1) During World War II, the way people thought about what women could do and how they should be treated changed a lot. Women’s lives changed a lot in World War II. To fill the jobs left by men who went to war, lots of women started working. Women started working in jobs that only men were allowed to do before. This made a big change in how people saw men and women’s roles. Women were also in the military, but not fighting in battles.

War made things worse for women because many of them were sexually assaulted. But, the war also freed women. It allowed women in America to have big opportunities for jobs they had never had before.

2) There are many reasons why World War II happened, and they are difficult to explain simply. The Treaty of Versailles made Germany pay a lot of money for the damage caused in World War I. This made Germans angry and upset. The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany was a big reason why the war happened. World War II began in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland because he was being very aggressive towards other countries. World War II had many big impacts. Many people died because of the war and Asia and Europe were destroyed. This also started a time of tension and conflict called the Cold War. It made the Soviet Union and the United States very powerful countries.
