Q • A variety of achievements enabled the United States to prevail in the Second World War. Conversion of domestic to wartime production and wartime finance enabled the country to produce the materials needed for victory. American commanders adopted battle strategies throughout the war that enabled the allies to defeat what appeared to be overwhelming odds in 1942. And the U.S. benefitted from luck and bad decision making by its enemies. Of these three, which do you believe contributed the most to the American victory in the war? • American culture changed radically in the immediate wake of World War Two. An enormous economic boom brought unprecedented prosperity, radical changes happened to the American family, an anti-communist hysteria overtook the nation, and the United States embarked on a new Cold War with a massive peacetime military establishment. Of these four developments (and only these four), which do you believe made the greatest impact on American society and culture?
