A City at War: Chicago | History Documentary
Watch ‘War Factories: General Motors’ here: https://youtu.be/vrclztGCg6M
At the beginning of America’s involvement in World War II, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) called on the country to become “an arsenal of democracy” – to become producers of war materiel to help defeat the Axis powers – Germany, Japan and Italy.
This documentary reveals how the Chicago area was transformed into a well-oiled production machine, with every man, woman, and child contributing to the war effort. Through personal reminiscences, declassified films, period stills and posters, A CITY AT WAR: CHICAGO explores how a mutually beneficial relationship between FDR and Chicago’s powerful Democratic Mayor Ed Kelly helped to win the war.

Wait a second… Please tell me you're not trying to suggest America is a democracy?
today it sucks
Roosevelt was the obama of his day
It's the past, history, can never happen any more! Because usa is deindustrialized, the democratic party and socialists have totally destroyed usa 😂
The birth of the Military Industrial Complex.
Thanks to Bill Curtis. Grew up watching him on the 10 o'clock news in Chicago. 🙂
Remember everyone Pearl Harbor and we were attacked and we did what we had to do to defeat Germany and defeat Japan and payback time
We’ve become what we hated!

Arsenal of democracy is very fitting title
Alternative could be democrasy of bombing and nuking
This is what we need now. Please, be a patriot. Fight for your beliefs
Wonderful
Democracy should start at home…before exporting.
America will always be the world's biggest cowards. And also, when have the Americans won a war on their own? They lost in Iraq, they lost in Korea, they were obliterated in Vietnam.. They really aren't as strong as they put out there
I guess Chicago didn't age very well since the war. Libtardation at its finest!
