Study Notes
Exam Questions
- Question 1: The Treaty of Versailles created conditions for WWII by failing to promote lasting peace, fostering German resentment, and encouraging nationalism and expansionism.
- Question 2: American response to the 1930s global events was initially isolationist. Factors like historical experience, economic hardship, and a desire to avoid foreign conflicts influenced this approach. However, the aggressive actions of the Axis powers prompted a shift in the late 1930s, leading to eventual American involvement in WWII.
- Question 3: World War II began with specific events, prompting an initial hesitant response from FDR. As the war progressed, FDR's resolve to intervene and support democracy solidified, culminating in the US's entry into the war.
- Question 4: Japan's expansionist goals and desire for resources led to the attack on Pearl Harbor. This attack prompted the US to enter WWII.
- Question 5: The US's abundant natural resources like coal, steel, and oil, along with its strong manufacturing base, enabled it to vastly outproduce other countries in war materials, making significant contributions to its war efforts.
- Question 6: WWII had major effects on the American homefront, including women entering the workforce, increased morale buoyed by propaganda, and significant changes in societal roles.
- Question 7: African Americans and women significantly contributed to the war effort with increased participation in the military and the workforce. However, this participation was often segregated and discriminatory, and the lasting social changes for these groups following the war were mixed.
