The United States emerged from World War 1 as a leading <u>economical</u> nation. At the end of the war, the U.S. was part of the group which was not as devastated as other ones, because they are a Industrial country and during the war they continued producing at levels much higher that before, the increases did not stop. Their mobilization was extraordinary. It is important to say that the U.S. sent around 200,000 persons to fight, who were just enough to have impact, because France, for example, was sending more than 2,000,000 persons. <u>Spending not as much as the other countries</u> who were fighting and still making what they needed, helped them to grow up.
