WORLD WAR II1939-1945 WORLD WAR II, 1939-1945 The modern world is still living with the consequences of World War II, the

most titanic conflict in history. Just under 69 years ago on September 1st 1939, Germany invaded Poland without warning sparking the start of World War Two. By the evening of September 3rd, Britain and France were at war with Germany and within a week, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa had also joined the war. The world had been plunged into its second world war in 25 years. Six long and bloody years of total war, fought over many thousand of square miles, followed. From the Hedgerows of Normandy to the streets of Stalingrad, the icy mountains of Norway to the sweltering deserts of Libya, the insect infested jungles of Burma to the coral reefed islands of the pacific. On land, sea and in the air, Poles fought Germans, Italians fought Americans and Japanese fought Australians in a conflict which was finally settled with the use of nuclear weapons. World War II involved every major world power in a war for global domination, and at its end, more than 60 million people had lost their lives, and most of Europe and large parts of Asia lay in ruins.

WORLD WAR II

World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII or WW2) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including all of the great powers, organized into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. The war involved the mobilization of over 100 million military personnel, making it the most widespread war in history.

and making both troops and supplies ready for war.

1.RATIONING

1. Rationing is the controlled distribution of resources and scarce goods or services.

2. Example of wartime conservation 1)Each household received a “C-Book”

with coupons to be used when buying scarce items (meat, sugar, coffee)

2)Gas rationing

2. WARTIME CONSERVATION

1.Methods used by Americans to contribute and to conserve for the war effort

1)Rationing 2)Carpooling and riding bicycles 3)Nationwide drives to collect scrap iron,

tin cans, newspaper, cooking grease to recycle and use in war production

During 1943, U. S. officials imposed a short-lived ban on sliced bread as a wartime conservation measure.

“I should like to let you know how important sliced bread is to the morale and saneness of a household. My husband and four children are all in a rush during and after breakfast. Without ready-sliced bread I must do the slicing for toast—two pieces for each one—that's ten. For their lunches I must cut by hand at least twenty slices, for two sandwiches apiece. Afterward I make my own toast. Twenty-two slices of bread to be cut in a hurry!”
