jok3333 [9.3K]

Frank Capra's Why We Fight film series for the United States Army Signal Corps served to highlight the significance of World War II to regular Americans.

Seven propaganda movies called Why We Fight were created by the US Department of War between 1942 and 1945, during World War II. Originally intended to explain to American soldiers why the country was fighting, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered dissemination to the general population. Leni Riefenstahl's 1935 propaganda film Triumph of the Will intimidated but impressed and pushed Academy Award-winning director Frank Capra, who created a direct response. The show had to overcome a number of obstacles, including persuading a non-interfering country to join the conflict and support the Soviet Union. Numerous entries use propaganda images from the Axis powers that have been contextualized to support the Allies and date back up to 20 years. Although William Hornbeck did most of the editing, some scenes were reenacted "under War Department supervision" if the appropriate footage wasn't available. Walt Disney Productions created animated segments, and the animated maps adhered to a convention of painting Axis-occupied territory black.

How did geography help to determine the economies and social customs of the English colonies
Anarel [89]
A lot of it depended on the area where they lived in. If you lived in the north, you mostly wanted to sell lumber and probably fish because there was so much of it there. If you lived in the south, you had a much better climate and that means they could plant and use plantations. It all depended on the climate they had and if the land was good or not. They also mostly did fish everywhere because they were super close to water.
