1. What was the ABC-1 agreement? Who was it with and why do you
think the Allies decided to make this agreement?
Prior to the bombing at Pearl Harbor, the U.S. had agreed to the ABC-1
agreement with the British. It stated that if the U.S. entered the war, then
it would focus its efforts first on Germany. After Germany was defeated,
the Allies would focus on Japan. Focusing effort on single task
especially in was can yield a faster and more effective result!
2. What are a few reasons why WW 2 was a more complex war for the
United States than WW 1?
For the U.S., WWII was far more complex than WWI. It had to feed,
clothe, and transport its forces all over the world.
3. The book states that there was “almost no governmental witchhunting” of minority groups like in World War 1. Do you agree or
disagree with this statement?
Unlike in WWI, there was almost no government witch-hunting of
minority groups in WWII. The exception to this was when 110,000
Japanese-Americans on the Pacific Coast forced into concentration
camps. This was authorized by Executive Order No. 9066. Washington
feared that they might act as saboteurs for Japan in case of invasion.
4. What happened in the Supreme Court case of Korematsu v. United
States of America in 1944? Do you agree or disagree with the verdict?
The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the concentration
camps in Korematsu v. U.S. (1944). Most students will likely disagree.
This was one of the most racist and stupid things the US Government
has ever done!
5. By 1943 the Great Depression was nearly 100% over. Why was this
and why did the WPB stop the manufacturing of cars and even tires?
HINT: This even led to rationing and WAR RATIONS STAMPS!!!
The Great Depression was completely ended with the inrush of military
orders. Under the War Production Board (WPB), which oversaw U.S.
war production, American factories produced an enormous amount of
weaponry, such as guns and planes. The WPB stopped the manufacture
of nonessential items, such as passenger cars.
WE WILL SEE RATION STAMP BOOKLETS; WAR RATION COINS AND
SUPER-COOL STUFF!
The government imposed a national speed limit and gasoline rationing
after America's supply of natural rubber from British Malaysia and the
Dutch East Indies was broken.
A scarcity of consumer goods led to sharp inflation in 1942. The Office
of Price Administration (OPA) eventually brought the down prices and
curbed inflation.
The War Labor Board (WLB) imposed ceilings on wage increases.
Unhappy with the wage ceilings, some labor unions called their
members to go on strike. In June 1943, Congress passed the SmithConnally Anti-Strike Act. It authorized the federal government to
operate industries that were under strike, like coal mines and railroads.
