How did Arizona help the war effort during World War 2?

Answer 1

Besides contributing many fighting men and women to the armed forces of our nation, Arizona also produced products necessary to the war effort. The "three c's" of the Arizona economy helped the war effort in Europe and the Pacific--Cattle, Cotton, and Copper. Many military bases were established in Arizona because of the sunny climate. The lack of rainy days provided the military with the opportunity to train pilots for the war. Luke Airforce Base, Williams Airforce Base, and Davis-Monthan Airforce Base are just three examples. Arizona is also part of the Navajo Indian Reservation. Many Native Americans served in the armed forces and many helped in creating a code for the government that the enemy were never able to crack. These Arizonans became known as the Code Talkers. The idea to use Navajo for secure communications came from Philip Johnston, the son of a missionary to the Navajos and one of the few non-Navajos who spoke their language fluently.

Answer 2

during WW2 the united states used a code based on the Apache language (Apache are from Arizona)
