1. Briefly tell the story of the Navajo Code Talkers. In what way did they contribute to the success of America in WWII and how did they do it? 3-5 sentences: (4 pts)
The Navajo Code Talkers were a group of Native American soldiers from the Navajo tribe who played a crucial role in the success of the United States during World War II. They were recruited by the Marine Corps and used their native language, which was complex and unwritten, to create an unbreakable code. The code they created was used to transmit sensitive military messages, and due to its complexity and the fact that it was spoken and not written, it remained undecipherable to enemy forces. This allowed the American troops to communicate effectively and securely, ultimately contributing to their success in several critical battles.
