Answer 4

Let's first think of women:
- they produced ammunition and were employed during the war, what with the lack of males in the population = more economic power
- at the end of the war, many women were forced from their jobs because of return of male soldiers
- in the years after the war, women generally had more economic power which raised their status in society
- still some cultural stigma against women

Answer 10

The Civil Rights movement followed WW2, roughly, though it wasn't necessarily an effect of the war. One thing you should think about for African Americans, though, is the idea of white flight. So basically after WW2, there were a lot of veterans and demand for housing, so the first suburbs were built, and many whites 'fled' inner cities and the predominantly African American people who lived in those areas; this was sort of racist and may have contributed to the Civil Rights movement, but mostly it was just bad, economically and socially.

Answer 11

What do you think African Americans may have gained / lost as a result of the war?
