Pearl Harbor was what forced the US into WWII. On December 7 1941 Japan bombed US naval ships in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The attack lead to 3500 people killed or wounded. The day after the bombing John F Kennedy declared war on Japan. The US going into war helped stop Hitler and get us out of the Great Depression.
Social
The war changed womens standards of working completely. Before ww2 women were expected to be housewives or have "normal" female jobs like being a nurse for example. Now with men accross seas fighting in the war, women were called on to do more "manly" jobs like working on the assembly lines.
Economic
The greatest thing to come from the war was that it helped our economy. The war demanded more soldiers and because it needed more soldiers they needed more supplies. This gave jobs to many women on assembly lines, making weapons and clothing.
Progress?
This period in time did show progress because it showed that women are equal and gave them more rights. WW2 produced many ideas that are still around today
