World War II Part 2 - The Homefront: Crash Course US History #36

[@pollux3742]

If your teacher wants you to write 15 facts, here you go :) 1. WWII strengthened the federal government of the U.S. 2. Unemployment dropped from 14% in 1940 to 2% in 1943. 3. By 1944 American factories were producing an airplane every 5 minutes and a ship every day. 4. U.S. GNP went from 91 billion to 214 billion during WWII 5. Government expenditures in WWII were twice the amount the had been in the previous 150 years combined. 6. After WWII 40 million Americans played income taxes. 7. Union membership went from 9 million in 1940 to almost 15 million in 1945. 8. By 1944 women made up 1/3 of the civilian labor force and 350,000 were serving in the military. 9. Married women out numbered single women in the workforce. 10. By 1946 more than 1 million former soldiers were enrolled in college and almost 4 million got assistance with mortgages. 11. About 500,000 Mexican men and women served in the armed forces during the war. 12. Executive order 9066 in February 1942 expelled all persons of Japanese descent from the west coast. 13. 70% of Japanese Americans lived in California and as a result, over 200,000 people were sent to internment camps. 14. Executive order 8802 banned discrimination and defense hiring and created the fair employment practices coming. 15. By 1944 more than 1 million black people were working In and 300,000 of them were women.

[@EmptyHand49]

What school?

[@shavisikaria9228]

HA Germans have no right to say anything about what happened during WW2. That's not history that you get to write.

[@azenett7670]

Agreed! I'm a Mexican American and it troubles me so much that Americans don't know anything about the world and they are so ignorant that they don't even care or want to learn because they live in their own little bubble and a state of mind like "America is the best country in the world USA USA USA!!" I admire Europeans for being so culturally knowledgeable and always being well informed. I wish more America was like that

[@auyabbaby]

I learned more in this one video than I did in 12 years of public school.

For those studying for the AP exam, congrats, you reached the end of what you need to know for this year! Unless you wanna watch more to possibly get contextualization, in which case good luck!

[@Nikko_Suave]

We need to clone +John Green and use him to replace all high school football coach history teachers. Then, we need to pay the clones (and all other teachers) 100 percent higher wages for the extremely important work they do.

In a Millenium after countless wars, and billions of casaulties, the John Green clones will create a crash course "How the Clones Took Over The World" and look back on this comment, realising this troll post was the pioneering idea that enabled them to take over the natural world and enslave humanity.

[@selena7861]

[@davidcliff2141]

I would like to go back in time and have teenager John Green be my waiter at steak and shake.

[@crashcourse]

In which John Green teaches you about World War II, as it was lived on the home front. You'll learn about how the war changed the country as a whole, and changed how Americans thought about their country. John talks about the government control of war production, and how the war probably helped to end the Great Depression. World War II Part 2 - The Homefront: Crash Course US History #36

[@snoiprocs16]

why everyone are force to accepts Bretton Woods agreement. That sucks. and since when the Dollar is backed by Gold? it only backed by dept. Seriously John Green.

[@michaelcurrier4492]

snoiprocs16 H.J. Res. 192, approved by President Roosevelt on June 5, 1933, provided that obligations payable in gold or specific coin or currency are contrary to public policy, and that those obligations could be discharged dollar for dollar in legal tender. After that resolution was adopted, currency of the United States could not be converted into gold by United States citizens, but the Treasury would convert dollars into gold for foreign governments as a means of maintaining stability and confidence in the dollar. Because the dollar was no longer freely convertible, one could consider that the United States was no longer on the gold standard at that time. If, however, one considers the gold standard as a monetary system in which the unit of money is backed by gold even if the monetary unit cannot be converted into gold, one could argue that the United States went off of the gold standard on August 15, 1971 when President Nixon announced that the U.S. dollar would no longer be convertible into gold in the international markets. The President was able to suspend the ability to convert the dollar into gold because there was no legal requirement that the United States exchange gold for dollars. On December 18, 1971 the President devalued the dollar, and even though the devaluation was effective immediately, only Congress could officially change the gold value of the dollar. Early in 1972, Congress passed Public Law 92- 268, which gave formal approval to the December 1971 devaluation. I get the feeling this is what he was talking about. Try maybe googling it a little bit next time? It's really easy.

[@tini92ful]

I am teacher, and I love Crash Course because it's awesome! However, I teach theatre and very little of Crash Course content has anything to do with theatre or creative arts. Have you all ever thought about creating a Crash Course series for theatre or art history? They would be super helpful for arts teachers.

[@aaronlutz5560]

Most of the crash course series appears to follow AP classes so..... Unless it's AP Art History I don't think it is very likely.

[@seanwebb605]

Could you please do a video on the Japanese American internment camps? Not a lot of people know about it and how it affected them. As a 4th generation Japanese American whose family went to the camps, I am disappointed that a lot of people are unaware of this event and are now trying to do the same for Muslim Americans(post 9/11).

[@prouddegenerates9056]

coolarashifanftw I find it hard to believe that anyone over 18 doesn't know about the camps, but I did talk to a kid at the hospital (I'm a nursing student) about 14 that didn't know what the EU is and considering that who knows.

Well I didn’t get to copy and paste my answer, because I was using a Mac and I didn’t remember how to copy and paste. So, I’m going to try for the retake on June 1-5. But if I did get to do so, I think I would’ve done well.

i just realized this, but one of the things i love most about crash course is the perfect set up and length of the intro.

[@danielaconrad2125]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I am currently crash course studying for my 2nd final exam in History and this is so helpful! I am doing a presentation on:"The treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII" and I obviously need to be prepared for general questions regarding the 2nd WWII, so thank you!

[@squamish4244]

The first few decades after WW2 were the window of opportunity to establish a socialized healthcare system in the United States, just as it was for every other First World country (all of which did so). After that, the rapid expansion in medical services in turn led to the insurance lobby becoming too powerful, and FDR's ambitions were tragically never realized.

[@eflint1]

Where in the Constitutions can the Federal Government force the States to participate in a national healthcare system?

aismartie14 Aw poop

[@cacksm0ker]

Actually, this video is only about the domestic side of the war within the USA, which is a pretty narrow topic to begin with, but there still is a lot of information that they have to present in 14 minutes. It's hard work cutting everything down while still having some sort of themes to stick to in order to keep people's interest. Pretty hard work! But yeah... why bother with learning? We need to focus on whether things have been MENTIONED or not!!!

[@kjustsaying]

I've tried watching this like three times and I zone out after like eight minutes. :(

This is my favorite episode of Crash Course. Well done, John.

[@yakota18]

Thank you for talking about the Japanese interment camps! A lot of people don't know anything about that and it's nice that that subject got attention in your video.

[@alexbaker6797]

I really like this series particularly because John tries to take a balance approach giving both sides admitting both what have done wrong also what we have done right. But more importantly i feel he just explained what america and our history is really about its not about how perfect or amazing we are as we have seen we dont have the best record but the ideals we have developed and what it represents to the US and the world and how we are continually striving for this ideals we have.

[@MessengerAndrew]

What a beautiful episode. Well done, this is probably my favourite of all your shows.

[@giselleoliveira7627]

Thanks John and all the Crash Course team for the World and US History Series. They were amazing! Please keep doing more series!! A Terror History Series (not only US but worldwhile, religious and/or political motivated) would be an opportune one. I know it will be very controversal but also very opportune to our times. People seems to be very confused about it. A World History of Arts Series will be also great (maybe not that popular, but I would love it!).

Immensely helpful to learn about this war with a home-front perspective, especially from an economic and policy aspect.

[@MarvelousSeven]

How about an episode on The Winter War, Finland vs USSR?

[@Ted52]

Not a big enough topic.

[@charleslarue792]

DeathdwarfRising I dunno. It could be an interesting topic of discussion for one the Crash Course World History 2 episodes. They tend to have a narrower focus.

[@Ted52]

Charles Larue Well, it would not be a Crash Course. You can say everything there is to say about the Winter War in 10 to 15 minutes.

[@charleslarue792]

DeathdwarfRising Which is, conveniently, the length of a Crash Course episode! *mic drop*

[@charleslarue792]

*shrug* Whatever you say, bub. It's a moot point anyway; the Winter War doesn't really have all that delicious trade and cultural exchange that gets Crash Course excited, and it was really one front of a much larger conflict anyway. More likely it would be a case study or an example than an episode of it's own. In any case, I feel that that language was entirely uncalled for, sir.

So, what I got from this is that the US grew exponentially because of government spending? If so, how come there's so much controversy surrounding government spending whenever it's proposed in the US today?
