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 hyperbole in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The most obvious use of hyperbole in "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when the narrator describes Della's and Jim's evaluations of their two treasures—her long, luxuriant hair and his gold watch. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...
