USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The United States home front during World War II supported the war effort in many ways, including a wide range of volunteer efforts and submitting to government-managed rationing and price controls. There was a general feeling of agreement that the sacrifices were for the national good during the war.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rationing on the Home Front Women replaced men in sports leagues, orchestras and community institutions. Americans grew 60% of the produce they consumed in “Victory Gardens”. The war effort on the United States Home Front was a total effort.

Detailed explanation-3: -The home front of the United States in World War I saw a systematic mobilization of the entire population and the entire economy to produce the soldiers, food supplies, munitions, and money needed to win the war.

Detailed explanation-4: -The term “home front” covers the activities of the civilians in a nation at war. World War II was a total war; homeland military production became even more invaluable to both the Allied and Axis powers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Without the steadfast support of the “Home Front”-the factory churning out weapons, the mother feeding her family while carefully monitoring her ration book, the child collecting scrap metal for the war effort-US soldiers, sailors, and airmen could not have fought and defeated the Axis.
