Decade - 1940s

Through the early 1940s, in order to escape the reality of total war (rationing, the draft, etc), people went to the movies. Actresses such as Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Greer Garson, Lauren Bacall, Joan Crawford, or Rita Hayworth set the standards for beauty and style.

Hair was usually worn Veronica Lake's iconic eye-covering curl was copied by so may young women that factories began forbidding girls from wearing their hair down at all, since their bouncy locks would get caught in the factory machines. Veronica Lake was eventually urged to change her hair in order to prevent more hair accidents, and she conceded, for the sake of the war.

Other celebrities known for their styles include: Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Barbara Stanwyck, Lana Turner, Lena Horne, Ingrid Bergman, Vivien Leigh, and Carmen Miranda.

Men known for their snappy dressing included Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, and Humphrey Bogart.

After the war, Christian Dior became a sensation with his 1947 spring collection "Corolle" (a French word for flower petals). This was the famous "New Look" that would be very popular well into the next decade.

because they didnt want to get involve

No but they got his exact face and look of Marlon Brando when he was young

Look him up:)

A large majority of the cold war was fought in other countries land-but the main conflict was between Russia and the USA. The Cold War was made up of proxy wars, in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Although I do not know the death toll, it was very, very bloody.

I don't think it did.

The purpose of the Italian Campaign up to June 1944, was to keep the Germans tied down in one area so they could not send more troops to Russia. When the Allies leaders met, the Russians demanded that the US and British engage the Germans in order to draw more men away from Russia. I don't believe the Italian Campaign caused the Germans to give up men from the Normandy defense.

The operation that landed troops in southern France helped to relieve pressure off of the Normandy front. These troops did come from Italy so it might be true that the Italian Campaign helped secure success in Normandy.

Get any movie starring Humphrey Bogart and find out. (Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep.) Of course the clothing ranged from casual to formal but people generally wore more formal fashions.

Sorry, no U.S. dollar coins were made from 1935 until 1971. Look at them again and post new question.

PCGS Values them starting at around $10 U.S. depending on their current condition. They can go for upwards of $150 to $400 in uncirculated condition.

no he did not he lived in a van down by the river with his lover.

Coins of this series (Walking Liberty) dated from 1940 to 1947 regardless of mintmarks are all very common and, as of 7-19-11, have the same retail values of $15.00 in average condition.

Depends.

They were called 'wireless', based on what would have seemed at that time to be their most astounding property: no wires. The miracle of communication over the 'wires' through telegraphy was just beginning to be thought of as commonplace.

A national minimum wage is a relatively new concept and is certainly not a universal one.

No country had a minimum wage in 1940

yes

It very much depends on how you define success. The kamikaze planes certainly would have struck fear into the hearts of the US soldiers, and would probably cause a great deal of damage. however, the cost of damage was less than that of the plane itself. so:

psychologically: yes

financially: no

Restate the question; by virtue of the fact that every event of every day is an event in history, this question is far too broad.

in the afternoon of August 15, 1945 this for the allies would mark the end of World War 2 for all forces, Although the Australians where given the 'mop up' tasks which included landing on smaller islands to ensure no Japanese remained on them, The Australians where also given the roll of the occupation force meaning their tropp had to remain in Japan to ensure civil obediance.

Ellis Arnall was the governor of Georgia in 1944. Arnall served as governor of Georgia from January 12, 1943 to January 14, 1947.
