"Active Participation in the war effort" definition. (1 Viewer)

I'm arguing with my teacher over the definition of the term "Active participation in the war effort" - I took this term to mean either actually fighting in the war or working in factories/ volunteering back on the homefront. My teacher says it is just anything that contributes to the war, such as following ration rules. This cost me a mark in my half-yearly and subsequently have lost my 1st place ranking so that is why I am arguing about it. Does anyone have a proper definition for the term? and do you think it is worth pursuing higher? (as in approaching my head teacher).

As a mod hist teacher I would regard contributing to the war effort as anything that you support or obey as a result of war being declared that may not continue after war finishes . On field action, factory working , obeying curfew rules, accepting rationing and contributing to rules made as a result of war . Anything that that war means as far as a change in lifestyle at home or away is the war effort
