  • Allied Relations and Negotiations with Spain A
    Allied Relations and Negotiations With Spain A. From Spanish "Non-Belligerency" to Spanish Neutrality1 Shortly after the outbreak of the War in September 1939, Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco released an official decree of neutrality in the conflict, despite his open ideological affinity with the Axis leaders who had provided him with critical support in the Spanish Civil War. Nevertheless, he hovered on the brink of intervention on the side of the Axis through much of 1940 and 1941, and even contributed a force of Spanish volunteers estimated to be as many as 40,000, known as the Blue Division, which served as the German 250th Division on the Russian Front from mid-1941 until October 1943. The possibility of Spanish belligerency was premised on an early German victory over Britain and on German agreement to Spanish territorial expansion in Africa into French Morocco and perhaps even in Europe at the expense its neighbors, Vichy France and neutral Portugal. The United States and Britain joined in a continuing effort to keep Franco's Spain out of the War by providing essential exports like gasoline and grain to prop up the Spanish economy, which had been in a state of collapse since the end of the Spanish Civil War. The close ideological and political ties between the Franco dictatorship and those of Germany and Italy were never misapprehended by the United States and Britain. After 1941 Spain drifted gradually from imminent belligerency toward a demonstratively pro-Axis neutrality. Spain cooperated with the Allies in humanitarian efforts, allowing safe passage through Spain of downed Allied fliers, escaped Allied prisoners, and civilian refugees, including Jews.2 The nature of Spain's neutrality in World War II turned in significant measure on Allied and Spanish perceptions of the danger of German invasion.

This detail is from a map printed in 1944 at the scale of 1:25,000 and shows one of the key objectives of Operation Market Garden--the bridge at Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Although the bridge was captured on September 20, 1944, the Allied advance on Arnhem was stalled shortly afterwards.

  • World War II: Homefront How Did the World War II Impact Americans at Home?
    TEACHING WITH PRIMARY SOURCES World War II: Homefront How did the World War II impact Americans at home? Unlike more recent conflicts where the U.S. relied on a volunteer army, World War II engaged the efforts of the entire civilian population. All males between the ages of 18 to 35 had to register for the draft. Rationing of food, gasoline, tires and clothing required life style changes. With American soldiers fighting on two fronts around the globe, families and friends anxiously awaited for reports of the war’s progress and casualties. War Effort in Iowa American agriculture supported not only our own troops but the military and civilian populations of our Allies. Food rationing and victory gardens at home made more resources available for Great Britain, Russia and other military partners. Farmers managed to produce more livestock, grains, cotton and other supplies in the face of worker shortages due to the military call-up of farm labor. New farm equipment was in short supply as factories shifted to tanks, jeeps and armaments, but farmers learned to repair and share existing machinery. Women also stepped into farm production and management roles in place of husbands, fathers and sons. In Iowa, the Extension Service at Iowa State provided valuable information to farm families and relayed information from Washington on wartime regulations and best farming practices. Moving into full wartime production required a quick expansion of the labor market in the face of the loss of males heading into service. To fill the gap, the American government and factories made a push to encourage women to take jobs they had never held before.
