Answer 1

the native Americans played a very crucial role in World War II since its beginning to its end. Many native Americans joined the army in the war as voluntary work. They showed their loyalty by fighting for the White men. In fact, native American women too gave their full support by participating in the nursing and serving the people of the war. The native Americans gave their full support with their coding skills. The Navajo code was used widely in the war to send messages to others. They helped in creating as well as coding them. They helped in decoding the messages and tell to the Germans. They were also excellent in the hand to hand combat, shooting skills and the power of endurance. They volunteered in many aspects and helped the Germans fight against the Japanese.
The natives were of the thought that by giving their full participation in the war would give them some recognition in the society. They thought that their loyalty would bring freedom for them and for their country as well.
