Regents Review #11 (World War II)

The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II primarily affected those Japanese Americans who lived

• (1) in the Ohio River valley

• (2) along the Gulf Coast

• (3) on the West Coast

• (4) near the Rio Grande border with Mexico

After World War II, one important outcome of the passage of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (GI Bill) was that it

• (1) allowed women to serve in combat positions

• (2) limited suburban growth

• (3) provided funds for new military bases

• (4) created educational and housing assistance for veterans

This 1941 slogan of the America First Committee promoted

• (1) globalism

• (2) protective tariffs

• (3) isolationism

• (4) reduced military spending

The primary goal of this World War II poster was to convince the American public to

• (1) register for the draft

• (2) provide financial support for the war

• (3) support the internment of Italian Americans

• (4) defeat congressmen who voted to go to war

In what way did the traditional role of many women change during World War II?

• (1) They won leadership roles in Congress.

• (2) They accepted high-level management positions in war industries.

• (3) They were assigned to combat positions in the armed forces.

• (4) They took jobs in support of the war effort.

Adoption of the “cash and carry” policy in 1939 and passage of the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 showed a growing commitment of the United States to

• (1) provide aid to the Allied nations

• (2) force the Japanese out of Korea

• (3) increase trade with Italy

• (4) end German violations of American territory

A direct result of United States involvement in World War II was

• (1) an increase in the production of consumer goods

• (2) the entry of more women and minorities into the workplace

• (3) a decrease in industrial activity

• (4) a decrease in federal control over the economy

Which event was a cause of the other three?

• (1) Congress declared war against Japan.

• (2) Japanese Americans were interned by the federal government.

• (3) The United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor.

• (4) The United States dropped an atomic bomb on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Congressional legislation passed in 1940 to create a military draft was controversial primarily because it

• (1) required ratification by three-fourths of the states

• (2) made women eligible for combat

• (3) overturned President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s veto

• (4) raised fears that the United States would be drawn into war

The Lend-Lease Act was passed by Congress in 1941 primarily to
