What was the purpose of the Office of War Information?

History

Sholpan [36]3 years ago
4 0

The Office of War Information was created during World War II and its main purpose was to deliver information and propaganda about the war easily in order for more American civilians to join the war effort.

This was very important during this time as people were needed in order for the United States to exceed in the war. World War II was costly, not only with money, but with lives and other needed goods. The United States government thought it was important to send out propaganda so people would feel a sense of patriotism for their country and help out with the effort.

A lot of this propaganda included radio shows, flyers, films, posters, pictures, newspapers, milk cartons, and other things that American citizens saw and used everyday. One of the most famous ones was the posters of Uncle Sam, saying "Uncle Sam wants you!", this attracted a lot of people to the war effort.

Not only were men needed to battle in the war, women were needed to help in factories at the time and to create much needed goods for soldiers.

Ket [755]

During the age of imperialism, European countries competed to gain new territories to acquire markets and resources to gain wealth and influence.  The more territories one country control the more powerful their influence grew in world politics and created conflict as some countries saw others as a threat.  When the war ended, many countries were devastated as lives were lost and the economy suffered.  This was especially true to those on the losing.  After many demands were placed on them, they grew angry and as a result this laid the seeds for the Second World War.

I need a description of the Jews of the Renaissance and Reformation​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The 15th through the 18th centuries involved major changes in Jewish life in Europe. The conflicts, controversies, and crises of the period impacted Jews as much is it did other Europeans, albeit perhaps with different outcomes. In social, economic, and even intellectual life Jews faced challenges similar to those of their Christian neighbors, and often the solutions developed by both to tackle these problems closely resembled each other. Concurrently, Jewish communal autonomy and cultural tradition—distinct in law according to its own corporate administration, distinct in culture according to its own set of texts and traditions—unfolded according to its own intrinsic rhythms, which, in dialogue with external stimuli, produced results that differed from the society around it. The study of Jewish life in this period offers a dual opportunity: on the one hand, it presents a rich source base for comparison that serves as an alternate lens to illuminate the dominant events of the period while, on the other hand, the Jewish experience represents a robust culture in all of its own particular manifestations. Faced with these two perspectives, historians of the Jews are often concerned with examining the ways in which Jews existed in separate and distinct communities yet still maintained contact with their surroundings in daily life, commercial exchanges, and cultural interaction. Further, historians of different regions explore the ways that Jews, as a transnational people, shared ties across political frontiers, in some cases, whereas, in others cases, their circumstances resemble more closely their immediate neighbors than their coreligionists abroad. Given these two axes of experience—incorporation and otherness—the periodization of Jewish history resists a neat typology of Renaissance and Reformation. And yet, common themes—such as the new opportunities afforded by the printing press, new modes of thought including the sciences, philosophy, and mysticism, and the emergence of maritime economic networks— firmly anchor Jewish experiences within the major trends of the period and offer lenses for considering Jews of various regions within a single frame of reference. To build a coherent survey of this period as a whole, this article uses the major demographic upheavals of the 14th and 15th centuries and the subsequent patterns of settlement, as the starting point for mapping this period. These are followed by significant cultural developments, both of Jewish interaction with its non-Jewish contexts, the spaces occupying a more “internal” Jewish character, and of those boundary crossers and bridges of contact that traversed them before turning to the upheavals and innovations of messianic and millenarian movements in Judaism.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The division of countries caused by the European powers' arbitrary boundaries is one of the major causes of post-colonial violence in Africa. These boundaries were drawn with little to no regard for the people who live within them or their heritage.
