World War I produced important changes in American life--some trivial, others profound. One striking change involved fashion. To conserve wool and cotton, dresses became shorter and vests and cuffs disappeared, as did double-breasted suits, pleats, and ruffles. Even more significant was the tremendous increase in mobility. The war set families in motion, pulling them off of farms and out of small towns and packing them into large urban areas. Urbanization had virtually stopped during the Depression, but the war saw the number of city dwellers leap from 46 to 53 percent. War industries sparked the urban growth. Detroit's population exploded as the automotive industry switched from manufacturing cars to war vehicles. Washington, D.C. became another boomtown, as tens of thousands of new workers staffed the swelling ranks of the bureaucracy. The most dramatic growth occurred in California. Of the 15 million civilians who moved across state lines during the war, over 2 million went to California to work in defense industries. Women The war had a dramatic impact on women. The sudden appearance of large numbers of women in uniform was easily the most visible change. The military organized women into auxiliary units with special uniforms, their own officers, and, amazingly, equal pay. By 1945, more than 250,000 women had joined the Women's Army Corps (WAC), the Army Nurses Corps, Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service (WAVES), the Navy Nurses Corps, the Marines, and the Coast Guard. Most women who joined the armed services either filled traditional women's roles, such as nursing, or replaced men in non-combat jobs. During the first world war, the first demonstations were held to give women the right to vote. Women also substituted for men on the home front. For the first time in history, married working women outnumbered single working women as 6.3 million women entered the work force during the war. The war challenged the conventional image of female behavior, as "Rosie the Riveter" became the popular symbol of women who abandoned traditional female occupations to work in defense industries. Social critics had a field day attacking women. Social workers blamed working mothers for the rise in juvenile delinquency during the war. African Americans In 1941, the overwhelming majority of the nation's African American population--10 of 13 million--still lived in the South, primarily in rural areas. During the war, more than one million blacks migrated to the North--twice the number during World War I--and more than two million found work in defense industries. Black leaders fought discrimination vigorously. In the spring of 1941 (months before America entered the war), the president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, A. Philip Randolph, with strong backing from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), called for 150,000 blacks to march on Washington to protest discrimination in defense industries. Embarrassed and concerned, Roosevelt issued an executive order prohibiting discrimination in defense industries and creating the Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC). During the war, the Marines excluded blacks, the Navy used them as servants, and the Army created separate black regiments commanded mostly by white officers. The Red Cross even segregated blood plasma. As urban areas swelled with defense workers, housing and transportation shortages exacerbated racial tensions. In 1943, a riot broke out in Detroit in a federally-sponsored housing project when whites wanted blacks barred from the new
The benefit of Greece having so many small islands was that if someone were to attack the mainland the islands would be safe until they were also target. The same could be said about the mainland... if the islands were targeted or destroyed the mainland would remain intact. A negative thing would be if you had news on a war or if you were being attacked they would not hear right away more like 1 hour to a day depending the relationship and closeness of the island. I REALLY hope this helps. Please make me brainliest
It has often been remarked that in the journey of life, the young rely on energy to counteract the experience of the old. And vice versa. What makes this Constitutional Convention remarkable is that the delegates were both young and experienced. The average age of the delegates was 42 and four of the most influential delegates—Alexander Hamilton, Edmund Randolph, Gouverneur Morris and James Madison—were in their thirties. Over half of the delegates graduated from College with nine from Princeton and six from British Universities. Even more significant was the continental political experience of the Framers: 8 signed the Declaration of Independence, 25 served in the Continental Congress, 15 helped draft the new State Constitutions between 1776 and 1780, and 40 served in the Confederation Congress between 1783 and 1787.
1. When his plans were divulged to the British Major Henry Gladwin
2. When British expeditors entered Pontiac's camp on July 31.
3. In 1764 when the British Colonels succeeded at a peace agreement with the Native Indians
4. When Pontiac was unable to get support from France and ended up signing a treaty with Britain in 1766.
Explanation:
Pontiac began his mission to reclaim, the lands captured by the British after the Seven Years War between Britain and France. He was not happy with the style of rulership by the British people for he felt that they were too hard on them. That was why he set out on a mission to convince the Native Indians to join him in his quest to reclaim their forts from the British people.
He was however unable to achieve his mission for several reasons which began with the divulging of his plans to the British Camp. The British people were able to gain entrance into his camp and weakened their forces. The also made peace agreements with the Native Americans. All of these weakened Pontiac's goals and then he finally yielded when he signed a treaty with Britain in 1766.
a. The book looked at political leadership in a realistic rather than idealistic way.
Explanation:
This treatise is a work of art, since I analyze with realism the political and social situation that was lived at that time, it lists different qualities that a leader must have and at the same time because he must have them, he breaks with the idea of what King or prince is someone glorious and who must be loved for having that title, shows the human of politics and the wide difference between moral and immoral
