4. Manufacturers made weapons and vehicles for war, and were overthrown and controlled by the government.

5. The Office of Scientific Research and Development helped scientists to create new things that would be helpful to the US in war.

6. The Entertainment Industry played a huge role in creating propaganda, as businesses like Disney would make films with large quantities of propaganda.

8. The War Production Board rationed fuel and materials vital to the war effort, such as gasoline, heating oil, metals, rubber, and plastics.
