Wartime roles refer to the various responsibilities and contributions made by individuals and groups during times of conflict, particularly in World War II. These roles encompassed military personnel, factory workers, women, and other civilians who played crucial parts in supporting war efforts, whether on the front lines or on the home front. The shifting societal norms and economic necessities during this period redefined traditional gender roles and labor structures, leading to a more dynamic participation of different demographics in wartime activities.
