to political instability for Weimar
Republic

– seen as an inept, slow and extremely
liberal form of parliamentary
government

“Peace in our time”
• FDR - Quarantine Speech - Oct 5,
1937 - FDR on collective security

"When an epidemic of physical disease starts
to spread, the community approves and joins
in a quarantine of the patients in order to
protect the health of the community against
the spread of the disease .... Most important of
all, the will for peace must express itself to the
end that nations that may be tempted to
violate their agreements and the rights of
others will desist from such a course. ... There
must be positive endeavors to preserve
peace ... Therefore, America actively engages
in the search for peace."
• Policy of Appeasement
• Munich Conference - Czech crisis -
Hitler announces he will take
Sudetenland; FDR calls for a
peaceful solution - Hitler agrees to
concessions
1941 lend-lease program - allowed Britain to
“borrow” military equipment for the war.
Atlantic Charter - August, 1941 - established a
political framework for U.S. involvement in the war.
Germany was first priority; Japan was second.

America Organizes forWar
✤ War brings major shift in American industry
✤ 1941 military spending was approx. 2
billion per month
✤ The first 6 months of 1942 spending
increased to 100 billion
✤ FDR calls for 60,000 planes; 45,000
tanks; 20,000 flak guns (anti-air) and 8
millions tons of ships
✤ LCVP (Higgins Boat) - one of the
primary reasons that America won the
war.
✤ War Production Board (Don Nelson)
held control over $100 billion in govt’
war contracts
✤ “czars” would push through
production orders
✤ 1942 - 33% of economy dedicated to
war and GDP growth from 1940 to 1945
was $99.7 billion to $211 billion
✤ 1940 to 1945 govt spending is $320
billion
“Andrew Higgins is the man who won the war for us.”
-President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1964 interview
America Organizes forWar
✤ During WWII, govt. attempts to
fund war through high taxes.
✤ However, taxes only pay for 41% of
total cost and therefore large deficit
spending occurs.
✤ Deficit spending used as a
justification by Keynesian
economics
✤ More jobs than people to work them.
✤ Public spending dramatically
increases, however, fewer goods are
available for purchase by civilians
✤ People now have more money, but
there is nothing to buy. Leads to
concern over price inflation of goods
✤ Fed. Govt. promotes war bond drive
as a way to fund WWII and give
people a sound financial investment
✤ $100 billion in bonds sold
✤ OPA (Office of Price
Administration) asked to keep
prices “in-check” for duration of
war. Largely seen as successful.
TheWar about Race
✤ Pearl Harbor ends the isolationist-
interventionist debate
✤ American’s unified by attacks and
generally there were no attacks on
civil freedoms in the US.
✤
Exception is Japanese
relocation
✤ 100,000 Japanese are relocated
due to Ex. Order 9066
✤
American govt. made no
efforts to assist Jews trying to
escape Europe until 1944
23
24
The People behind
the lines
✤ Women are brought into “blue
collar” industrial jobs in large
numbers, for the first time.
✤ By 1945, 20 million women
were working, which made up
35% of the total labor force in
America.
✤ 6.5 million women in
factories alone.
✤ New found income leads
to increased middle-class
wealth
APUSH Lecture Ch. 25 WWII in Europe
Blacks fight for
equality at home
✤ Black Americans receive few if
any rights at home
✤ “Jim Crow” army that fought for
freedom?
✤ A. Phillip Randolph - major civil
rights leader that pushed for
March on Washington. Efforts
resulted in FEPC
✤ FEPC (Fair Emp. Practices
Committee) - forbade
discrimination based on race
with employment on defense
contracts
✤ CORE (congress on racial
equality) pushed for sit-ins and
freedom rides during the war to
encourage unity
✤ Result was backlash from white
community at blacks and
latinos
✤ Zoot Suit Riots in LA - 1943
- American Sailors
✤ A. American riots in NY
and Detroit (30 killed in
riots in Detroit)
Blacks fight for
equality at home
TheWar in Europe
✤
Beat Hitler First - reasons for focusing on Europe
were:
✤ 1. German domination of Europe and
Atlantic
✤ 2. Concern over Axis influence in Latin
America (Argentina)
✤ 3. Germany seemed most likely to create
“super weapon”
✤
4. Great Britain totally engaged in war and
needed help
✤ 5. Nazi advance into USSR made victory
more likely
✤ “Beating Germany would expose Japan, but
beating Japan would not end the war”
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American government had a strong suspicion that Japan would use chemical
weapons on American soil. In order to make the threat of these types of attacks less scary to children, they designed a
gas mask to look like Mickey Mouse. This enabled parents to turn drills into a game.
At the end of the war, investigations were conducted into Japan’s infamous Unit 731. During one of these investigations
they discovered that Japan did in fact have plans to conduct an chemical attack on American soil.
Mad Jack was a British Army officer who went into battle
during WWII with bagpipes, a longbow, and his Scottish
broadsword.
“Any officer who goes into action without his sword is
improperly dressed.” – Captain Mad Jack Churchill
TheWar in Europe
✤ US and British commanders disagreed on proper
strategy for attacking Germany
✤ UK (Churchill) - attack where weakest (if at all)
✤ US - attack where strongest
✤ FDR and American generals favored establishing a
2nd front in France.
✤ Churchill preferred Soviet Union and Germany to
wear each other down first.
✤ German invasion of USSR, June 22, 1941
✤ “Sheer suicidal folly” for allies to attack
Germany in France.
✤ Focus is on North Africa and Middle East.

American Homefront During WWII
…The war created a glittering consumer paradise [in the
United States]… civilian purchases of goods and services
managed to grow by 12%. Most Americans had never had
it so good. They started half a million new businesses.
They went to movies and restaurants with habitual
frequency. They bought books, recordings, cosmetics,
pharmaceuticals, jewelry, and liquor in record volumes.
Racing fans wagered two and a half times more on horses
in 1944 than they had in 1940. Housewives shopped at
well stocked supermarkets, 11,000 of them built during the
war.
USSR Homefront During WWII
In the Soviet Union… the home-front experience was
nearly the opposite that in the United States—massive
invasion, followed by a crash mobilization program
characterized by harshly regulated scarcity. While the
Americans fought a war from an ever-expanding economic
base, the Russians were the only people forced to fight the
war on a steadily diminishing one… As German armies
advanced over the soviet heartland, Russian food output
fell by two-thirds… Russians by the millions slid into
agonies of squalor and deprivation; many starved.

  • 20. “Andrew Higgins is the man who won the war for us.” -President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1964 interview
  • 21. America Organizes forWar ✤ During WWII, govt. attempts to fund war through high taxes. ✤ However, taxes only pay for 41% of total cost and therefore large deficit spending occurs. ✤ Deficit spending used as a justification by Keynesian economics ✤ More jobs than people to work them. ✤ Public spending dramatically increases, however, fewer goods are available for purchase by civilians ✤ People now have more money, but there is nothing to buy. Leads to concern over price inflation of goods ✤ Fed.

  • 27. Blacks fight for equality at home ✤ Black Americans receive few if any rights at home ✤ “Jim Crow” army that fought for freedom? ✤ A. Phillip Randolph - major civil rights leader that pushed for March on Washington. Efforts resulted in FEPC ✤ FEPC (Fair Emp. Practices Committee) - forbade discrimination based on race with employment on defense contracts

In order to make the threat of these types of attacks less scary to children, they designed a gas mask to look like Mickey Mouse. This enabled parents to turn drills into a game. At the end of the war, investigations were conducted into Japan’s infamous Unit 731. During one of these investigations they discovered that Japan did in fact have plans to conduct an chemical attack on American soil.

  • 49. USSR Homefront During WWII In the Soviet Union… the home-front experience was nearly the opposite that in the United States—massive invasion, followed by a crash mobilization program characterized by harshly regulated scarcity.
