How did Michigan get its nickname Arsenal of Democracy?

Answer:
Michigan earned this nickname during World War 2. The auto industry was in the right position to convert into a war time production model. Auto plants began producing aircraft and tanks as well as jeeps and trucks, churning out thousands quickly and efficiently.
