History

Fantom [35]4 years ago

More than 350,000 women enlisted during the war, mostly in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) and the nursing corps. 

<span>Some women were able to get better paid jobs than they had before the war. The women who went to work in the defense industry were mainly women who before the war were in poorly paid jobs. Peggy Terry, who got a job with her mother and sister at a shell-loading plant in kentucky, was euphoric "We made the fabulous sum of thirty-two dollars a week" she said. "To us it was an absolute miracle. Before the war we made nothing." As a result of the great migration of women to defense jobs, 600 laundries went out of business in 1942, and in Detroit, a third of the restaurants closed because of the lack of help. </span>

What is Laozi said to have done as a job? China
telo118 [61]

Answer:As Taoism took root, Laozi was worshipped as a god. Belief in the revelation of the Tao from the divine Laozi resulted in the formation of the Way of the Celestial Masters, the first organized religious Taoist sect. In later mature Taoist tradition, Laozi came to be seen as a personification of the Tao. Laozi wanted people to be closer to nature. He wanted to get away from the rules made by the government or society. To him, the government was selfish and power-hungry. In his world, he would have no rules.Cited from Britannica and Wikipedia.

What was japan’s response to imperialism
Misha Larkins [42]
The major impact of Western imperialism on Japan came when Admiral Perry "opened" Japan to trade in 1854. This action on Perry's part shocked Japan. Japan's leaders had believed that their country was superior to all others until they were shown otherwise by the technology that Perry brought to bear on them.
