Ecomomic and Social Statistics of World War II in Southeast AsiaThis project draws on archival material and uses economic theory and an historical, strongly comparative, approach to analyse the consequences of the Second World War Japanese occupation for the economies and welfare of the peoples of Southeast Asia. The region's six countries of Burma, Malaya (including Singapore), Thailand (Siam), Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos) and the Philippines had markedly contrasting wartime experiences. One main aim of the project is to quantify wherever possible the differing impacts of Japan's occupation. Second, the project aims to link the pre- and post-1945 economic histories of Southeast Asia and contribute to an understanding of each in light of the events of the Second World War. Specific topics for investigation include the impact on Southeast Asia of Japanese command and planned economic systems, the effectiveness of these policies in achieving resource extraction, trends in Southeast Asian production and GDP, and inflation and hyperinflation resulting from Japan's methods of financing war in Southeast Asia. The project examines for each Southeast Asian country the social costs of wartime economic collapse and traces a chronology of mass death from famine and forced labour in many parts of Southeast Asia. An important contribution of the project is to direct attention towards the populations of non-combatant countries which, although not militarily involved in war, were profoundly affected by it.

The CenSoc WWII Army Enlistment Dataset is a cleaned and harmonized version of the National Archives and Records Administration’s Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File, ca. 1938 - 1946 (2002). It contains enlistment records for over 9 million men and women who served in the United States Army, including the Army Air Corps, Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, and Enlisted Reserve Corps. We publish links between men in the CenSoc WWII Army Enlistment Dataset, Social Security Administration mortality data, and the 1940 Census. The CenSoc Enlistment-Census-1940 file links these enlistment records to the complete 1940 Census, and may be merged with IPUMS-USA census data using the HISTID identifier variable. The CenSoc Enlistment-Numident file links enlistment records to the Berkley Unified Numident Mortality Database (BUNMD), and the CenSoc Enlistment-DMF file links enlistment records to the Social Security Death Master File. For enlistment records in the Enlistment-Numident and Enlistment-DMF datasets that have been independently and additionally linked to the 1940 Census, we include the HISTID identifier variable that can be used to merge the data with IPUMS census data.

The Amsterdam City Archives created this file to make clear where and when bombs fell on Amsterdam in the period 1940-1945. On the map are not only bombs thrown off by airplanes, but also crashed aircraft, crashed anti-aircraft grenades, dropped empty petrol tanks etc.The information at the strikes comes from the reports of the air protection service, the daily reports of the police and fire brigade archives.The list certainly does not pretend to be complete. Of the thousands of bombs that have fallen on and around Amsterdam, it is not always possible to find where exactly they ended up. Because of the concise reporting, it is often impossible to trace how many bombs have occurred in a particular incident.The police day reports do offer the public a nice source to continue investigating what took place in their neighbourhood during the period of World War II.

Slavko Komar was born in Gospić, Croatia in 1918. He went to school in Zagreb, where he got a law degree. In 1937 he became a member of Young Communist League of Yugoslavia. He participated in many political actions during World War II. Because of his activities he was forced to go underground. On august 4th 1941 he led one of the biggest actions against the Ustashe regime in Zagreb, known as ""Botanical Garden"". He and his group attacked an Ustashe patrol in Runjanin Street. Because of constant surveillance he left Zagreb and joined the National Liberation Army. In 1944 he was elected as one of the members of National Anti-Fascist Council of the People's Liberation of Croatia (ZAVNOH). During and after the war he held a number of high positions. He was in charge of leading the agrarian reform in the aftermath of World War II. This part of his activities he considers to be his biggest achievement in building socialism. He was decorated with the Order of the People's Hero of Yugoslavia in 1952. He died in Zagreb in 2012.

NB This datasets has restricted access due to GDPR considerations. Anna visited Swansea University, Wales, a recently built institution. Photos of the visit were taken by a friend, not by her. The experience was unusual for them coming from a small city in Italy. They were intrigued by modern dances like the Twist, which she hadn't seen before. They were surprised also by boys with long hair. While they were familiar with the Beatles, Italy had not yet seen young people organizing themselves into musical groups like we observed during our visit. In Italy, this type of musical band trend emerged later, perhaps a year or two after our visit to Swansea. In 1966, there was a second exchange involving the Italian group. The Welsh family she stayed with owned a grocery shop. The living quarters were located on the first floor above the shop, situated on the street. During her third exchange in Esslingen, they were taken to Stuttgart airport were they visited an airplane to explore its interior. This was Anna’s first time being inside an airplane, and everything about it was new and exciting for her. For Anna, art and cultural experiences were more important than discussions about economy and work. However, the most important aspect of these exchanges wasn't the places they visited or the activities we did—it was the opportunity to be together with boys and girls from different nationalities. Building connections and sharing experiences with peers from diverse cultures, speaking different languages, was the most enjoyable and valuable part of the exchange for Anna. 50 years have passed, a long time, according to Anna. She has forgotten many facts but remembers feelings. Remembers the feeling of great fun. Anna remembers how surprised she was about many things different from what she had seen till that moment.
