前便に間違いや不要な(下書)部分が混入していました。すみません。 訂正して、再送いたします。 > The American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods such as appliances and automobiles at the end of World War II. ⇒第二次世界大戦の後というのが1つの主題でもありますのでそれを文頭に立てて、as以下を文末に置くと形もよくなると思います。なお、あえてどこかを削るとするなら、省略できそうな部分はand automobilesくらいです。 → At the end of World War II, the American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods such as appliances (and automobiles). > To help create jobs for the soldiers returned from the war and build on the country's newfound economic prosperity, the government began a campaign. ⇒ 「キャンペーンを開始した」で文が切れると「尻切れトンボ」のような感じが残ります。to helpの前にbegan a campaignを置けば、「手助けするためのキャンペーン(を開始した)」と解釈できる構文になります。 → The government, build on the country's newfound economic prosperity, began a campaign to help create jobs for the soldiers returned from the war. > U.S. politicians argued that more possessions would create greater social equality, thereby proving the superiority of the market system. ⇒ なるほど、縮めるために最大限削除できるのはwidespread ownership ofくらいですね。やや無理をすればsocialも省くことができなくはありませんが、どうするかはお任せします。 → U.S. politicians argued that more possessions would create greater (social) equality, thereby proving the superiority of the market system. > Consumerism acted as a function of the drive to defeat communism. ⇒ thereforeでなくてもいいですが、「前文とのつなぎ」が欲しいですね。例えば、thusです。 → Thus, consumerism acted as a function of the drive to defeat communism.

    The lavender scareについての文です。 The lavender scare refers to a witch hunt and the mass firings of gay people in the 1950s from the United States government. It paralleled the anti-communist campaign known as McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare. Gay men and lesbians were said to be security risks and communist sympathizers, which led to the call to remove them from state employment. The Lavender Scare was fueled by postwar fears that the U.S. was in a state of moral decline, dominated by a new class of powerful government bureaucrats, and threatened by communism. ⇨The lavender scare refers to a witch hunt and the gay people.

    For middle‐class Americans, the 1950s were a time of prosperity. Americans had more discretionary income, and they spent it on cars, homes, television sets, and an array of other household appliances. Throughout the country, while many Americans enjoyed the fruits of an “affluent society,” poverty was more widespread than most believed, and the struggle for civil rights by minorities, particularly African‐Americans, became a national concern. ⇨For middle‐class Americans, the 1950s were a time of prosperity.

    ・This Policy of Containment stated that the US would try to stop the spread of Communism by creating strategic alliances or support to help weak countries to resist Soviet advances. ・The purpose of the Containment policy was to restrict the spread of communism abroad by diplomatic, military and economic actions. こちらの文って、ほぼ言っていることが一緒だと思うのですが、どうでしょうか? 上に文を省いて George F. Kennan, formulated the policy of “containment,” the basic United States strategy for fighting the cold war with the Soviet Union. The purpose of the Containment policy was to restrict the spread of communism abroad by diplomatic, military and economic actions. Containment in the more general sense of blocking the expansion of Soviet influence remained the basic strategy of the United States throughout the cold war. このように繋げようと思うのですが、何かおかしなところがあれば教えて欲しいです。 よろしくお願いします。

    The settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of the above most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain and add the suggestion that he should, on his own initiative, invite Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate between Japan and ourselves. Please call the President's attention to the fact that the ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace." Signed, ZIMMERMANNThe Zimmermann Telegram was part of an effort carried out by the Germans to postpone the transportation of supplies and other war materials from the United States to the Allies of World War I that were at war with Germany.

    On 7 October, Rupprecht anticipated a British attack north of the Ancre river in mid-October, anxiety about the situation at Verdun also increased and on 19 October, the dispatch of reinforcements from Verdun to the Somme was suspended. Defeats inflicted by the French Tenth Army (10–21 October) led to the sacking of the 2nd Army Chief of Staff, Bronsart von Schellendorf. Hindenburg and Ludendorff demanded domestic changes to complement their strategy changes. German workers were to be subjected to an Auxiliary Service Law (Hilfsdienstgesetz) that subjected all Germans from 16–50 years old to compulsory service, from November 1916. The new programme was intended to create a trebling of artillery and machine-gun output and a doubling of munitions and trench mortar production. Expansion of the army and output of war materials caused increased competition for manpower between the army and industry.
