WW2 (2)

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

• in the Ohio River valley

• along the Gulf Coast

• on the West Coast

• near the Rio Grande border with Mexico

“All Federal Employees Required to Take Loyalty Oath”

“Army-McCarthy Hearings Begin”

“Rosenbergs Convicted”

These newspaper headlines from the decade following World War II are all connected to the

• war crimes trials in Japan

• passage of civil rights legislation in the United States

• fear of communism in the United States

• debate over economic aid to Europe

Before entry into World War I and before entry into World War II, the United States adopted foreign policies that

• stopped the spread of European aggression

• supported peace efforts of international organizations

• favored democratic nations but were officially neutral

• encouraged war by signing collective security treaties

The baby boom following World War II resulted in the

• development of urban unrest in the 1950s

• need to increase the number of schools in the 1960s

• migration from cities to farms in the 1970s

• need to decrease the number of nursing homes in the 1980s

During World War II, the federal government was accused of violating constitutional rights by

• signing the Yalta Agreement

• implementing a draft to expand the armed forces

• relocating Japanese Americans to internment camps

• initiating the secret Manhattan Project

· Alger Hiss conviction

· Rosenberg trial

· McCarthy hearings

These post–World War II events are most closely associated with the fear of

• an increase in immigration from the Soviet Union

• slender man

• an expansion of communism into Cuba

• a communist threat inside the United States

The relocation of Japanese Americans from the West Coast during World War II occurred because

• most of them were not citizens of the United States

• they refused to serve in the United States military

• they were needed to work at inland defense industries

• military authorities considered them a threat to national security

After World War II, the legal basis for the criminal trials of German and Japanese wartime officials by the Allies was that these officials had

• overthrown monarchies by force

• violated nonaggression pacts

• committed crimes against humanity

• established communist police states

During World War II, the federal government urged Americans to support the war effort by

• manufacturing more consumer goods

• increasing spending to stimulate the economy

• reducing consumption of resources needed for the military

• investing their savings in the stock market

The GI Bill helped World War II veterans by

• protecting them from being recalled to duty

• guaranteeing them government jobs

• giving them several types of economic assistance

• exempting them from federal income tax
