FDR moved the Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Pearl to intimidate the Japanese. All it did was to move the Pacific Fleet into a place that the Japanese could just barely reach. It still took nearly every modern tanker that Japan had to carry enough fuel to get the KidobButai into range of Pearl and back to Japan.
I think you mean "land-based aircraft" not "carriers" ???
USSR had much of it's industrial capacity displaced East after the German's invaded. That invasion was upon the majority of USSR agricultural turf=food production area, disrupting food supply significantly to that nation. Workers in the armaments factories found themselves going to the front lines to fight the Nazi-Germans.
The Soviet factory workers were mostly women and children after the factories were moved. Yes, production dropped, for a couple of months, but the factories were producing before the walls and roofs were up. Lend-Lease was important, but not in 1941. British supplies were far more important that year. The worst the Soviets were facing was stalemate because the Germans couldn’t support their army much past Moscow.
Correct. The US mobilized the Soviet Army by giving them 600,000 trucks, thousands of aircraft, hundreds of tanks and millions of tons of food and ammunition.
USA internment camps were a 'Club Med' compared to those of the Nazi where the inmates not worked to death in factories were gassed and cremated.
Hindsight sees "advantages" which at the time seemed more a 'might work out'. Even though their plan and equipment was better used, it is that the French and British had inept command and control that really helped the Blitzkrieg work better than expected.
Most of the food production area of Russia was under German occupation, so if they held that a year or two, then Russia would have starved greatly. Which is where USA grain and other food shipments were a key life saver for the Soviets.
The food especially made the difference since the Russia 'breadbasket' crop growing heartland was contested battlegrounds for four years. Russia got very little harvest out of it's major food production turf.
Thousands still died, and the majority lost their land and possessions.
The British had started the concept of an aircraft carrier before anyone else and they were expecting them to have more value in the next war (World War Two).
That's why I said "compared to".
No matter what the cost or difficulties were Germany had to finish the war in the West before turning East
"Concentration camps"
Ah, the old "let's throw you into a concentration camp for your own good!" nonsense. Just ******* stupid.
Nonetheless, it was clearly illegal to put ADULT American citizens of Japanese descent into those camps. Adult Japanese citizens and even their American citizen children were another matter. Children because they were dependent on the adults and the adults because under international law it was not only common, but legal to intern enemy aliens during wartime until they could be repatriated. The problem was that the Japanese refused to participate in repatriation in either direction keeping allied civilians in unspeakable conditions and often forcing the women into sexual slavery (I won't call it prostitution because the women weren't compensated in any way and were brutalized as well.
1,862 died out of a total of 120,00 internees. The death rate for industrial workers was far higher at the time. Only 7 were killed by guards. Remember, this was pre-antibiotics, people died from simple infections and pneumonia.
Aircraft carriers were never able to cover the entire oceans. At best they could cover a bubble of about a hundred miles in every direction from the carrier. That's why most CVEs were attached to convoys, the convoys acted as bait to attract the U-Boats. Only a handful were detached by the USN for hunter-killer groups which concentrated on the milch-cow resupply U-Boats anyway.
