<span>German warfare in Europe: In 1941 and 1942, German U-boats, aiming to starve Britain into submission by destroying their seagoing lifeline, sank Allied ships faster than new ones could be built. Hitler's western armies prepared to invade Britain while the rest of his forces concentrated on fighting the Soviets and capturing the Suez Canal. Allied counteroffensive: In 1943, the United States employed newly invented radar detectors and newly produced destroyer escorts for merchant vessels to destroy significant numbers of U-boats in the Atlantic, thereby protecting Britain from isolation and German invasion. Delaying their opening of a second front against the Nazis in Europe, the United States first defeated Germans in North Africa and the Mediterranean and then invaded Italy. 21. How did the war influence American society? Correct Answer: Answer would ideally include: Wartime economy: Roosevelt responded to Axis aggression by mobilizing the United States economy to produce an overwhelming abundance of military supplies. In order to do this, he called on business leaders to manage the nation's production and guide it toward maximum efficiency. He also called on labor to forego strikes. The government pumped enormous sums into the nation's economy and industry by issuing large contracts. The gross national product quadrupled between 1933 and the conclusion of the war, demonstrating the dramatic expansion of the American economy during wartime. The economic effort required to produce war materiel led to labor shortages that brought women into the traditionally male workforce and put more money into the pockets of the American public than ever before. New Deal restraints on agricultural production were lifted and farm output grew 25 percent every year during the war, providing surplus food to be exported to the Allies....</span>
<span>This refers to trade with China and was coined in the very late 1890s - 1900 to describe the kind of policy that the United States wanted to promote.

A sort of "play fair" rule for everyone that tried to also protect the sovereign rights of the Chinese to prevent their country from being carved up.

<span> It was supposed to level the playing field, though most nations preferred to ignore it and play nice only when they needed to. In those years, China was ruthlessly exploited by Western powers and did little to curb some of their activities. It pretty much came to an end in the early 1930s when the Japanese militarily expanded their hold over China.

In more modern times, following the late 1970s under Deng Xiaoping, it has come to refer to China's increasing openness to foreign trade and business. Before that, it was a largely isolated country that wanted little to do with the West.
<span>The benefits today are that China is now the #2 economy in the world (having beaten Japan some time ago) because of its growth through manufacturing and trade, a rapid industrialization of the country to more modern standards, and rising quality of life within the major cities (access to goods from around the world). For many large corporations, China is seen as a huge market as well as a giant source of cheap but reliable labor.
