2. President Franklin D. Roosevelt emphasized that every American, including civilians, would have to become part of the fight in order for America to win World War II. He called for a united effort from all citizens to support the war through various means such as production, conservation, and morale.<br /><br />3. Just four days after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941. This action brought the U.S. fully into the European theater of World War II.<br /><br />4. Once the U.S. joined WWII, nearly every eligible man was subject to the draft or volunteered for military service. It typically took several months from the time a man enlisted before he was trained and deployed to fight overseas, depending on the specific branch and role.<br /><br />5. By the end of WWII, approximately 12 million men were in the American armed forces. There were concerns about the rapid expansion of the army, including issues related to training, supply logistics, and maintaining discipline and morale among such a large number of troops.<br /><br />6. Initially, when the U.S. joined the war, American forces faced challenges and setbacks due to inexperience and the need to rapidly scale up operations. Roosevelt addressed the nation, urging patience and emphasizing the importance of perseverance and unity in overcoming these early difficulties.<br /><br />7. Roosevelt stated that the primary task of Americans back home was to support the war effort by increasing production and efficiency. Factories operated around the clock, often running 24 hours a day, to meet the demands for war materials.<br /><br />8. The conversion of the American automobile industry to produce weapons and military machines was remarkably swift, taking only a few months. During this time, workdays were long, often extending to 10-12 hours or more, to maximize output.<br /><br />9. During WWII, millions of women entered the workforce, with many working in factories. Women made up about 37% of the overall workforce during the war, significantly contributing to the production efforts.<br /><br />10. Boeing's Seattle factory produced over 12,000 B-17 Bombers between 1941 and 1945. Women constituted a significant portion of the workforce, making up about 40% of the employees at the factory.<br /><br />11. American factories were producing thousands of tanks and planes each month during WWII. By the war's end, shipbuilding had become so efficient that ships which previously took a year to build could be completed in just a few weeks.<br /><br />12. Hollywood stars contributed to the war effort by participating in USO tours to entertain troops, promoting war bonds, and creating films that boosted morale and supported the war message.<br /><br />13. Gas and rubber were conserved for the war effort through rationing programs. Citizens were encouraged to carpool, reduce unnecessary travel, and recycle rubber products to ensure sufficient supplies for military use.
