Period 2, 5, & 6 We will examine how America prepared to fight World War II. Rationing Chapter 17 notes Trinity Test Navajo Code Talkers Red Tails

Chapter 17 Section 1

Selective Service After Pearl Harbor, 5 million men volunteer for military service 10 million more drafted to meet needs of two-front war Expanding the Military • Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC)—women in noncombat positions • Thousands enlist; “auxiliary” dropped, get full U. S. army benefits

Dramatic Contributions Japanese and African Americans fight in segregated units Navajo Indians become code talkers for the Marines

The Industrial Response Factories convert from civilian to war production Shipyards, defense plants expand, new ones built Produce ships, arms rapidly - use prefabricated parts - people work at record speeds

Mobilization of Scientists Office of Scientific Research and Development— technology, medicine • Manhattan Project develops atomic bomb

Economic Controls • Office of Price Administration (OPA) freezes prices, fights inflation • Higher taxes, purchase of war bonds lower demand for scarce goods • War Production Board (WPB) says which companies convert production - allocates raw materials - organizes collection of recyclable materials Rationing • Rationing—fixed allotments of goods needed by military
