Rate This Answer

World War II People on the home front built weapons, produced food and supplies, and bought war bonds. Many historians believe that war production was the key to Allied victory. The "Great War" taught people to protect secrets, plant victory gardens, and to keep vigilant. Industry had become America's greatest asset; work itself was a civic duty and a form of national defense.
