World War II: The Impact at Home\n\nThe quick fall of France to the German army in 1940 shook the strong pacifist sentiment of the American public. Suddenly, Great Britain alone stood between Nazi Germany and the United States. Once the United States was fully committed to the war in December of 1941, patriotism soared in American society. Americans' willingness to carry out blackout and civil defense drills; to recycle metals, paper, and even cooking fats; to work longer hours, but to have fewer consumer goods to buy with their salaries demonstrated the nation's strong support for the war. There were political changes as well, as the country began to shift to the right. \n\nhttp://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture21.html\n\nWhat effects did WWII have on women in America?\n\nWomen began to do the jobs that the men used to do. They worked in factories, steel mills, and on fighter planes. A woman who worked in an industrial or manufacturing job was refered to as "Rosy the Riviter".\n\nWomen married earlier in life, had more children and relied much less on their husbands after the war. The divorce rate in the United States and Britain skyrocketed, compared to previous years. Women held higher paying jobs than in pre-war years, and this caused some conflict when men were discharged from the military and wanted their old jobs back, which were now held by women.\n\nWomen went into the workplace and never looked back. They took over factory jobs, drove trucks, flew military aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean to England, and numerous other jobs that had traditionaly been open only to men. Once the men returned from the war the women were more independant than ever and would never be content to sit at home again.\n\nWomen played the role of helping fabricate weapons and bombs and all the equipment the soldiers would need. Women never set foot on the battle field but they also were nurses and assistants and that helped alot since they needed medical treatments\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_effects_did_WWII_have_on_women_in_America

The United States took a neutral position before entry into WWI.  Wilson had initially run on the platform of the man who would keep the U.S. out of the war.  The government also felt that entry onto the British side would divide the nation (with the U.S.'s large german population.)  The Zimmerman telegram would change all that, of course....

I would say how much did it make america earn. America was just an emerging country in the beggining of the century. It got awfully rich after WWI, and awfully rich after WW2\n\nselling arms during the war, and reconstructing after.

The underlying causes of World War I were the intense nationalism that permeated Europe throughout the 19th and into the 20th century, the political and economic rivalry among nations, and the military buildup that occurred after 1871, when Germany emerged as a great world power.\nThe assasination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand was just a match to the powder keg.

The U.S. Civil War was the eventual impact of States Rights on the North and South.\n\nThe South claimed that slavery was a State rights issue, although the war was more about States rights than slavery.  The South seceded due to State rights.

1. Wars can escalate to the point where they involve muh of the world (as hapened twice in the 20th century).\n2. Wars can devastate the environment, contribute to global warming, or have much more sever consequence if they involve nuclear weapons.\n3. Wars can impact global trade and trade routes, which can affect all countries.\n4. War-torn areas typically become breeding grounds for disease.  There are historically many plagues that follow wars, which spread far beyond the war zone.\n5. If someone else's government wins something via a war, your government may decide it is a good idea to draft you and start a war of its own.

This sounds like a homework question.   But maybe this will help.\n\nEnding the War\n\nExpectations were simply too high on all sides because of the intense, brutal years of war which preceded the peace conference. WWI as the World’s first “total war” in which all segments of society, military and civilian, were deeply affected by the war\n\nAllies (Britain and France especially) wanted revenge and hoped to punish/weaken Germany and its allies substantially. Germany thought it would be treated as a equal power at the negotiations.\n\n\nVersailles Peace Treaty-1919\n\nWilson’s “14 Points” are almost completely rejected\n\nTerritory: Germany is forced to surrender roughly 15% of its pre-war state to the allies or new countries like Poland; many important mining and industrial areas put under Allied occupation\n\nMilitary: Few limits on victor powers; Germany forced to a 100,000 man army, few modern weapons, and almost no navy\n\nFinancial: In effect, forced Germany to hand the Allies a blank check; repayment of war penalties was not fixed at the conference and Germany was left to repay an incredibly large sum over years. \n\nA very bad treaty: satisfies almost no one, including the victors, and deeply angers Germany and leaves a strong sense of resentment about the lost war.

I am not going to answer that question for you because that seems like a homework question - but as I normally do I will give you websites so that you can read find out the answers for yourself (I am sure that is what your teacher would want you to do - answer this question yourself - plus you wont learn the answer well if I just tell you it).\n\nFor WWI go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_one#Causes\n\nFor WWII go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Two#Causes\n\nNeutrality Acts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrality_Acts\n\nGood Luck!!!

As a result of WWI, Germany got trampled politically and economically.  Germany was forced to pay huge monetary remunerations since it was blamed for causing WWI.  Internally their money was undervalued and inflation was rampant.  One of the parties trying to gain control in the government was the Nazi party.  Hitler came to power in I believe 1933 with promises of a better quality of life, prosperity and (a big factor) a plan to regain Germany's status on the world stage.  He violated conditions set down in the Treaty of Versailles of June 28, 1919.  He built up the military beyond the treaty's limits i.e. built ships bigger than allowed, more tanks than were allowed, planes, etc.\n  Also, he had the idea that someone had to be blamed for the general poverty of the populace.  This was deemed the "Jewish problem".\n    The possible precursor to WWII was his being given the "Sudetenland" in Czechoslovakia.  Instead of the rest of Europe standing up to his aggressive invasion plans, it was thought if he was given some land he'd be happy and go back to his trampled nation.  Well, as we all know, that didn't happen.

Like any other nation, a war is costly and, during teh war, production is high and productivity is better than it was before. After the war, there is less need for production (since artillery and war materials are not as necessary). The veterans from the war also come back to the workforce, and the backlash would result in unemployment, whether it be for the veterans or the current workers. Also, due to the German air raids over britain, the cost for reconstruction would hinder other areas of productivity that would boost teh economy. The lack of demand over luxury goods, since people need money to buy other things like food, would lessen still since the people may fear losing their jobs. The overall world economy after world war I was devastating, not only in Great Britain.

If you want to know more information, you can find great articles about both wars on wikipedia. I have put links to the articles themselves. Be sure to click a few of the links in each section because the different parts of the wars are on different pages.\n\nBoth wars were massive scale, so there are pages focused on different parts and who was involved.\n\nHope this helps you out!

1. The security of the Western United States was severely threatened. The Pacific was no longer safe due to size.\n\n2. Public opinion regarding entering the war changed.\n\n3. War finally declared on Japan.

Not entirely sure what you mean by "change".  If you mean how the world was changed by the war and its legacy, I would say the technological advances that it triggered.  Advances in medicine, computers, nuclear power (and, of course, weapons).  Developments in powered flight also led to consumer aviation.  Then there were developments that weren't technological in the obvious sense, like advances in logistics and organisational structures: feeding, supplying and organising an enormous army fighting on the other side of the world is no mean feat.\n\nThe list is pretty long (see source below).\n\nThe end of European Imperialism was a pretty important legacy of the war, too.\n\nIf you're asking about the most important event, D-Day and Hiroshima must be up there.  I personally think the Nazis' decision to bomb London rather than concentrating on destroying the RAF may have been what lost the war for them more than anything else (though you could argue that the decision to attack Russia was pretty fateful).  If Britain had been knocked out of the war, it is doubtful that anyone else would have been able to prevent them dominating the continent.

Other influential political leaders argued strongly in favour of the USA maintaining its isolationist policy.
