SummaryResearch on the effects of World War II demonstrates that there few areas of society that were not, in some way, impacted by the event. Although many Americans remained on the home front there were numerous social, political and economic sacrifices that citizens made in order to support American troops abroad. Because the men who served in the armed forces ultimately made the greatest sacrifice, the impact of the World War II on American citizens is often overlooked in historical discourse.With the realization that World War II had such a notable impact on the development of American society there is a clear impetus to explore what has been written about the impact of the war on social discourse. To this end, this investigation considers what occurred in the United States during the Second World War. Through a careful consideration of what has been written about this time period a more integral understanding of how the war impacted citizens of the United States will be elucidated.

- As such, the social and foreign policy changes that occurred in the wake of the Second World War were indeed quite revolutionary.
