Decade - 1940s

Many children's games have stood the test of time & still remain popular today. Jacks, yoyo's, hopscotch, tig, pin the tail on the donkey, hide & seek, tiddlywinks & snap just to name a few.

life in the 1930s was very bad to all you young kiddys look up wat a concentration camp is you escaped it but they didnt thanks to adolf Hitler in the ww2. life was mainly bad for the Jews who got the blame for things that weren't their fault. it was all down to adolf Hitler for these untrue answers. as a result of this belief they were sent to concentration camps in which they were either put in a room with poisonous gas or forced to do unnecessary jobs.he only wanted people with blonde hair and blue eyes known as the Aryan race, as it stood for purity, however Hitler himself and his wife both had brown hair

when you say "bad" it depends on what your looking for. The Nazis brought Germany out of an econmic crisis between 1933-1939, it was also a very safe environment with the crime rate lowering. Living in Nazi Germany was alright if you fit the apperance of a Arian decendant.

His acts of aggression included mainly the invading of other countries and the killing of millions of innocent people.

No I don't think that there were computers in the 1940's TV's just started in the 50's if there were computers (which I highly doubt) thaey wouldn't be anything like today's computers. A little bit of searching will show that there were primitive computers. They were mostly mechanical analog computers rather than electronic digital devices like we have today. They were mostly used for computing bomb and rocket trajectories. Some very early electronic computers were built in England and the U.S. to help decode encrypted Axis messages.

Before the beginning of the United States involvement in World War Two, a large portion of the United States public did not favor entering into the war. These individuals were called Isolationists and they favored the United States to not involve itself in any foreign wars. Another term for an individual who opposes military action and war is called a pascifist.

LIfe in Germany during World war two was kind of suspsious. Every corner you turned there could be a Nazi solider of a person running away from a Nazi. Someone could have been holding a gun. Anything could of happened. Everyone was suspicious.

The 1938 Adolph Hitler youth knife with a the motto could be worth as much as $500 or more depending on its exact variety and condition. Some models are worth a bit less and some are worth more.

Technically, one does not invade a city, once invades a country but captures a city. Hitler invaded France partly to gain revenge for Germany's defeat in World War I and also because he knew that Britain and France would try to stop him from his aim of conquering vast territories in Eastern Europe. Thus they had to be defeated first. He captured Paris because it was the capital of France and when it was shown that they couldn't even defend their own capital the french quickly lost whatever stomach they had for a fight and sued for peace. Michael Montagne AnswerGermany invaded France officially because France had declared war upon Germany when Germany invaded Poland, an ally and friend of France. But Germany was deeply revanchiste and her foreign policy was to reclaim the areas lost in the previous war, which would have led to war with France sooner or later anyway. Germany wanted the war with France (unlike the war with the British, but it sort of came in the bargain).

Technically, when Paris was lost, the French no longer had very much stomach left to lose, since they had already lost more men than the USA would do in the entire war to follow.

Germany directed her full power at France. France 1940 was no peripheral "second" front with only a minimalistic German presence like Normandy 44, with 70% of Germanys power on a primary East Front, and 20% equally divided between UK and US (the rest on occupation duties or in Italy).

France was Germanys only front in 1940. France was alone, with only the BEF to aid her, and the BEF consisted of five divisions, a parenthesis of no significance.

The forces that hit France were the same that hit the Soviet Union the following year, and the Soviets lost over 5 000 000 men before they could stop this rolling horror and turn the course of events. In fact they lost 10 000 000 troops killed before it was all over.

France had a total population of just 50 000 000 all souls counted. Her army was slightly smaller than the number of Soviet troops that died in the battle of Stalingrad.

Hopefully this will enlighten some on the scale and proportions of things. The French didn't suddenly lose stomach when finding they could not "even" defend their capitol. Nobody asked how they felt about it, they were overrun and crushed, stepped on like a bug.

Whilst broadly I would agree with this answer it is worth noting that the figures for French deaths in the fighting were 90000, the BEF lost 66000 - hardly "a parenthesis of no significance" NB Source; taken from part of a record for the British War Office in 1940.

There were 16 Major League Baseball teams in 1960. There were no divisions yet, so it was just two leagues (American and National) of 8 teams. The regular season winners of each league met for the World Series.

In Ireland in the 1400 the land was divided into many clans and different kingdoms. The life was in classes nobles and such and then peasants there were wars amongst and many great kins tried to unite England but none really prevailed except brian boru who was murdered by viking invaders but that was in the 11th cnetury i don't know much i like history and ma studying it in college and happen to be Irish.

I married into a Filipino family and have been researching family history with my children. What the relatives tell me is that Filipinos were not allowed to enlist as soldiers. My husband's grandfather, for example, enlisted as a cook. In exchange for enlisting, Filipinos were offered US citizenship and their veteran status made it easier for them to get civil service jobs in America. So, perhaps you will not find a list of soldiers. Check your assumptions.

College in the 1950s was focused on classes and campus activities. Students went to school dances and enjoyed parties on and near the campus. Many classes were smaller than the classes of today, though in some cases students still attended lectures in large groups.

The standard outfits for the 1940's consisted of long skirts for the girls with a sweater top. For the guys, khaki pants were preferred with button-up tops.

During World War 2 prejudice against African-American was very high.Training and opportunities were unavailable. Army was strictly segregated and generally assigned black soldiers to noncombatant roles. Navy blacks were cooks and servants. In the beginning air corps or marines would not take them at all. American Red Cross keep black and white plasma separated. African-Americans has low paying jobs like janitorial positions.But were doors were open to more skilled jobs and higher paid. By 1944 African Americans accounted for almost 10 percent of the population, held 8 percent of the jobs.

Little changed during the course of the war to elevate black people's social status. Although there are some celebrated units of black soldiers, such as the Tuskegee Airmen, they played only a small part in the war. After the war, they faced the same prejudice they had prior to the war. Essentially nothing changed until the Civil Rights Movement in the late 1950s-1960s.

Weathering has affected the Statue of Liberty because the statue was once a coper color. Acid rain soon caused it to become a green color. Wind, water, snow, and the sun (forms of weathering) also caused the statue's natural color to wash away.

Executive Order 9066 required all Americans of Japanese descent to be put into specified areas determined by authorized military leaders. Signed by FDR

General MacArthur is the most notable. My father was pretty well loved by the Philippino scouts as well as many female villagers, who called him affectionately "The Great American Liberator" and Blue eyes, respectively.

Initially he financed his campaign with his poker winnings that he had saved from the Navy. Later, as the polls showed him closing the gap with opponent Jerry Voorhees he started receiving contributions from supporters. Finally when it appeared the he had a chance of winning Nixon received some limited financial support from the Republican party.

In 1918, World War I ended and in 1941, World War II began. In between the time was the Roaring 20s era (a time of economic boom) and the Great Depression (quite the opposite). During this time, the US looked inward to focus economic growth (during the 20s) and smooth out the depression with the New Deal (in the 30s). The US adopted an "isolationist" policy in which they pretty much ignored (for the most part) foreign affairs. They didn't not want to nor did they need to get involved in world politics and warfare until 1941. You know what happened afterward.

there was no economic boom at all. when the war ended unemployment jumped to over 11%. farming dropped off because there was no more foreign demand for American agriculture. America always had said that they wouldn't get into foreign affairs but as history shows they always have.

The Queen's Messenger aired in Sept. 11, 1928. The 40-minute long program was the first drama to ever be broadcast on television.
