Role of Women During WWII - While the men were away at war, the women took over their jobs to support their family. During this time there was also a significant amount of women who volunteered as nurses in the Red Cross to care for injured soliders.
C & E of Atomic Bomb - The Atomic bombs were created due to Japan bombing our Naval base at Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. This aggressive action brought the U.S into war with Japan and Truman issued the dropping of the Atomic bombs on the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In Hiroshima, 90,000 civilians died instantly as well as 70,000 more in Nagasaki. The bombs also left lasting effects on the cities such as: radiation and destruction of cities, houses and people.
U.S Foreign Policy Before, During and After the War - Before the war, the U.S declared its neutrality and was not interested in any foreign affairs. At the start of the war, we tried to stay out of direct fighting but would supply aid to allied countries. It was not until the attack on Pearl Harbor that we actually joined the war. After WWII, we were recogized as a dominant country and were very involved in international policies and affairs.

Japanese Internment - After Pearl Harbor, the U.S was on high security and felt threatened by any person who appeared to be Japanese, even if they were an American citizen. The Japanese were seen as a "clear and present danger" at this time so we the issued the containment of all Japanese people living in America to prevent further attacks or catch spies.
