It is 1942...
* The US military quickly grew to nearly four million troops. The United States spent most of 1942 fighting Japan in the Pacific and preparing to battle Nazi Germany.
* Two million women entered the workforce. Fewer than five percent of Americans were unemployed.
* The US Army was racially segregated, and African Americans launched a "Double-V" campaign to fight for victory against fascism abroad and against racism at home.
* Nearly half of Americans believed that Jews had "too much power and influence" in the United States.
* In November 1942, Americans learned about the Nazi plan to murder all the Jews of Europe. |
