WW2 Homefront

They were transported by trains and given name tags to identify them while the billeting officer sorted out where they would go within the villagers .

I should imagine the air raid wardens by sounding an air raid siren!

After the battle Britain :)

Anything they were ordered to do really. Some would go to farms and help out with the animals or crops. Others would just go to live with people in the country and would help out around the house e.g. building the shelter in the garden, cleaning the house, cooking food or taking things round to neighbours etc.

That varied from country to country and depended on the period within the war. In Britain the rations were not generous but at least one could get what one was entitled to. In Germany, in the later stages of the war, it was often impossible to get what one was entitled to, and in 1944-45 the situation there was grim.

The attack on Pearl Harbor brought a quiet nation to its feet. At this time in history no one was going to hurt another American while the nation sat back and watched. Everyone jumped in to help wherever they could. The men lined up to enlist in the war, the women went to the factories to fill the men's shoes, and eventually making the equipment and machinery they needed to fight the war. Wives and daughters kept businesses open til the men returned.

Anne's family consisted of 3 people, excluding herself: Otto Frank [father], Edith Frank Hollander [mother] and older sister Margot Frank. The only survivor of the family from the holocaust was Otto. The two sisters dies from typhus. And the mother also died of disease. Even though Otto missed his family, I believe he wished to forget a few painful memories and remarried a Holocaust survivor like himself.

How and why did the role of women change after ww1 ?

The Allies top priority in World War II was the defeat of Nazi Germany. A majority of their military assets were used against Germany with the war against Japan being seen as secondary. To this end, the Western Allies provided material assistance to the Soviet Union and engaged in a strategic bombing campaign against Germany until they opened the "Second Front" by invading Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. Meanwhile, they had tied down considerable German forces by invading Italy in 1943.

There were still major shortages of materials. It took a lot of time to convert the war production back to civilian and non-war production. It took time to grow crops and change production lines to produce shoes rather than combat boots.

Since men were at the war they didn't work so the women had to take over the men had to do like work in big factories making clothing and they cooked food what was sent to the war.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH THATS WHY I'M ASKING BUT I KNOW THAT WOMAN WERE MADE TO WORK IN FACTORS WHERE THEY MADE WEAPONS FOR DURING THE WAR.

A better explanation:

Women filled many jobs brought into existence by wartime needs. As a result the number of women employed increased from 3,224,600 in July, 1914 to 4,814,600 in January 1918. Nearly 200,000 women were employed in government departments. Half a million became clerical workers in private offices. Women worked as conductors on trams and buses. A quarter of a million worked on the land. The greatest increase of women workers was in engineering. Over 700,000 of these women worked in the highly dangerous munitions industry. Industries that had previously excluded women now welcomed them. There was a particular demand for women to do heavy work such as unloading coal, stoking furnaces and building ships.

On September 25th, 1939, Germany terror bombed the city of Warsaw, Poland. Historically, this was the first 'blitz' air raid upon a civilian population, with an estimated 1150 bombing sorties made by the Luftwaffe, dropping approx 500 tons of explosives and 72 tons of incendiaries in the Warsaw Blitz. So, in answer to your question, Germany started the Blitz.

They quarantined people that were infected, moved away from cities with high amounts of people suffering from the plague, burned the infected bodies when they died to prevent it from spreading, and they use to wear masks over their noses that were filled with things like dried flowers which they believed prevented them from getting it, although this didn't really help.

some items, such as suger, was rationed to about 1947

The emperor of Japan during WW 2 and the subsequent atomic bombing was Hirohito.

It exposed US soldiers, (US citizens) to new cultures, languages and ideas. The German autobahn seen by Eisenhower influenced his ideas about American highways. There were probably more examples of good things like this being brought home and used in the US. It all but eliminated the isolationist view. It influenced Japan to be more western and American which in return lead to Japan making many things bought by the US. It also opened up foreign markets to American goods.

At the beginning of World War Two (and before) men willingly enlisted. The government put the draft in place eventually. The draft weeded out those who were not eligible to serve and those who could. Men continued to enlist willingly though.

Some young men who were only 17 uncommonly and fraudulently enlisted too by telling the recruiters they were 18 and often showed false papers.

Yes. While coffee production was still up during this time, the availability of shipping was limited since all of the available ships were being put to use in war efforts. In April of 1942, government limited roasters to 75% of the previous year's supply and in September it was cut down to 65%.

the British and US governments both issued ration books during WWII. they did this in Britain because Britain largely imported much of the "the necessities"(including but not limited to: sugar, tea, oil, wood, and produce). After WWII began, the Germans diseverly cut the amount of supplies reaching Britain by attacking the ships that carried them. In order to make sure that there was enough to go around, the British Government issued ration books(for more in fo about ration books in Britain, see what were ration books)

in the US, ration books were issued so that the government could provide enough supplies to its soldiers. It was all to support the war effort.
