The reason why these dictators were so successful in rising to power is because they
promised good thing to happen to their country under their rule by connecting to the people
and gaining their trust. Most places with dictators don't have a good economic status and
the people are desperate for anything to help them get money and help their families. For
example, Adolf Hitler was successful because he promised to make Germany better and help
the families get out of poverty.
2. On D-Day, many Americans soldiers were killed. The battle was worth it because this event lead to the victory of Europe, and allowed us to free France.

4. Roosevelt's speech was so important to the American people because Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated as the 32nd U.S. President during the worst crisis America had faced since the Civil War. By early 1933, the U.S. economy had sunk to its lowest point in the period known as the Great Depression. Over 13 million Americans were unemployed while wages had declined 60 percent in value. Business losses were reported at $6 Billion with industry operating at half its pre-depression capacity. People lost their life's savings, their homes and farms. Some began to lose faith in the American system of democracy itself. Roosevelt had campaigned for the presidency promising a new deal for the American people. In this speech, President Roosevelt first tries to calm the fear gripping Americans, then outlines some of the "lines of attack" to be immediately taken in the days and weeks ahead.
5. reason World War II was the turning point for women in the workforce because with the demand of military products like soldiers uniforms, fighter planes, and ammunition, and millions of men off fighting in the war in Europe and South Pacific, the Depression-era problem of high employment turned into the wartime issue of labor shortages. This is where the women stepped in due to they were desperate for workers. Encouraged by the government to do their patriotic duty, and in many cases compelled by economic need and the desire for independence, women joined the workforce in record numbers. Several million women obtained industrial jobs that had traditionally been held by men, working in factories, in steel and lumber mills, on railroads, and in shipyards. Millions of women also worked during the war as volunteers, donating their time to the Red Cross and other organizations. Thousands of American women supported the war effort by volunteering to serve with the armed forces, both at home and overseas. Many enlisted in the armed forces as nurses, and a number of women signed up to be part of organizations for women. These women held a wide variety of jobs previously filled by men, thereby freeing up those men for combat positions so that the war could end sooner. Some of these women worked in jobs typically thought of as women's tasks, including typing and filing. But many others worked as radio operators or technicians fixing military equipment.
