Today we looked at evidence that would indicate World War II was in fact a total war (a war that requires all of a nation's resources). Rank your top 5 pieces of specific evidence that demonstrate WWII was a total war and provide a justification for each. Then, find someone else that has a different number one than yours and refute their selection.

We've discussed the events and policies that would eventually bring the Untied States into World War II. Having discussed the economic situation in America, the war in Europe and the Pacific, it is easy to understand that President Roosevelt would want to be involved in the war. This notion has led some to believe that FDR actually knew about the attack, along with its specific details, and let it happen without warning.
Having read the article on political myths and the testimonies during the investigation of this conspiracy that took place after the war, why do you think this "myth" took hold of many Americans? Do you think it is possible that FDR did know more than he let on? Explain your answer using the article and testimonies given to you on Friday. |
