 * Japan expanded the most at china. The reason is because japan lack resources and china didnt. so they started to take over it.
 * After a while the United State started to get involved because of japans actions. the reason they started to but in is because they told japan to get out of china, they kept pressuring them but they wouldnt listen.

Stage 2 Items that were rationed were Butter,coffee,matches,chewing gum,oil,rubber,beef,and pineapple because people were generally willing to do without in an effort to send more to the military items.

"Do you think rationing was necessary during WWll?" yes i do think rationig was neccesary because they helped support WWll in many ways.



Office of war information the purpose was to consolidate government information services, it coordinated the release of war news.

Propaganda definition Information, espcially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

> In an atmosphere of World War II hysteria, President Roosevelt, encouraged by officials at all levels of the federal government, authorized the internment of tens of thousands of American citizens of Japanese ancestry and resident aliens from Japan. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, dated February 19, 1942, 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. Although it is not well known, the same executive order (and other war-time orders and restrictions) were also applied to smaller numbers of residents of the United States who were of Italian or German descent. For example, 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 (and others from those groups) 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. > []
 * They used poster and radio broadcast
 * "Do you think the propaganda that the office of war information was good or bad for the war?"
 * I think it was good because some people wanted to know what was going on in the war.
 * Internment camps
 * It was a place where all the japanese were sent no matter where they came from. Japannese were still sent to the interment camps, only because they were japanese.
 * ==Executive Order 9066: The President Authorizes Japanese Relocation==


 * "DO you think executive order 9066 was necessary?"
 * no i dont think it was a good idea because they took everybody that was japanese, german, and italian in the united state. and aslo they were citizen of america.they put all this people in internment under surpurvision.
