When the united states entered world war ii it faced the huge task of preparing for war. consumer goods were in short supply and ration coupons were issued to limit purchases of these goods. explain the period during world war ii in terms of a production possibilities model?

The production possibilities model represents the opportunity cost faced in production activities in terms of resources dedicated. Two different goods are put in relation by a curve that informs, according to the resources available, how much quantity of good B has to be discarded in order to produce a certain amount of good A.

When the US entered WWII had to decide on whether to dedicate the limited productive factors (land, labor and capital) and raw materials to produce weapons or other types of consumer goods. This is known as the Guns-and-Butter Curve.

When the US joined WWII, weapon manufacturing was necessary to prepare the army adequately, hence this brought scarcity of other goods and rationing became necessary.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)

we have pictures for proff

they also have books
