WW2 Homefront

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.

its when people from talley run around and say i like emmanuel k

people figured out that women were actually really good at certain jobs and found that women did all the jobs that men did better. The women were much better than men but no one listened and women still didn't get heard ever. IF a women was skilled at a job and another man had no skills at all, she would have equal or much less to the man who has no experience. Women rule!

Well first off the American Federation of Labor (AFL) gave workers the right to organize, or create unions if they promised no strikes and an 8 hour day. President Wilson asked for people to voluntarily agree for certain days of the week called "meatless and wheatless days" where people wouldn't eat meat one day of the weak and another day they wouldn't eat wheat, and things like that so they could save food for those fighting the war. People actually listened and did it too. World War I was the first time women worked in factories in large numbers. The Sedition Act came about, which said that it was illegal to speak against the war. The Great Migration happened, which was when many blacks started going North.

Heinrich Himmler was the head of the SS and also the head of all the concentration camps. He set up the first concentration camp at Dachau in March 1933.

They didnt do anything except fly around

Because it was short of food.

Always depends around what time it was.

if it was in the first world war then it was because the Germans had sunken all the ships which supplied englands so when it reached real crisis whole England had enough food to survive for 6 weeks. luckily the situation improved quickly.

The Allies (or the side that we were on) was made up of Russia, the US, and England. The Alliances that we formed helped us give each other supplies and send reinforcements if any of us needed them.

Well. If you want to get a sample of the music on jw pepper but don't want to buy it on some of the page for the book it will say Mp3 Audio if you click it there will be a terms of agreement that you have to agree to then it should play from there.

This question has been in the question pool for a while so I decided I would try to find an answer for you. I found some Ukrainian Russian women who were snipers in World War 2. It is on the link below.

many American prisoners were killed.

Brigadier General Benjamin Oliver Davis, Sr. (July 1, 1877 - November 26, 1970) was an American general and the father of Benjamin O. DavisJr.

Rosie the Riveter made the women believe that they could work in the factories and work like all og the men since they were all in the war at the time. You know they had to make a living too. :)

In the revolutionary war people took sides as either a partiot or as a loyalist.

Patriots believed in freedom and no longer wished to be under British rule.

While Loyalist felt they had to be loyal to the British king and did not believe in the freedom the patriots had thought of. Thomas Paine had wrote a famous news collom called 'Common Sense' it talked about his beliefs towards the king of Britain and his own as a patriot. Thomas Paine was a patriot and made that very clear, he argued about British rule through 'Common Sense'. Patriots fought in war against the British and the British fought in war to try to keep their rule of America. The Boston tea party was held by patriots when the British refused to stop their taxation toward the colonies for tea.

During the Boston tea party patriots snuck on a British ship sending shipping their tea disguised as native Americans and dumped all of the tea into the harbor.

You may be wondering why tea was so important to the Americans. It was not the tea that meant so much. But, It was the overall fact of taxing the Americas for their goods that really bothered them. Patriots had won the war on the 4th of July. This would be a good topic to do some research on because this is a topic that reaches far more than what I can tell you!

Many women had to sew their own clothing. Some had to take their pillow cases and make summer shorts out of them; others had to make skirts out of men's trousers.

In Britain, clothing and all fabrics were rationed from 1940 onwards and what could be obtained with the clothing coupons fell as conditions got more difficult. There was a government sponsored 'make-do-and-mend' campaign. The idea was to encourage women to repair older clothing, and many newspapers had practical advice on this. There was a flourishing market in secondhand clothes as these weren't rationed.

The 'early modern' styles of the 1930s continued, though they were often somewhat simplified. It became increasingly common to dress simply. Some people felt that the overall result was a kind of drabness.

Traditionally they wore flax skirts (piu-piu) and cloaks made from dog fur and/or feathers. Also woven bodices for women. Shells such as paua were used for decoration. Bird feathers were used to adorn and sometimes worn in the hair (which may be tied in a bun). The cloaks often represented status and respect (such as chieftanship) and are valued items. Today, Maori wear clothes that most people throughout the world wear - shorts, trousers, t-shirts, singlets, jandals, sneakers and whatever is in fashion or comfortable! Traditional clothing is still worn on special occasions and ceremonies, and in Maori performance groups (kapa haka).

Ah, but women can be satisfied. You just have to find what it is that that particular woman needs and how much. There is one thing though--you can't get something to a level and then stop working at it. It requires consistent attention.

Some women are only satisfied being dissatisfied. These women shape the behaviors of men, seeking to eventually change them. The male's frustration arises when the female employs a technique known as "random reinforcement," where the male is not necessarily rewarded for the correct behavior or punished for the undesired behavior.

I believe the real question is, "Why do women so desire to change men?"

IMPROVE
