In what way did World War II catalyze change that would eventually lead to formalized affirmative action policy?
World War II had no direct or indirect impact on affirmative action policy.
Affirmative action policies were implemented during World War II to tackle racial segregation in the military.
The war led to an immediate implementation of affirmative action policies post-war due to heightened awareness of racism.
It exposed deep-seated racial inequality in the military and on the homefront, laying groundwork for reform.
