What happened to Japanese during world war 2?

Answer 1

The economy was not very good. People had food shortages and spent their 300 yen that they got a month on very basic food. People were shunned when they indulged in luxuries like rice, bean paste, sugar and vinegar because it was considered unpatriotic. Prices on food was 20% higher than before the war, and very few citizens could afford that.

Answer 2

The British economy was very effectively harnessed to the war effort. The production of some luxury goods was severely cut back or stopped altogether. Essential goods like food and clothing were rationed (by coupons) and affordable. The top rates of tax were extremely high with the very highest rate at just over 98.5%. the taxes doubled to the already high taxes because funding for the war was over $300,000,000,000 which would be equal to about half a trillion dollars today Ok to be short and sweet, so that maybe someone can elaborate upon this--Great Britain was still a little shakey from the Revolution and damage was still evident. It was tough for Britain to keep up with supplies and costs. Which Revolution are you refering too? Following the conclusion of the First World War, the war-time coalition government, led by Prime Minister David Lloyd George, was returned to power, promising to build 'a land fit for heroes to live in'. However, after a brief spell of post-war prosperity, industrial profits and wages began to fall and demobilised soldiers found it difficult or impossible to find jobs. By the summer of 1921 there were over 2,000,000 people unemployed and strikes were on the increase. There was widespread suffering and deprivation. The Lloyd George coalition government collapsed after a series of scandals in 1922 and the country's economic crisis continued to worsen. A series of short-term governments attempted to cope with the crisis (including, from 1924, Britain's first Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald). In support of a strike by coal miners over the issue of threatened wage cuts, the Trades Union Congress called a General Strike in early-May 1926. The strike only involved certain key industrial sectors (docks, electricity, gas, railways) but, in the face of well-organised government emergency measures and lack of real public support, it collapsed after nine days. The miners continued to strike but returned to work in August, accepting lower wages and longer hours. Trade union membership declined after the strike. Nevertheless, it provided the excuse for retaliatory measures against trades unions and led to the passage of the 1927 Trade Disputes Act, which restricted the ability of workers to strike. The worst period of the Depression followed the crash of the Wall Street Financial Markets in 1929. In Britain, unemployment peaked just below 3,000,000 in 1932. A year before, in August, the Labour government had resigned and been replaced by a Conservative-dominated National Government. Although the British economy stabilised under the National Government and unemployment began a steady decline after 1935, it was only with re-armament in the period immediately before the outbreak of the Second World War that the worst of the Depression could be said to be over. There was NO revolution in Britain at the end of WW1, and the above answer is irrelevant. In WW2 Britain harnessed its economy very effectively to the war effort. The government assumed unprecendented powers to control the economy, In particular, many people were directed to jobs. As had been mentioned, taxation rose to astonishingly high levels, with the very top rate of income tax at a little about 99%. By mid 1940 there was full employment, but there was little scope for spending on luxuries.

== == There was, however a social revolution after WWII. The Beveridge report issued in 1942 was strongly backed by the Labor Party who rose to power in 1945 under Clement Atlee. With the Beveridge Report came the first notions of the British Welfare state and true social change outside that of merely implementing widespread social insurance (more than just job insurance; housing, national health care, education reforms, etc.).

Answer 3

China's economy during the Second World war was fragile. Even before the offical start of WW2, China was already embroiled in an fullscale war against Japan. Even before the war against Japan, China was already in political chaos and factional fighting for land had dwindled the economy. China's economy survived by the Allies giving supplies and money to her.

Answer 4

Minus Brookings, Oregon and parts of Alaska, and Santa Barbara, California, the United States was never bombed during WWII. Factory workers in the US did not have to build tanks, ships, airplanes, machinguns, rifles, pistols, ammunition, uniforms, etc. under the threat of air raids; as did the Germans, Japanese, and for awhile Great Britain. The civilians (and military) living in Germany & Japan had to live & work on a routine basis, under constant US/Allied air attacks (B-29 Superfortress Bombers, B-17 Flying Fortress's, B-26 Marauders, B-25 Mitchells, B-24 Liberators, etc.). This was coupled with rationed food, medical supplies, transportation restrictions, lack of fuel for their vehicles, and hygiene items.

Answer 5

Japan was forced to give up all their major equipment. Aricraft Carriers, heavy artilary, ETC. Also they lost land and had to pay money for WAR fees.

Answer 6

Japan experienced strong economic growth from 1932 to 1941.

Answer 7
