Chapter 20 Section 1 I can: describe the quick mobilization of the war effort

Section 1-6 Converting the Economy Roosevelt believed in giving industry an incentive to move quickly. The government signed cost-plus contracts agreeing to pay a company whatever the manufacturing cost, plus a guaranteed percentage of the costs as profit. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. (pages 612–613) The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), made loans to companies to help them with the cost of converting to war production.

Section 1-8 Why was the United States able to expand its war production so quickly after the attack on Pearl Harbor? The United States could expand its production in part because the government had begun to mobilize the economy before it entered the war. The government signed cost-plus contracts, and the RFC made loans to help companies with the cost of converting to war production. Converting the Economy (cont.) Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answer. (pages 612–613)

Section 1-9 American Industry Gets the Job Done After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 200,000 companies converted to war production. The automobile factories turned to the production of trucks, jeeps, and tanks. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. (pages 613–615) Henry Ford created an assembly line for B-24 bombers. Henry Kaiser’s shipyards built many ships but were best known for the Liberty ship, a basic cargo ship used during the war.

Section 1-13 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answer. American Industry Gets the Job Done (cont.) Why was the production of trucks, jeeps, and tanks so critical to the war? This was critical because the country that could move its troops and supplies the quickest usually won the battle. (pages 613–615)

Section 1-14 (pages 615–617) Building an Army In order to win the war, it was vital that the United States build up its armed forces. The Selective Service and Training Act was a plan for the first peacetime draft in American history. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. At first, the numbers of draftees was overwhelming. The GIs, meaning “Government Issue,” went through basic training for eight weeks.

Section 1-16 At the beginning of the war, the United States military was completely segregated. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Building an Army (cont.) (pages 615–617) The army air force created the 99th Pursuit Squadron, an African American unit. The African American pilots became known as the Tuskegee Airmen. WWII led to full military integration in 1948.

Section 1-20 Congress established the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in May This was the first time women were allowed in the military. By 1943 women became a part of regular war operations. The army, Coast Guard, the navy, and the marines all set up their own women’s organizations. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Building an Army (cont.) (pages 615–617)

Section 1-21 In 1941 the American troops were untrained and had little military experience. They did, however, get the job done and suffered the fewest casualties in combat of all the major powers in the war. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Building an Army (cont.) (pages 615–617)

Chapter 20 Section 2 iCan: explain the early war efforts made by America

Section 2-5 Holding the Line Against Japan After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Admiral Chester Nimitz, could do little to stop the advancing Japanese into Southeast Asia. Japan attacked American airfields in the Philippines and landed its troops in the islands. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. (pages 618–621)

Section 2-6 The commander of the Americans, General Douglas MacArthur, decided to take his badly outnumbered troops and retreat to the Bataan Peninsula. Roosevelt ordered the general to evacuate to Australia. The Allied defenders of Bataan finally surrendered, and thousands died on the Bataan Death March to a Japanese prison camp. Holding the Line Against Japan (cont.) (pages 618–621)

Section 2-6 The Doolittle Raid (pages 618–621) B-25 taking off from the Hornet Planes were to bomb Tokyo and then land safely 1,200 miles away in allied China. 71 of 80 crew members survived after planes had to take off earlier than planned. Led to increase pressure on Japan to destroy U.S. carriers (led to major Japanese loss at Midway)

Section 2-10 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answer. Holding the Line Against Japan Why did the Japanese decide to attack Midway Island? Midway Island was the last American base in the North Pacific. The Japanese believed that an attack on Midway Island would lure the American fleet into battle and enable the Japanese fleet to destroy it. The American fleet had to be destroyed in order to protect Tokyo from being bombed by American B-25s. (cont.) (pages 618–621)

Section 2-11 Turning Back the German Army The leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, urged Roosevelt to open a second front in Europe. Prime Minister Churchill wanted to be more cautious and attack the periphery, or edges, of Germany. In July 1942, Roosevelt ordered the invasion of Morocco and Algeria. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. (pages 621–623)

Section 2-12 On November 8, 1942, the American invasion of North Africa began under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower. General George Patton led the American forces in Morocco and captured the city of Casablanca. At the Battle of Kasserine Pass, Americans faced the German army for the first time. Turning Back the German Army (cont.) (pages 621–623)

Rommel

Section 2-13 Outmaneuvered and outfought, Americans suffered huge losses. The general in charge was fired and Patton was put in command. American and British forces finally pushed the Germans back. On May 13, 1943, German forces in North Africa surrendered. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Turning Back the German Army (cont.) (pages 621–623)

The Germans tried to capture Stalingrad, but the Soviets held their ground. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Turning Back the German Army (cont.) (SKIP) (pages 621–623)
