induction centers of the country were mobilized to supply the Army. The military effort was strongly supported by civilians, who provided military personnel, shelter and money, as an incentive to fight in the war.

<u>The United States mobilized millions of soldiers and workers for the war effort</u>. - True - During the war, more than 16 million Americans served in the United States Armed Forces, with more than 405,000 dead in combat and more than 671,000 injured.

Which statement summarizes President Obama’s actions in Iraq and Afghanistan during his first term?
ankoles [38]
<span>The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice "The Obama administration withdrew most troops from Iraq and prepared for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan."</span><span>

For all of Obama’s efforts at rapprochement with much of the world, he—like George W. Bush—was a wartime president. With the situation in Iraq continuing to improve and the target date for ending U.S. combat operations there approaching, in February 2009 Obama increased the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan to 68,000 troops. Throughout his presidential campaign he had argued that the focus of U.S. military efforts should be in Afghanistan rather than Iraq, and, with the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the military requested that Obama deploy<span> an additional 40,000 troops there. After carefully weighing the situation for three months, Obama choose to send an additional 30,000 troops, a decision that was criticized by many in his party.
