1- Why did the U.S. avoid involvement in WWII until December 1941? Why was the Pearl Harbor attack such a shock to the U.S.?
They avoided the war because there was no reason for us to get involved, It was such a shock because we were at peace with japan.
2- Why was the invention of penicillin so important in the context of WWII? What were some other advances in medicine that were important during the war? To save peoples lies and to help when they need surgery. Blood banks and fake eye balls were another advance in medicine.
3- How were women affected by WWII? Do you think the war advanced the rights of women? Women were asked to come and work in the factories to help build stuff for the war and make weapons. Yes i believe this helped their right because it shows they can do a mans work.

7- Why do you think Japanese Americans were interned in camps during WWII? The U.S. government later apologized to Japanese Americans for these actions. Do you think a similar situation could happen in our world today? Discuss (MINIMUM 7 to 10 sentence well constructed explanation of your point of view) We put the japanese-Americans in camps because we weren't sure who to trust and they could have spies in the country. I believe that if we were attacked again than yes we might put them in camps again to just make sure that there are no spies. We are desperate to stay a free country so we will do everything in our power to stay free. so if that means we need to put people in camos to stay safe then yes we will do it again.
