The first six months of the war became known as the 'Phoney War' because there was almost no fighting and no bombs were dropped. This gave the government more time to protect Britain from an attack.

Southern governments implemented a series of devices that would stop African-American citizens from voting including:
1) Poll Taxes- This was a certain amount of money an individual had to pay in order to vote. Many African-Americans could not afford these taxes.
2) Grandfather Clauses- This was a law that essentially stated that you were only able to vote if your grandfather voted. When this was first implemented, many African-American citizens were slaves before or their family members were slaves.
3) Literacy tests- These near impossible tests were based on a person's ability to read and write. This was effective when first implemented because many African-Americans did not have formal schooling due to their status as slaves before the end of the Civil War.
Africa and Asia were able to gain strength after WWII were because after the war the colonial powers of Biritan and France, and the US spoke out about colonialism and some other European nations saw that they had to give up their colonial empires.
