Question

what was an effect of having so many men away from home during world war ii? it opened up opportunities for minorities and women. it permanently changed the role of women in the workforce. it eliminated racial discrimination permanently. it changed american family values.

Explanation:

During World War II, with many men away at war, there was a labor shortage. This led to women and minorities taking on jobs that were previously dominated by men. For example, women worked in factories (e.g., Rosie the Riveter). However, after the war, many women were pushed out of these jobs when men returned. But the experience did open up some opportunities in the short - term. Racial discrimination was not eliminated permanently as systemic racism still existed. And while there were changes in family dynamics (with women taking on new roles), it didn't permanently change family values in a wholesale sense. The most accurate short - term effect was the opening of opportunities.

Answer:

It opened up opportunities for minorities and women.
