The CCC allowed for young men to be employed and motivated them to get jobs later on as well. This lowered the unemployment rate and boosted the economy.
Both Hitler and the Japanese wanted to show their world dominance by executing these attacks. They also wanted to essentially expand their empires.
Hoovervilles are a clear example of non governmental intervention in society even in times of need and even to those who need it most
, while the Social Security Act does just that.
Over-speculation led to the Stock Market Crash which led to the Great Depression and the widespread bank failure that was a major part of it. The Glass-Steagall Act aimed to prevent future bank failure.
As a result of the crops being killed by the huge amounts of dust, farmers were forced to stop their jobs, and move out to other places in the country to search for work.
The Social Security Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act both improved the quality of life of the people. The Fair Labor Standards Act insured that the employees were being treated justly and the other did the same for those that are dependent.
With both the KKK and the food riots, the people involved in both were unhappy with the current state of the U.S.
In both attacks, the Japanese were using brutal force to take over China.
Both of these protected workers and ensured that workers were not performing dangerous tasks and being treated unfairly. They should receive fair pay for fair tasks.
Both the Neutrality Acts and the Emergency Quota Act shows an attitude of isolationism and the desire to remain independent, and not be impacted or affected by any foreign people or issues.
The U.S was scared in both scenarios. They were afraid of communism and afraid of letting the war progress for two long. In both scenarios America acted drastically as a result of fear.
The 19th Amendment deals with the expansion of rights for women, specifically regarding freedom for voting. Sigmund Freud's work dealt with sexual liberation of women at the time. Both dealt with an expansion of rights and societal views of women.
Both the act and the resurgence of the KKK promote nativist ideas. Both did not support the change of people of different races acquiring rights in the U.S., either immigrants or blacks.
FDR is finally driven to declare war due to the actions of Pearl Harbor. In fact, he is so effected by this event that he does not even mention Germany in his declaration of war.
Both the KKK and the Japanese in Nanking used brutal force and violence to send their message to their enemies or targets.
Both the KKK and the Russians coming into the U.S. wanted to assert their power to expand their views throughout the country.
The Japanese invasion of China was a clear violation of an unspoken pact and since the pact was not enforceable, there was not much anyone could do about it. Japan had no intention of staying within its borders. Similarly, the Briand Pact was simply not effective.
