and theres one other thing that you wont hear dicussed,and one of the very greatest myths of the war. We hear all the time that US factories switched to war production for PATRIOTIC reasons. Absolutly NOTHING could be farther from the truth!factories in the US switched purely for monetary reasons. they simply could make more money building war goods than the could making cars,sewing machines etc. if they could build a tank,or a rifle for several times more money they switched. price freezes set by the gov KEPT them building war goods. simply put, it was far more profitable to build a $10 rifle than it was to build a $3 sewing machine. most industrialists of the day sided very closely with the axis powers before the war,and looked to europe and germany and its increasing economies as their future. we were still a mostly agricultural country,one long mired in the depression with very little chance of recovering soon. All the big money folks didnt want war, they wanted trade.germany ,italy,japan was where the money was, largely built by american money and forgien policies. very simply and crudely put,these were white races who mirrored the american policy of manifest destiny.japan was the last area left needed to insure white dominance around the globe.and they were considered as white as anyone. that is why we simply stood aside as they overran the areas they did.it was gov policy.and it was fully supported by the us in pre-war years.
