No, the Great Depression was from the Stock Market crash of 1929 to 1933. Many believe that FDR's New Deal programs ended the Depression. Some of the programs helped of course, but so did Hoover's and he gets blamed for the whole thing. WWII is what finally ended the depression. It stimulated the economy by forcing the government to pay companies to manufacture war goods and forced people to cut personal costs in order to send supplies to the troops.

∙ 11y agoThe stock market crashed on October 29, 1929 (I believe) because there was a surplus of products and no one to buy them. WWII began on September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, and the U.S.A. did not get involved until December 8, 1941 after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. So, the Great Depression started before World War II.

Why did inflation set in during 1946?

How did World War II affect the American economy?
During WW 2 the efforts of production were concentrated mainly on goods that would directly benefit the military. These include of weapons, clothes, and other miscellaneous goods used in the war. Increasing the production of these types of goods lowers the overall production of consumer goods such as foods, clothes, cars, etc. This can be represented in something called the Production Possibilities Curve. This is a graph that depicts the amount of production of both military and consumer goods and how both are inversely related; meaning that if military production goes up then consumer production goes down and vise versa. This leads us into the rationing the US had to go through in order for this to happen. Many had to do without things they would normally have bought such as underwear and tires. Now because of the increased demand for people to work in these factories, jobs were created and more money started to circulate. This combined with the limited spending caused by the rationing resulted in a rise of general wealth throughout the population. Now after the war was over these factories that had been working like crazy to mass produce military goods found themselves needing to produce consumer goods instead. So they started to produce tons of consumer goods which promoted heavy spending by the general population. This combined with a sort of technological boom created a huge increase in our economic growth as a country.

In the US, the Great Depression in the US, which was shared to a large degree by many European nations, did shape the American landscape in a negative fashion. Society in the US suffered. The depression was ended by WW 2. Firstly, it began to produce products for the warring nations in Europe. Thus jobs grew as well as industry. America's forced entry into WW 2 was sad for the deaths it caused. However, unless Nazi Germany and Imperial japan were defeated. America would stand alone as the only major democracy n the world.

How did the baby boom happen?
During the Great Depression, the birthrate went down drastically b/c people could not afford to have babies. When WW2 began, it ended the depression and an economic boom began. As an effect, the birthrate shot up because people were prospering and could once again afford to have and take care of babies. The baby boom did not actually begin before the end of WW II. In the western world, the birth rate was in decline during the Great Depression and it remained quite low until the single men/women of the armed forces returned to civilian life and took spouses. The " Baby Boom " is generally regarded as the period from late 1946 to the early 60's -- a time of economic recovery that moved into unparalleled prosperity by the mid- '50s. That period coincided with the prime fertility years of those returning war veterans.
