What happened in America factories during World War 2

History

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.

Elis [28]

Answer:

1.) When he landed in the Antilles, Columbus referred to the resident peoples he encountered there as "Indians" reflecting his purported belief that he had reached the Indian Ocean. The name stuck; for centuries the native people of the Americas were collectively called "Indians" in various European languages

2.)But that seems beside the point. The real question is "Who made the existence of the American continents and their associated islands known to Europeans?" The answer to that question is Christopher Columbus. Although others from Europe (certainly the Vikings) and perhaps China may have reached what we now call the Americas prior to Columbus, they did not make their "discovery" known to the rest of the world, and as a result their voyages had little, if any, impact on history. Columbus's voyage to the Americas in 1492 was the first fully documented European encounter with the Americas. The report of his voyage was printed within weeks of his return in 1493, went through three printings in Rome before the end of the year, and editions were printed in Paris, Basle, and Antwerp during 1494. He made three additional voyages to the Americas and his pioneering voyage established a connection that has continued without interruption for over 500 years.

2.)Because it wasn't really new.

10 facts about the 19th Century Reforms
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

1) Some historians have even labeled the period from 1830 to 1850 as the “Age of Reform.

2) Women, in particular, played a major role in these changes

3) Key movements of the time fought for women’s suffrage, limits on child labor, abolition, temperance, and prison reform.

4) Reform Movements in 1850’s America. During the early-mid 19th century, many reform movements took place throughout the world, specifically in the United States.

5) The wealthy prospered in ways never seen before, and the growing gap between rich and poor created tensions that would shape an entire movement.

6) The temperance movement, anti-slavery reforms and the women's rights movement are the three prominent reform movements of the early 19th century.

7) The movements found organizational form in the United States in organizations such as the American Anti-Slavery Society.

8) In the early 1800s, there was an increased awareness about the effects of alcohol, and as a result, abstinence was a big issue.

9) By time the 1840s rolled around, the temperance movement had created a ban on some alcoholic drinks.

10) The movements found organizational form in the United States in organizations such as the American Anti-Slavery Society. In addition to the United States and Britain, where such movements played a major role, the category can include such organizations as the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists, also known as "The Boxers", of the Boxer rebellion. Don't forget about the art/literature reform movement
