Why was the war production board important to the war effort

The War Production Board made sure the armed forces and war industries received the necessary sources to win the war.

The War Production Board was an agency of the United States government thet supervised  war production in the World War II.

The WPB decided which companies would convert from peacetime to wartime production and allocated war materials to key industries.

The Board also organized national campaigns to collect scrap irons, tin cans, paper, rags and cooking fat for recycling into war goods.

The Board supervised the production of weapons and supplies.

Because of all the above, the military aircraft production increased and more  parachutes, tanks and arms were produces. Without this increased production the Allies could not have won the war.

the group i'm selecting: greeks.

a first group of greek immigrants came to the us in the 1850s. the second group came to america starting in the 1890s due to economic opportunities they didn't have back in their home caused by the hardships of ottoman rule. greek immigration was 90% male, many of them expected to work and return to greece after earning enough capital, but ultimately had to remain in the us after the greek genocide.
