Answer:
In 1941 the United States was still recovering from the great depression. The jobless rate had been as high as 25 percent, bankruptcy was not uncommon, and the standard of living for most Americans was 60 percent lower than before the stock market crash of 1929. When the war started, all that changed. More people were needed to produce the food and weapons for the men on the front lines. The new jobs were taken by many who had been out of work for several years. As more men were sent away to fight, women were hired to take over their positions on the assembly lines.
Before World War II, women had generally been discouraged from working outside the home. Now they were being encouraged to take over jobs that had been traditionally considered "men's work." existing companies changed their lines from consumer goods to war materials, and new plants were constructed strictly for the creation of products for the war effort. In Ankeny, the Des Moines ordinance plant was already under construction when war was declared. By 1942, .30 and .50 caliber machine gun ammunition began to roll off the line. Jeanne Ersland of Ankeny, formerly Jeanne Gibson, was among the 19,000 people who worked at the facility.
“I think they gave us a short indoctrination as to what we were there for, and then they took us right to the working area. I stayed in that same working area all the time that i was there. I think the patriotism came as it progressed and I was thinking of going on into the service."
After more than a year at the ordinance plant, Ersland joined the United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve. Following training at Camp LeJune, she was assigned to Cherry Point North Carolina and worked as an aircraft engine mechanic.

War that ended the dominance of Spain and Philip II was the one against Elizabeth I of England.
After the death of Mary I, relations between England and Spain deteriorated sharply due to a policy pursued by her successor, Queen Elizabeth I. The aim of this invasion was to prevent England from assisting the United Dutch Provinces, which were then part of Spain, and to prevent further attacks by English pirates on Spanish possessions in America and galleys transporting gold. Philip did not tolerate Elizabeth's permission for this pirate, and he failed to resolve the disagreement with her through diplomatic channels. He took the papal bull issued by Pope as the official reason for the invasion, declaring Elizabeth a heretic, and the execution of a Catholic, ousted Queen Mary I of Scotland and to elect a new English monarch.
Explanation:
- The armada initially had a very experienced commander, Álvaro de Bazán, but he died in February 1588, so the Duke of Medina took his place. The fleet set off with 22 Spanish Royal Navy warships and 108 merchant ships adapted for combat. The intention was to cross La Manche, to anchor in Flanders where the Duke of Parma was waiting ready to invade southeast England.
- The Armada reached its first objective and anchored in the North Sea not far from the Gravelines, on the maritime border between France and Spain. While waiting for communications with the Duke of Parma, English warships fired at Spanish ships, forced them to anchor and leave the meeting place with the Duke of Parma.
- The army was able to regroup and retreat north while being chased by English ships. The return to Spain was also devastating - strong storms diverted the fleet and more than 24 ships were killed off the north and west coast of Ireland, while survivors found refuge in Scotland. The fleet lost about fifty vessels from its initial 22 galleys and 108 armed merchant vessels.
