Detailed explanation-1: -Savannah and Brunswick were important to Georgia’s efforts in World War II in which way? Those are the two places where most of Georgia’s infantry were trained. Franklin Roosevelt used those locations as his primary headquarters in Georgia.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Brunswick shipyard produced 99 Liberty ships between 1943 and 1944. In 1944 alone, Brunswick built 53 vessels, beating Jacksonville and Panama City’s 51 each, and Savannah’s 44. The last ship, named the U.S.S. Coastal Ranger, was launched in March 1945.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the short term, the arrival of the Bell Bomber plant in Marietta, Georgia, was important for the production of the B-29 bomber, a bomber that was America’s most technologically advanced of the war. The company was able to produce over 650 of the bombers before the end of World War II.
Detailed explanation-4: -The need for Liberty ships for the war effort helped create thousands of jobs in the cities’ shipyards. Business profits declined due to a mass migration to Marietta following the opening of a bomber plant. Farmers grew wealthy as the cities became major agricultural producers for the military.
Detailed explanation-5: -Southern states were critical to the war effort during World War II (1941-1945), and none more so than Georgia. Over 300, 000 Georgians served in the military, and thousands of civilians worked in rapidly expanding wartime industries.
