Topic.09 Concept !
Role of Women during WWII - To take over the jobs of men who left to fight war and to take care of things and family.
Cause/Effect of Atomic Bomb Use - Cause: Pearl Harbor Attack
Effect: 90k killed in Hiroshima; 70k killed in Nagasaki
U.S. Foreign Policy -
Effects of War on Europe - Germany was divided into 4 zones by victorious powers. U.S. aided England economic recovery; was extensively bombed by Germany
Effect of Pearl Harbor Attack - U.S. enters war with Japan & dropped atomic bombs
Japanese Internment - Citizens with Japanese ancestry who lived in the Exclusion Area, west of the Exclusion Area boundary line, and are either voluntarily or forced by the military to move into internment camps.
Neutrality Acts - Embargo on arms' sales, U.S. Battleships could not be armed, & Americans could not travel on ships of countries at war.
Purpose of Propaganda - To encourage or discourage the citizens to be supporters of the war. Posters are either pro war or against war. Some will try to encourage men to join the war, some will ask for people to send in money, food, or anything to help the soldiers. Others will be against war and list all negatives about it.
Rationing - Saving of materials such as tires, food, supplies such as clothing or other material that could be beneficial to help out soldiers in war.
Results of WWII - Japan surrenders on Sep 2, 1945. 61M people died, 25M Soviets, & 11M Chinese civilians suffered the most fatalities. As a result of the war, the United States emerged as the world's leading military and economic power, and geopolitical boundaries changed radically, with the Soviet Union controlling most of Eastern Europe. The strained relations between these two nations would set the stage for the Cold War, which would define global politics for decades to come.

Flight Jackets Count as Artifacts, Right ? :o
This WWII Flight Jacket is significant because it once belonged to a soldier who fought in WWII. The fact that it's in mint condition is even beter because you can see the designs and what it looked like back then in the 40's.

Grant Us ALL of History
Dear Dr. Rhinehart,
I believe that we should not "deny" high school students history for a few reasons. History is something that we need to know, it is how we learn about the past; a people's past, your country's past, and most importantly, your past. A piece of history might just be information to some, but to others, it could be the whole of one's generation, waiting to be discovered. We may not know it yet, but we were all once connected so some piece of significant history. Some subjects sure may seem a bit, "too much" such as the Rape of Nanking, but remember, we are young adults, 15-18 year olds mature enough to handle these kinds of information. If you still think that some aren't mature enough to be learning this kind of history, you can pull them out but I assure you, the rest of us, are mature enough and are actually very interested in learning about these significant historic events. It just doesn't seem right to be denied information or the privilege of learning something because it is nothing but beneficial to the young student's mind to be fed new information everyday.
