C)Legislation that sought to avoid entanglement in foreign wars while protecting trade.It imposed an embargo on selling arms to warring countries and declared that Americans traveling on the ships of belligerent nations did so at their own risk.
D)A naval base in Hawaii that was attacked by Japanese bombers on December 7,1941;more than 2,400 Americans were killed.The following day,President Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan.
E)Oversized clothing in fashion in the 1940s,particularly among young male African Americans and Mexican Americans.In June 1943,a group of white sailors and soldiers in Los Angeles,seeking revenge for an earlier skirmish with Mexican American youths,attacked anyone they found wearing this type of clothing,causing riots.
F)A committee organized by isolationists in 1940 to oppose the entrance of the United States into World War II.The membership of the committee included senators,journalists,publishers,and well-respected figures such as the aviator Charles Lindbergh.

J)Native American soldiers trained to use Native languages to send messages in battle during World War II.Neither the Japanese nor the Germans could decipher the codes used by these Navajo,Comanche,Choctaw,and Cherokee speakers,and the messages they sent gave the Allies great advantage in the battle of Iwo Jima,among many others.

Answer the following questions :
Revenue Act (1942)
A)Identified by President Franklin D.Roosevelt as the most basic human rights.The president used these ideas to justify support for England during World War II,which in turn pulled the United States into the war.
B)German political party led by Adolf Hitler,who became chancellor of Germany in 1933.Its ascent was fueled by huge World War I reparation payments,economic depression,fear of communism,labor unrest,and rising unemployment.
C)Legislation that sought to avoid entanglement in foreign wars while protecting trade.It imposed an embargo on selling arms to warring countries and declared that Americans traveling on the ships of belligerent nations did so at their own risk.
D)A naval base in Hawaii that was attacked by Japanese bombers on December 7,1941;more than 2,400 Americans were killed.The following day,President Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan.
E)Oversized clothing in fashion in the 1940s,particularly among young male African Americans and Mexican Americans.In June 1943,a group of white sailors and soldiers in Los Angeles,seeking revenge for an earlier skirmish with Mexican American youths,attacked anyone they found wearing this type of clothing,causing riots.
F)A committee organized by isolationists in 1940 to oppose the entrance of the United States into World War II.The membership of the committee included senators,journalists,publishers,and well-respected figures such as the aviator Charles Lindbergh.

I)An authoritarian system of government characterized by dictatorial rule,extreme nationalism,disdain for civil society,and a conviction that imperialism and warfare are principal means by which a nation attains greatness.The United States went to war against this system when it faced Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler and Italy under Benito Mussolini during World War II.
J)Native American soldiers trained to use Native languages to send messages in battle during World War II.Neither the Japanese nor the Germans could decipher the codes used by these Navajo,Comanche,Choctaw,and Cherokee speakers,and the messages they sent gave the Allies great advantage in the battle of Iwo Jima,among many others.
K)An act that expanded the number of people paying income taxes from 3.9 million to 42.6 million.These taxes on personal incomes and business profits paid half the cost of World War II.
