__WHY WHERE THESE THINGS RATIONED??__

 * The government introduced rationing because certain things were in short supply during the war, and rationing was the only way to make sure everyone got their fair share.



= __Was rationing necessary in world war II?__ =


 * **in my own opinion, I think rationing was important because they had hard times during was, and it was important to save things for worst emergencies.**

__Office of War Information__ The **United States Office of War Information (OWI)** was an agency created during the WWII to consolidate government information services. It coordinated the release of war news for domestic use, posters and radio broadcasts, worked to promote patriotism, warned about foreign spies and attempted to recruit women into war work. The office also established an overseas branch which launched a large scale information and propaganda campaign abroad.

Propaganda was used also to annunce things related to WWII.

He was encouraged by officials at all levels of the federal government. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, gave the military broad powers to ban any citizen from a fifty- to sixty-mile-wide coastal area stretching from Washington state to California and extending inland into southern Arizona. The order also authorized transporting these citizens to assembly centers hastily set up and governed by the military in California, Arizona, Washington state, and Oregon.3,200 resident aliens of Italian background were arrested and more than 300 of them were interned. About 11,000 German residents, including some naturalized citizens were arrested, and more than 5000 were interned. Yet while these individuals suffered grievous violations of their civil liberties, the war-time measures applied to Japanese Americans were worse and more sweeping, uprooting entire communities and targeting citizens as well as resident aliens. =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive;"> = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive;"> = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive;"> = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive;">//__Do you think Executive Order 9066 was necessary?__// =

 * The **Manhattan Project** was a research and development program. It was led by the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.Ther created the first atomic bomb in the times of WWII. The project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Army component of the project was designated the **Manhattan District**; "Manhattan" gradually superseded the official codename, "**Development of Substitute Materials**", for the entire project. Along the way, the Manhattan Project absorbed its earlier British counterpart, Tube Alloys.
