World War II Part 2 - The Homefront: Crash Course US History #36
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- In which John Green teaches you about World War 2, as it was lived on the home front. You'll learn about how the war changed the country as a whole, and changed how Americans thought about their country. John talks about the government's control of war production, and how the war probably helped to end the Great Depression. Broader implementation of the income tax, the growth of large corporations, and the development of the West Coast as a manufacturing center were also results of the war. The war positively changed the roles of women and African Americans, but it was pretty terrible for the Japanese Americans who were interred in camps. In short, World War II changed America's role in the world, changed American life at home, and eventually spawned the History Channel.
Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. At home in America, everyone joined in the war effort, with everyone contributing to American industry: www.commonlit.org/texts/how-a...
But America had its fair share of shame, such as when the country turned away Jewish refugees on the St. Louis who would die in the Holocaust: www.commonlit.org/texts/jewis...
During World War II, there was also a painful period of Japanese relocation and internment throughout the country: www.commonlit.org/texts/japan...

I learned more in this one video than I did in 12 years of public school.
Everything I know about history comes from the BBC
I learned most (but not all) of what he said in 2 years of GCSE history.
Watched this in school today...
At least they doing something right
The hell were you doing the whole time?
John Green be dripping with the Ralph Lauren Polo 🔥🔥🔥
I'm a german exchange student at an american Highschool and they have no idea of what is going on in the world or what happend in the past, I think your videos are awesome and more people should watch them
I'm an American student at a German school and they have no idea of what is going on in the world or what happened in the past.
REKT
What school?
HA Germans have no right to say anything about what happened during WW2. That's not history that you get to write.
Agreed! I'm a Mexican American and it troubles me so much that Americans don't know anything about the world and they are so ignorant that they don't even care or want to learn because they live in their own little bubble and a state of mind like "America is the best country in the world USA USA USA!!" I admire Europeans for being so culturally knowledgeable and always being well informed. I wish more America was like that
I would like to go back in time and have teenager John Green be my waiter at steak and shake.
The day of reckoning has arrived, my fellow APUSH students. Good luck on the exam.
lmao glad to know I'm not the only one studying an hour before the test
For those studying for the AP exam, congrats, you reached the end of what you need to know for this year! Unless you wanna watch more to possibly get contextualization, in which case good luck!
We need to clone +John Green and use him to replace all high school football coach history teachers. Then, we need to pay the clones (and all other teachers) 100 percent higher wages for the extremely important work they do.
+THE BATeman YASSSSSSSS
Lmao. So true
Lol
In a Millenium after countless wars, and billions of casaulties, the John Green clones will create a crash course "How the Clones Took Over The World" and look back on this comment, realising this troll post was the pioneering idea that enabled them to take over the natural world and enslave humanity.
DAmn. My high school history teacher was a football coach
I just wanted to take some time to say how much I appreciate these videos. People like you, Hank, and Sal Khan are making this world a better place one video at a time.
8:03. Shots fired. Lol
AlternateHistoryHub 8:03
Hahaha
that period messed it up -facepalm-
oh my god I just realized who this guy is...

World War II Part 2 - The Homefront: Crash Course US History #36
Good show but your next course should be Canadian history
Dude, off topic, but I love the Woody Guthrie quote on your laptop.
Zach Dix Im sorry but i dont want to learn about the history of maple syrup
why everyone are force to accepts Bretton Woods agreement. That sucks. and since when the Dollar is backed by Gold? it only backed by dept. Seriously John Green.
snoiprocs16 H.J. Res. 192, approved by President Roosevelt on June 5, 1933, provided that obligations payable in gold or specific coin or currency are contrary to public policy, and that those obligations could be discharged dollar for dollar in legal tender. After that resolution was adopted, currency of the United States could not be converted into gold by United States citizens, but the Treasury would convert dollars into gold for foreign governments as a means of maintaining stability and confidence in the dollar. Because the dollar was no longer freely convertible, one could consider that the United States was no longer on the gold standard at that time. If, however, one considers the gold standard as a monetary system in which the unit of money is backed by gold even if the monetary unit cannot be converted into gold, one could argue that the United States went off of the gold standard on August 15, 1971 when President Nixon announced that the U.S. dollar would no longer be convertible into gold in the international markets. The President was able to suspend the ability to convert the dollar into gold because there was no legal requirement that the United States exchange gold for dollars. On December 18, 1971 the President devalued the dollar, and even though the devaluation was effective immediately, only Congress could officially change the gold value of the dollar. Early in 1972, Congress passed Public Law 92- 268, which gave formal approval to the December 1971 devaluation.
I get the feeling this is what he was talking about. Try maybe googling it a little bit next time? It's really easy.
I am teacher, and I love Crash Course because it's awesome! However, I teach theatre and very little of Crash Course content has anything to do with theatre or creative arts. Have you all ever thought about creating a Crash Course series for theatre or art history? They would be super helpful for arts teachers.
Most of the crash course series appears to follow AP classes so..... Unless it's AP Art History I don't think it is very likely.
+Destini Fleming My thought on this is that if you see a niche that isn't being filled you are probably the person that needs to fill it.
well there are others eny ways theres no scholl were i am today
commander demicleas Well, judging from your spelling skills, they clearly need more school.
Art is gay
I actually guessed the mystery document! And I'm not even American.
It talked about the United Nations and who talks about the UN more than FDR.
Honestly that makes more sense
United States 🇺🇸
Canadian!
Nikolaas Tzventarny LOL I'm part Dutch and I guessed it XD
Dear John Green,
You're dad really made you declare your tips? Dude, that is totally brutal.
Best wishes,
Amoral Accountant
I could literally watch the crash course videos and probably learn more than I did in high school
Could you please do a video on the Japanese American internment camps? Not a lot of people know about it and how it affected them. As a 4th generation Japanese American whose family went to the camps, I am disappointed that a lot of people are unaware of this event and are now trying to do the same for Muslim Americans(post 9/11).
coolarashifanftw I find it hard to believe that anyone over 18 doesn't know about the camps, but I did talk to a kid at the hospital (I'm a nursing student) about 14 that didn't know what the EU is and considering that who knows.
Yeah, what you said right there is all i know about them
also we just elected a dude who wants to brin that back so yeah, more education
coolarashifanftw ha ur country got nuked
I know about it! It was terrible! America is not a 'Great' as we seem.... and more hatred and discrimination is NOT how to fix it....
Hey all you APUSHers, this is the last one you need to watch! Because of lockdown, they reduced the content on the test!
Less to cram means more sleep! Yay!
Empathetic Apathy this was genuinely helpful thank you so much
Thank you for the help. Now I have to go to sleep soon, to be ready for the APUSH test tomorrow
So, how did you all do?
Well I didn’t get to copy and paste my answer, because I was using a Mac and I didn’t remember how to copy and paste. So, I’m going to try for the retake on June 1-5. But if I did get to do so, I think I would’ve done well.
Empathetic Apathy mah skool year ends on June 5th :p At-Home exams are THE WORST. But they're better than exams in school. 😅
Amazing how things that happen so long ago have such a large impact on how things are today.
If I pass my IB history exam I owe a lot of it to these videos. So thanks, John Green! :)
I’m Japenese，Mexican，and American
that is awesome
you also misspelled Japanese
b3 that's the mexican/American part.
b3 No that's how they spell it in Japan
Then you are one sushi taco wrapped cheeseburger roll
Every time I come back to this video, I'm reminded of how inspiring the ending is. It remains one of my favorite ways of talking about the US. "Ideals pulling policy"
For all those clamoring for more History, not that I'm opposed... if anything quite the opposite (I'm glued to my computer every Thursday/Friday looking for the new CC:US History), but I'd be really happy with some Crash Course: Economics, since that's also an area of expertise for John.
I've tried watching this like three times and I zone out after like eight minutes. :(
+bubblefish011 You need a different way to learn this then. It means you're not interested.
Tuxedo Pig Indeed.

If your doing part 2 first then I have timestamps on part 1 aswell
Hugo Lerner It was for my class, we had a paper to answer questions on this video. So I timestamped all the answers
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I am currently crash course studying for my 2nd final exam in History and this is so helpful! I am doing a presentation on:"The treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII" and I obviously need to be prepared for general questions regarding the 2nd WWII, so thank you!
i just realized this, but one of the things i love most about crash course is the perfect set up and length of the intro.
John Green, I just wanted to say the part 2 brought WWII in better perspective for me from the US standpoint.Your lessons have really helped me to understand and build upon what my us civ book teaches. Thank you!
RIP to the lady that posed as Rosie, she was real and she passed yesterday
Another fantastic episode of Crash Course US History. Thanks, John Green.
I’m a New Hampshirite, thanks for mentioning us!
A ship... Every day. That's mind-blowing.
Actually, this video is only about the domestic side of the war within the USA, which is a pretty narrow topic to begin with, but there still is a lot of information that they have to present in 14 minutes. It's hard work cutting everything down while still having some sort of themes to stick to in order to keep people's interest. Pretty hard work!
But yeah... why bother with learning? We need to focus on whether things have been MENTIONED or not!!!
This is probably my favorite channel on here (plus crash course bio with Hank), been watching for years. Great video. Shoutout to my man D. SMITHEE and the HUSH squad!!
he always ends the show so thought provokingly.
Immensely helpful to learn about this war with a home-front perspective, especially from an economic and policy aspect.
The first few decades after WW2 were the window of opportunity to establish a socialized healthcare system in the United States, just as it was for every other First World country (all of which did so). After that, the rapid expansion in medical services in turn led to the insurance lobby becoming too powerful, and FDR's ambitions were tragically never realized.
Where in the Constitutions can the Federal Government force the States to participate in a national healthcare system?
Who else watches CrashCourse for fun?
Yes studying IS fun XD
Me xd
I watch it because there's a mad man with a chainsaw forcing me to. Send help please
I do whenever eating a meal.
I just wann see what american tells about ww2
This is my favorite episode of Crash Course. Well done, John.
I think finding these videos has actually saved my life... I have an exam on some of this stuff in 2 days and knew literally none of it! Now I can take notes from this and relax :)
Thanks John and all the Crash Course team for the World and US History Series. They were amazing! Please keep doing more series!! A Terror History Series (not only US but worldwhile, religious and/or political motivated) would be an opportune one. I know it will be very controversal but also very opportune to our times. People seems to be very confused about it. A World History of Arts Series will be also great (maybe not that popular, but I would love it!).
Thank you for talking about the Japanese interment camps! A lot of people don't know anything about that and it's nice that that subject got attention in your video.
Anyone else feel that this was as much as we learned in high school? Every year we would get through WW2 and then the class was over.
This is great for future teachers
10:43 - Redtail Mustang... nice touch, Thought Bubble!
plane geeks ftw
"The White House has 32 bathrooms."
Is that some sort of subtle message that the White House is, uh...heheh...
Full of shit?
I think Capitol Hill beats the White House at that any day of the week.
That's a crappy joke ;D
Chibi Prussia C'mon, get that @#$% out of here.
aismartie14 Aw poop
What a beautiful episode. Well done, this is probably my favourite of all your shows.
I'm learning about ww2 at the moment and you've really helped me! Thank You!
Can someone explain to me why "Korematsu v. United States" is always mentioned but never "Ex parte Endo", considering how it was in the "Endo" decision that the government stated that a citizen could not be illegally detained if there was no evidence found to provide suspicion of a lack of loyalty?
"You've changed, me from the past, and not in a good way"
... Uhhh... I think that's more of and insult to your present self
There was a Rosie the Riveter- my AP US History teacher's mother worked as a riveter during the war and her name was Rosie.
online learning has been a pain, but he does a great job at explaining everything!
big pain, no good.
We can't hear the rest of the world's desires over all that FREEDOM we're gonna give em. #Murica
Murica will bomb freedom into them!
You are why America looks bad cut the MURICA shit out it is fucjing stupid
Master Chef Americans look stupid making Americans who make America look stupid look stupid.
The funny part is I'm Canadian that was memeing really hard. #trololol
+sobo2001 One of the funniest comments I have ever read.
Maybe "Improving" the names of historical events would add further biases into the interpretation of historical events.
Super excited for next week! The Cold War and the Race to the Moon are two of my favorite historical events!
I want another literary CrashCourse!
11:52 New Hampshire, "Yeah It's our time to shine!"
I ran over a turtle in North Conway one time. Thought you should know that
Can confirm, I was the turtle
I just want you to know that God loves you.
I really like this series particularly because John tries to take a balance approach giving both sides admitting both what have done wrong also what we have done right. But more importantly i feel he just explained what america and our history is really about its not about how perfect or amazing we are as we have seen we dont have the best record but the ideals we have developed and what it represents to the US and the world and how we are continually striving for this ideals we have.
I would like to wish a big happy birthday to my history teacher. Have a good one.
Who's your history teacher?
"You've changed, me from the past!" -John Green (and everyone else as well)
With this video I conclude my journey from period 1 all the way to the end of period 7 in preparation for the 2020 Apush test... one day in advance...
X3LAB0MB3RZ the test is only period 3 to period 7. Congrats on the two extra units of study
I'm watching this like an hour before the exam lol
John Green is amazing
For those wondering about the effects of WWII that you can see today, I'm a CA kid in a military family. The state is still a powerhouse for military research and manufacturing. The largest naval yards, drydocks, training centers, R&D labs, bases, and classified hangars are out here.
WHAT? Bite thine tongue, John Green!!!! I love Zoot Suit Riot! .........The song, not the actual event.
I honestly need a teacher exchange
We always watch you in history class and let me just say you're like my savior my teacher is a joke but as for you, you explain thing amazingly and make me LOVE history!
This video just got me an A +!!Thanks John Green!!
How about an episode on The Winter War, Finland vs USSR?
Not a big enough topic.
DeathdwarfRising I dunno. It could be an interesting topic of discussion for one the Crash Course World History 2 episodes. They tend to have a narrower focus.
Charles Larue Well, it would not be a Crash Course. You can say everything there is to say about the Winter War in 10 to 15 minutes.
DeathdwarfRising Which is, conveniently, the length of a Crash Course episode!
*mic drop*
*shrug* Whatever you say, bub.
It's a moot point anyway; the Winter War doesn't really have all that delicious trade and cultural exchange that gets Crash Course excited, and it was really one front of a much larger conflict anyway. More likely it would be a case study or an example than an episode of it's own.
In any case, I feel that that language was entirely uncalled for, sir.
This episode isn't on the US history playlist!
Thanks for the different prospective. Your doing good work Mr. Green thank you
Thank you for the great lecture. Love this video!
Do you guys use "Give Me Liberty" by Eric Foner? Because some of the sentences you say are almost exactly as some lines in that book
I wouldn't be surprised, they definitely have a Foner Boner. He is mentioned regularly and his ideas are the basis of many episodes.
Please make a WW3 vid A.S.A.P, thank you in advance. I really need it for my test.
*facepalm*
I'm guessing America would win
we were all nuked the end
Why would you want that! We would all be dead. Lol
We need it now, cause we won't be around to watch it after WW3 otherwise.
hey mr. smith i forgot to submit my work on friday but thats only because i was so busy staying up all night watching crash course
I love your vids, they just make my life so much easier!
Steak n' Shake is delicious
Yes
Turn on the captions and see the extra line at 14:13.
Lol "Boom uh oh" lol
levittown! my heart is always with you.
You're awesome John! Do more talk about ww2
"Deep inner meaning... of mostly girls." I see what you did there
APUSH test is this friday...only 12 more episodes to go :) #PROcrastination #LiteralCrashCourse
+Erin Valenzuela We'll get through this together T.T
AP Calc BC looms ahead like a dark spectre...
It’s insane to see this comment from 3 years ago while I’m taking this class
Oh crash course you tell me everything I need to know for an assessment in the fast way... thank you so much :D
Hey, this had maybe been pointed out already, but I think you've maybe forgotten to add this one to the US History playlist - mine just went from WW2 pt1 straight to the Cold War.
Cheers for all the great videos, much appreciated! :-)
In this video, they don't talk about it because it's a US history "course." I definitely wouldn't call anyone from a small(er) country stuck between badass evil superpowers pussies, though. That's a pretty damn hard situation to face by either a government or an individual.
I'm not seeing an episode on the Great Depression... and I don't mean when George W. Bush was elected President. It would be valuable to see what didn't and what did end that bleak period.
It's Crash Course US History #33, and I think it's a pretty good one!
thanks for teaching us about world war II!
John's last words at 13:40 made think of INCEPTION!
*But, you've changed, Me from the Past, and not in a good way*
Was that supposed to be an insult to "Me from the Past" or present John?
is that a real shock pen?
+Dixie Turner yep
Shout to David Smith and TSM Aidan Lopez
I was surprised to learn how many changes Word War II brought about, extremely interesting.
Man, you know you have a terrible sense of humor when you burst out laughing at a war painting because the soldiers are Mexican.
do you notice that he said ci instead of hi at the start of the episode
Yes indeed I did. I am an awefully lot worried for him at current momment.
+COOLOD1 are you trying to reach a word limit lol
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for including Korematsu vs. US
Thanks for these videos, they help my daughter with History and Social Studies. Thanks!!!
Who's taking the AP test on May 14th?
Me
Chibi Prussia Good luck studying :D I hope we both get 5s!!
Thandiel3791 :D You to:D Thanks
So, what I got from this is that the US grew exponentially because of government spending? If so, how come there's so much controversy surrounding government spending whenever it's proposed in the US today?
because theres a diffrence between giving jobs and the military spending ludicrous amounts of money on common items and weapons that it is not able to use in a war on terror putting us in an unnecessary ammount of debt
cuz we are 20 TRILLION dollars in debt
R E P U B L I C A N S
I love just hopping in these arguments and screwing up everthing
crashcourse makes quarantine a little better 😎
