Ever heard of it? It actually wasn’t a real war, it was just the war effort back home to make it through World War II and supply the soldiers over-seas with necessary items for survival. There is a home-front war during every war, but today I’m only going to talk about the one during WWII.
Factories:
During WWII, or any war, more firearms, ammunition, airplanes, etc. have to be made. That means that more people had to be employed to make that happen. During WWI, women started working in the factories. When WWII came around, all of the new jobs in factories and businesses pulled the U.S. out of the great depression and dramatically helped the economy.
Victory Gardens and Rations:
Another part of the home-front war was the idea of going with out something so that the 
soldiers over-seas could have it. Something called “Victory Gardens” came from this idea. Certain things like sugar, coffee, and flour were rationed out. That meant you were only allowed to buy a certain amount of each item so that there was enough to send over-seas to the soldiers. Victory Gardens helped the people have enough food to eat without having to take as much of the rationed foods.
Women in the War:
In the time of WWII, most women didn’t join the war to be soldiers, but many did for non-combatant jobs such as nurses, clerks, etc. Some women joined the U.S. Armed Forces and served in special women’s divisions. (Read more here ) Women were also needed for every day jobs such as teaching, cleaning, raising their family, and working in stores.
Men in the War
Men served in the war in many different ways. You could join the Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard if you wanted to go into a combatant position. There were lots of jobs back home that helped too. Men worked in factories making munitions (ammo, guns, military equipment, etc), but they also did normal jobs like fixing cars and working at the local butcher shop.
Here is a song that was very popular during WWII:
During a war, there are many jobs that are un-glamorous, but they need done. Nobody wanted to stand in a line and put bombs and guns together all day, but we couldn’t have fought the enemy without the people that did it. Everyone was needed, and everyone pitched in to help the war effort.
