Summary
World War II (1939-1945) impacted the world in countless ways, but what was life like for those left behind during the war? Not all Americans fought in the war directly, but all American lives were changed by the conflict. Learn about war, the draft, and how people in the Allied countries contributed to the war effort. Discover why women joined the workforce in great numbers; how posters promoting the war helped mobilize the United States, and why certain foods and other goods were rationed. Get firsthand accounts of life on the home front, and how people rallied to support the troops.
