World War II is significant for several reasons. Women entered the workforce yet again; African Americans saw some gains in employment rights guaranteed by the federal government; people of Japanese ancestry, American citizens and their parents and grandparents, were sent to prison camps inside the United States - without due process of law - based solely on their ethnicity; the dropping of nuclear warheads on Japanese cities opened the "Atomic Age" and exacerbated the Cold War's climate of fear.
