What were the technological and the economic factors that impacted the United States military during the World War II?

The United States military was impacted by technological and economic factors during World War II. New forms of technology were used to help our military accomplish its goals. The navy was able to use sonar and radar to spot the German submarines. This helped to make it safer for Allied ships crossing the ocean. We also used radar to spot enemy airplanes.

The United States military was impacted by technological and economic factors during World War II. New forms of technology were used to help our military accomplish its goals. The navy was able to use sonar and radar to spot the German submarines. This helped to make it safer for Allied ships crossing the ocean. We also used radar to spot enemy airplanes. We developed the atomic bomb as a new weapon using newer forms of technology. This bomb helped bring World War II to an end.


There were economic factors that helped our military during the war. Because Great Britain didn’t have enough money to buy supplies from us, the Destroyers for Bases program was developed. This allowed our military to build bases in lands controlled by Great Britain. This allowed our military to have places to stop and refuel during the war. Additionally, with so many people unemployed as a result of the Great Depression, there were plenty of soldiers who could be drafted and plenty of people who could work in the war industries. It was the start of World War II that really ended the Great Depression for us. Our military benefited by having an ample supply of people who could be drafted into the military and who could go to work in the factories to produce the supplies and the equipment our soldiers needed.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict.

Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.
