P.S go with answer 1

After World War I ended, the Treaty of Versailles was signed. It declared what would happen to the losing countries. Specifically, Germany bore the brunt of the punishment. They owed so much in reparations that they only finished paying it off in 2010.

In the war the women sacrificed their men and many lost their sons, fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews and cousins. Some lost their daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces and cousins. But they did find was after the war to succeed and cope.

Women worked as nurses, switchboard operators, secretaries and receptionists, in businesses like clothing stores, or places like Woolworth's, Newberry's, Grant's and other stores needing women clerks. The really young ones would work at soda counters, movie theaters or as babysitters. Some women ran boarding homes or childcare businesses. Some worked in the entertainment field or as models.

In later decades women became professional women and even executives of large companies.

The women who were widowed often went to live with relatives or got jobs like I described above.

The women world wide learned they had ability, smarts and power. They found they did not have to be just "housewives" and could survive without their husbands if they had to.

V-Mail One method was called "V-Mail" or "Victory Mail". This was a method used to ship thousands of letters and not take up too much space on shipments. The soldier wrote his letter on a blank letter form. At the top he wrote the address and his return address. This letter was then taken to a place and photographed. Then the photo negatives were shipped back to the US. This reduced the letters to a small size. Once the film arrived in the US, then it was printed like a photograph would onto a small sheet of paper. The printed letter was folded and inserted in an envelope that had a window so the address would show and it was mailed Free to the family.

Some of the most famous composers of the 17th century were, Domenico Cimarosa, Luigi Cherubini, Ludwig van Beethoven, Gaspare Spontini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart being one of the more famous composers from the 1770's wrote over 600 pieces. Some of these include; 21 stage and opera works, 15 Masses, over 50 symphonies, 25 piano concertos,12 violin concertos, 27 concert arias, 17 piano sonatas, 26 string quartets and much more. Not a lot of people liked Mozart because they didn't understand his work.

There are a great many reasons why the Americas wanted Florida. Florida was a very big port for trade and travel.

During world war 2, there were about 25 % to 30 % of women who worked outside the house at paying jobs. More married women, more mothers, and more minority women found jobs than had before the war.

The rationing really did not allow the city people to make their own yogurt. The dairy farmers could make cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese and other things like ice cream. City people did drive to the farms if they had enough fuel to get to them to purchase dairy products, eggs, produce and even poultry, pork and beef cuts. There was a black market fed by the farmers and other people and believe me the prices were high.

Most African Americans were sharecroppers after the civil war. This was a system in which the landowner would allow them work a piece of land and give them some of the crop produced.

Rationing in the United Kingdom during World War II began in January, 1940. Eggs, meat, tea, cheese, and fruit were all rationed. To implement rationing, the government made wasting food a federal crime. The prices on these goods were raised, making it difficult to buy them.

"Nearly 1,100 U.S. Army generals served at some point during World War II, and of those about 40 died during or immediately following the war. Not all were in combat units, and some were not in enemy territory when they died.

Of these generals, at least 11 were killed in action or died of wounds from hostile actions, two were executed by the Japanese while POWs, four were killed in plane crashes, one was killed by friendly fire, and five died of natural causes, including two of heart attacks. The remainder died of various causes in the first few months after the end of hostilities."

How were the gender roles of white women reshaped and redefined during the Revolutionary eraHow were the gender roles of white women reshaped and redefined during the Revolutionary era

Because the cities were being bombed by the Germans and so they were not safe there

Life for the Evacuees in World War 2 would have been unimaginable, they would have to go and live with strangers miles away from there homes, leaving the families behind. Some would have to be split up from their Brothers and Sisters, because the people they had to go and stay with did not want more than 1 child to look after. Most of the children weren't evacuated until the last year of the war, so they did spend most of the War in danger. Some evacuees had nice Guardians, who would feed and look after them, others didn't because their Guardians did not want them. They would have lost an awful lot of possession's, and most likely family members in the war, and the horrible memory will stay with them, forever.

Yes. The food rationing in German occupied Poland during World War 2 was severe beyond belief. It is reckoned that the food ration in many cities represented around 20 to 30 per cent of daily needs. The balance, often not met, was made up by a dogged and dangerous black market system with farmers and traders smuggling supplies into towns and cities at night and by any means possible. The penalty if caught could range from giving up the food to a German soldier to being shot on the spot. The Jewish communities, when confined to the walled Ghettoes, were outside the rationing system and, not surprisingly, death by starvation was widespread. There is a large amount of literature on this topic on the web, from academic studies to personal memoirs which make tough reading. It is important that these records are known and circulated within the world's education system in order to add depth to the often shallow knowledge of history taught in schools.

World War Two had a profound effect on the women of the United States -- particularly in the area of employment. Prior to the war most women were homemakers, stay-at-home mothers. few had a job or worked. Jobs for women were limited -- nurses, salesgirls, domestics (cooks, maids, cleaning women, etc.). During the war -- with all the men of draft age in the service and a giant demand for workers in war plants, factories, etc -- the women had to give up their old ways, roll up their sleeves and go out and work for the war effort. Needless to say they performed an enormous service for the country. I don't know what the country would have done without them. This broke the male-female work barrior and from then on there have been more and more women in the workforce. I don't know what the percentage of women in the workforce is today -- but it's very high. The extra income with both husband and wife working certainly provides them with a better lifestyle, better housing, and a lot of things their grandmothers didn't have. vcs

== == Women were trained to do machine work, to help to produce everything from air craft parts, to radios to boots to tires to,,,,,,,,,,,,You get the picture. Depending on her abilities and how she was trained, may women became expert makers of complicated machined parts that went into weapons and vehicle engines. Aircraft engines require perfectly balanced parts and they have to be made to close tolerances, and with no defects. Most war material plants had a small number of older, experienced men who had to train the women, who were taking the places of the young men who had gone into active military service. Once a woman was good at her job, she trained other women to do it as well. If she got really good at her job she might be promoted to a lead hand so she was supervising a "work group" of 10 to 20 other women, and she had to keep the work going and maintain quality control on the product being made. She was also required to keep track of their scarp amounts and make sure they were NOT wasting materials or goofing off in the bathroom. Music and jokes went a long way towards making the time pass quickly, even at 4 am on the over night shift. Not all women were able to do factory work, so they might wind up learning how to drive a truck, or a train. Or become a nurse or a lab technician.

Because all of the men were off fighting the war there were not enough to do all the jobs at home. If the women had not stepped up to the jobs, there would have been much bigger shortages of materials and food necessary to both fight the war and keep the people in the US fed and taken care of.

As with all collectibles, it depends. I am only speaking here of WWII Ration Stamp Books. The largest consideration is condition--not only of the boolket folder, but of the stamps thatmay still be inside. From recent purchases from several dealers int he stamp collecting business, purchase price ranges between $2.00 (few stamps) and $15.00 (many stamps). If you chose to sell to one of these dealers, the offering price would probably be about 50% of that.

In Ex Parte Endo, 323 US 283 (1944), the US Supreme Court held there was no legitimate, legally sanctioned reason for holding loyal, law-abiding Japanese-American citizens in internment camps once the government determined they weren't threats to the nation's security. The Court declared their detention was not authorized under Executive Order 9066 nor subsequent legislation; the war-time orders were intended only to protect the country from espionage and sabotage, not to discriminate against an entire class of people based on their ethnic heritage.
