The Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (July 1–July 3, 1863), was the largest battle of the American Civil War as well as the largest battle ever fought in North America, involving around 85,000 men in the Union’s Army of the Potomac under Major General George Gordon Meade and approximately 75,000 in the Confederacy’s Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert Edward Lee. Casualties at Gettysburg totaled 23,049 for the Union (3,155 dead, 14,529 wounded, 5,365 missing). Confederate casualties were 28,063 (3,903 dead, 18,735 injured, and 5,425 missing), more than a third of Lee’s army.

What happened in America factories during World War 2
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is one of the most interesting questions you could ask about WW2. I'm going to become a little yakky about this question because it is so important.

In the beginning of the war, before Pearl Harbor, America was asleep. She tried to arm both Britain and Russia but the problem was German subs. They destroyed an awful lot of need materials (including weapons). The American public ignored this so Roosevelt's hands were tied.

On the Japanese side, only Admiral Yamamoto opposed waking America up but since the rest of the Admiralty was all for attacking the US, it was Yamamoto who decided that if they were going to do something foolish, then it better Cripple the US for a long time, or at least long enough to find a good supply of Oil.

Then Pearl Harbor came and America woke up. It was decided that with what they knew, America would engage Hitler first.

That turned out to be impossible, so the factories went into production and Rosie the riveter/welder came into being. I think it was 20% of the work force were women and they did learn how to weld and use a riveter.

By the end of the war, America produced enough tonnage  of munitions and ships and planes to fight on both fronts. (The Pacific was made up of 3 fronts, and America supplied them all plus Europe).   America simply over whelmed her enemies. It is an amazing story, well worth your while to go deeper. Your grandparents and great grandparents will be able to tell you quite a bit if they served or worked in factories.

How has pollution affected marine animals and puget sound over the years
Basile [38]

Answer:

a) It has poisoned and killed them

Explanation:

Puget Sound, located in the northwestern coast of state of Washington in the United States of America, is a body of water that used to harbor thousands of marine wildlife species.

However, through constant monitoring, scientists have shown that hundreds to thousands of marine wildlife have disappeared due to pollution, especially single-use plastic bags, which have caused the death of thousands of whales and seabirds, and the presence of toxic chemicals and eutrophication, which have caused the reduction of oxygen levels in the water, leading to the death of many fish and marine mammals.

<u />

The writing style pf Phoenician language is from right to left, and it doesn't consists of vowels and had only 22 letters. It is considered that the Greeks had introduced vowels, and led to discovery of true "Alphabetical system of language".

The earliest Phoenician inscription found is dated back to 11th century BCE, had been found from Byblos, this was written in a different North- Semitic alphabet.
