Decade - 1940s

The vast majority of people would have been peasants/serfs so they would have got very little pay, and as such had very little disposable income. In towns you would have got some free-men who were able to work for their own money.

There wasn't that much difference in the jobs people did since pre-roman times right until the beginnings of the agricultural revolution. Most people would have been involved in to gathering /production of raw materials (like food) although there was a surprising amount of labour intensive industries, the major one probably being the textile trade, so growing flax (for linen) or keeping sheep was very important.

To help support people/industries there would have been potteries, and foundries (purify/process ores to make metals. the metal for swords and horseshoes came from somewhere!). It was found recently that Saxon metalworking was about the same quality/quantity as that of 16 C England. Many of the metal extraction/processing sites would have been in fairly inhospitable places like the Pennines/Wales/Lake District. MOST of these sites would have been small, and today there's usually very little physical evidence of them being there.

Stone would also have been extracted by quarry men. Stone masons would have been needed to dress/finish the stone.

In areas where there were thatched cottages (majority of places, stone simply being too costly for the common man) you would have got thatchers.

Most jobs were highly specialised, and covered a tiny part of what there modern equivalents are. There would have been "jobs" only for highly skilled people - such as bakers, leatherworkers, blacksmiths, carpenters, armorers, bowyers, fletchers, swordsmiths, shieldwrights, wainwrights, cobblers, weavers, millers, priests, tax collectors, and probably some manner of fortune tellers/sages. We can also include the minstrels or trubadours who got paid by telling stories with the use of music. Very few jack of all trades.

The exceptions would have been the growing of food (most people would have had a strip of land for growing the majority of their food, with little surplus), and blacksmiths or farriers(a blacksmith who concentrates on "stuff" for horses)

Carters or porters would have been the lorry drivers of the time.

Coastal regions might have had some fishing boats, and in larger ports, merchants..

A few people would be able to work as tutors to the children of the rich and powerful.

The American Housing Act of 1949 (Title V of P.L. 81-171) was a landmark, sweeping expansion of the federal role in mortgage insurance and issuance and the construction of public housing. It was part of Harry Truman's program of domestic legislation, the Fair Deal.

According to the census of 1931, London's metro region population was 4.4 million. (Source: http://www.histpop.org)

He came to power, he's more important in 1958 and in 1966,

In the 1920s, the Weimar Republic, an impoverished, weak and ineffectual government sat in Germany. Communism was rampant, and it's a small miracle that Germany did not end up as a communist state, instead of the Nazi regime. Hitler was narrowly elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933, and his NAZI party ruled Germany until the end of WW2 in 1945.

While it was called the "National Socialist German Workers' Party", it was lead by a military dictator, Adolf Hitler, who had unlimited power, and passed laws by his own decree, so the best description of the type of government it was would be totalitarian.

no she's not

too many people are selling their shares from companies so a lot of companies are going broke and more people are selling houses than people who are buying houses... it is difficult to get a job

Very slow, big, and hot. On the issue of speed a typical memory cycle took on the order of 100 microseconds although there were both faster and slower machines. On the issue of size and heat until about 1958 practically all computers used vacuum tubes, even the smallest vacuum tubes were at least 3/4 inch in diameter and a couple of inches tall and dissipated several watts of power keeping their cathodes red hot.

1918 saw the average raise rise to $875 per year. The average house cost $6,715 and the average car cost $360. Although it is difficult to find the price of a pint of milk, a gallon of milk cost around 55 cents in 1918.

The Americans had a total of 89,987 casualties. 19,276 dead, 23,554 captured or mising and 47,493 wounded. The British had 200 dead and 1,400 wounded or missing. The Germans suffered 84,834 casualties. 15,652 dead, 27,582 captured or missing and 41,600 wounded.

Not much. Poland was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940-45 and then by Soviet Russia.

just after world war when hit la was killed

McCarthy lost power when the press criticized him

it proved to be an ineffective tool against communism

Someone born in 1941 would be 68 today and an infant born in the base hospital on Dec 6 would have to be considered a survivor. The 18-22 year old soldiers and sailors are now in their early 90s, so they will soon all be gone.

My great uncle is 91 & a Pearl Harbor survivor. But I don't know the total that are still living.

i think what you are wanting to know is how to get a hold of one, well good question i have no clue does any one no..?

declare a bank holiday that closes banks for days

Then the US forces would have had to invade Japan, probably resulting in the massive loss of life on both sides. The Japanese civilians would have certainly been involved in suicide attacks in order to protect the homeland and Emperor. Japan would have been a bloodbath as they would have refused to surrender because of their honour system.

It depends on where you were. In most modern countries, the automobile was now an essential part of life. Not every city had good roads, but more and more people were buying cars. There were also buses, trains, trolleys, taxi-cabs, and there was some air travel. In poorer countries, people still relied on the horse, but even poor countries had some access to trains or buses.

He was one of the main perponents and orchestrators of the Holocaust. He believed that the Jews were responsible for all of Germany's problems and that an "ethnic cleansing" would fix those problems.

They invaded North Africa instead of France

Wartime challenges such as resource shortages, inflation, and the need for increased production of military goods prompted the government to take an active role in the economy, often through measures like rationing, price controls, and the establishment of wartime agencies to coordinate production efforts. The government also implemented policies to mobilize labor and ensure that essential industries operated efficiently. However, the government did not nationalize all industries or impose comprehensive central planning, allowing for some degree of private enterprise to continue alongside its regulatory efforts.

Christopher Columbus was looking for a water route to India, because the only trade routes by land to India were controlled by the Muslims. Columbus was sent by the King and Queen of Spain to eliminate the middleman (the Muslims) so they could trade with India. Columbus didn't find India, but we all know in 1492, Columbus discovered America, though he did not know it at the time. He thought they had found India, which is why they called the people Indians.
