World War II home front
During World War II, the home front refers to the civilian efforts supporting the war effort. In countries like the U.S. and Britain, civilians worked in factories producing weapons, planes, and supplies, while conserving resources through rationing. Women took on new roles in factories and offices, symbolized by " Rosie the Riveter." Communities also participated in war bonds and volunteer organizations. The home front was essential in sustaining military campaigns, boosting morale, and demonstrating national unity and resilience amid wartime challenges.
