Question

what lifestyle changes were required by ordinary americans or teenagers during world war 2? please help me to find info about this topic for my short research report.

Answer 1

The big change was women working outside the home. Families had to adjust to this.

Rationing (food, tires, gasoline, etc) was also a big change for families. In some cities, blackouts occurred regularily and that affected family life.


In Europe, the changes were more drastic. Here is a description of London during the war: http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/nettsch/time/wlife.html
