Japanese attack planes sunk four battleships, severely damaged another four, sunk another two military boats, damaged three cruisers, three destroyers and three other vessels. It destroyed 188 planes and severely damaged 159 more. 2,335 servicemen were killed and 1,143 were wounded. 68 civilians were killed and 35 were wounded with 3 civilian planes shot down. The US declared war on Japan on December 8, one hour after Roosevelt’s speech.

PARAGRAPH QUESTION
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

War Communism is the name given to the economic system that existed in Russia from 1918 to 1921 and was introduced by Lenin to combat the economic problems brought on by the civil war in Russia.

A majority in the Bolshevik hierarchy thought that it would be a good idea to remove factory managers and let the workers take it upon themselves to run the factories on behalf of the people.

The people were divided into four categories: workers who performed hard, demanding labour, manual workers in harmful trades, workers in light tasks, which included housewives and professional people.

In addition, the Bolshevik hierarchy could blame a lot of Russia’s troubles on the Whites, as they controlled the areas which would have supplied the factories with produce.

It centred on all industries being nationalised and saw the introduction of strict centralised management, state control of foreign trade, forbidding strikes of any nature by workers, labour duty by non-working classes, prodrazvyorstka – which is claiming agricultural surplus from peasants for centralised distribution among the remaining population – rationing of food and most commodities, with centralised distribution in urban centres, private enterprise being banned and military-style control of the railways.
