1. What were the four turning point battles of WWII for the Allies?
2. What was the long term-objective from the D-Day invasion?
3. Who became President of the US after FDR died?
4. Who were the leaders of Great Britain and The Soviet Union during WWII?
The Homefront• After Pearl Harbor, many
Americans came to fear that another attack was imminent on American soil. Fear-not facts- cause the American government to contain 127,000 Japanese-American citizens in internment camps.
Internment Camps: a prison camp for the confinement of enemy aliens, prisoners of war, political prisoners.
The Homefront• Much like WWI, many
Americans enlisted in the military, leaving their daily jobs behind. Women stepped in to fill the void and keep making bullets, tanks, planes, and other necessities.
• It was a combined effort for everyone. Dad went to war, Mom went to work, and the kids rationed their food for soldiers overseas.
