Question 1

Accepted Answer

Answer would ideally include:
Economic Impact: The expansion of the economy brought millions of new workers into industrial jobs,including women,African Americans,and other groups that had previously been excluded from that sector of the economy.Women workers enjoyed new opportunities with old constraints,such as unequal pay and sexual harassment in the workplace.Industrial workers' wartime wages were high,but consumption opportunities were low.Unions grew dramatically,which aided workers' efforts to win higher wages and other concessions from management.
Social Impact: Shortages of food and other vital products led to rationing.Massive migration and increased geographical mobility led to increased racial conflict in urban America and new opportunities and greater equality for women and minorities.

Question 2

Explain why the United States used atomic weapons in Japan.

Accepted Answer

Answer would ideally include:
Strategic Considerations: The United States thought that the atomic bomb would likely end the war in the Pacific most quickly and without an invasion of Japan.
Racism: The war whipped up a great deal of anti-Japanese racism in the United States.It might have been easier for the United States to deploy the atomic bomb against a foe that was widely perceived as treacherous and inhuman.
Postwar Considerations: By August 1945,the early signs of the Cold War were already apparent.Truman was not ignorant of the fact that the United States had an exclusive hold on nuclear technology in 1945 and that using the bomb would show American power to the Soviets as well as to the Japanese.
