The U.S got involved in Asia because they had American loans to get goods from them.The goal of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was removing the British, Dutch, and U.S from Asia,because they wanted thier independence.They also had P-40 fighting airplanes named Flying Tigers.The greatest obstacle Japanse had with thier plan to dominate of the Pacific Ocean was trying to go without being seen. America demanded japan to get out of china for lifting the embargos on natural on natural resources. **

This happen because **** so many things had to be brought to the UK by a ship, and the German U-boats were sinking many of them as they crossed the Atlantic Ocean from North America. In order to send much-needed supplies to Great Britain, people in Canada and the USA had to give up SOME of what they were used to, but the rationing here was no where as bad as it was in Great Britain **

 * Do you think rationing was necessary during WWII? **


 * I honestly do think it was necessary becuase alot of people didnt have enough money to but the things they need, and i think the help from the countries really show that they really do care about their countries but i also disagree with it, i think they were going over bored saying that they can only change one time per year and only buy 5 pounds of meat a month i think that people overreacted with everything. **

====** ‍Propaganda-information,ideas,things such as rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person. **====

** ‍ex.they would use posters and radiocast **
====** ‍"Do you think the propaganda that the office of the war information was bad or gud for the war? **==== I**t was good because it was giving out information about wat was really going on**

**Efforts at home that made it to the front line!** **The Office of War Information**
 * During WWll there were many supplies that were running short. This is why the government introduced rationing to the people. Everyday items such as sugar, flour, cigarettes, and matches were rationed. Even gas was rationed, so this means that sometimes you could not go buy gas when you wanted to, or even go buy as much sugar and flour you needed. Many items such as rubber, tin, aluminum, and metal were salvaged as part of the effort. Overall, the rationing was good because it helped out the U.S military when supplies were low, and many people were okay with rationing because they were used to it from the Depression. **
 * The Office of War Information, or the OWI, was created in 1942 and was basically responsible the the propraganda and war info that was released to the public. Propraganda is information or ideas that are used to encourage or harm another group, such as Hitler did towards the Jews. Most propraganda in WWll for the U.S was encouraging, and at times boosted morale. It also gave citizins at home a feeling of relief, because they knew that the tide was starting to turn. Examples of propraganda that the OWI produced were posters, signs, and films/videos. **

**Youre Not Prisoners...**
 * With the threat of a Japanese invasion growing, the Japanese-American population from the west coast of the US were rounded up and sent to internment camps witht the passing of Executive Order 9066. Interment camps are basically detention centers that are used to hold political opponents and groups such as a civillian poulation in a critical war-zone. Altough the US produced propaganda videos to make it look like the Japanese in the internment camps were living well, they were very much prisoners in one way or another. In my opinion, the Ex. order 9066 was a tatical desicion in a time of war that was to try to protect the US, but maybe they could of approached it in a different manner.

**The Manhattan Project!**
 * The Manhattan Project was simply a secrect program being lead by the US with association from Canada and the UK make the worlds first atomic bomb that would acually help end WWll over time. The project began around 1940, and grew very large within the next years. The two atomic bombs, Fat Man and Little Boy were finally developed around 1945 and was dropped on Japan on August 6th and 9th. While the bombs were a good thing for the allied powers to end the war the development of atomic bombs were not good for humanity. **

** ..... **

 * internment camps and the purpose of executive order 9066. **
 * **guarded by soldiers**
 * **surrounded by barbed wire**
 * **300 people to one barracks.**

**Do you think the executive order 9066 was necessary?**
 * I strongly belive no because it was like they were prisoners .Even though they made it seem other wise it wasnt right. **
