Kansas and the Home Front

From "the day that will live in infamy" until victory in 1945, all Americans were profoundly affected by World War II. More than 200,000 young men and women from Kansas enlisted in the armed forces. Kansans who remained at home also helped the war efforts.

World War II brought about many changes in America, including the breaking down of resistance for women in the work place. The War ended the Great Depression by stimulating the economy, spurring technological advances in industry and agriculture, and mobilizing the entire country.

This exhibit seeks to tell the story of Kansas on the home front during World War II and following. It was produced by Emporia State University with funding provided by the Kansas Humanities Council.
