What role did advertising play in transforming america into a consumer society?

History
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
6 0
During and after WWI, America experienced rapid growth due to the fact that pretty much the rest of the western civilization was demolished. American businesses were selling to Europe, and obviously earned a lot of profit. There was a lot of opportunity, and people wanted to spend their extra money on fun things. Advertisers and Marketers capitalized on that, and started a shift into more consumeristic thinking. With the advent of electricity, tons of home appliances were created and marketed, emphasizing the "buy now and pay later" approach. With all of the kitchen appliances, the era of domesticity ended, and women were free to go do other things such as have jobs or pursue fun activities.
The economy thrived, money was created out of nothing (compound interest, etc), which lead to a bubble and eventual collapse in 1929.
Hope this helps! :)

Through what other countries did north vietnamese troops move to invade south vietnam? ​​
Margarita [4]
Cambodia and Lao--these neighboring countries were the path for the North Vietnamese to reach the southern parts of Vietnam more quickly. 

Cambodia and Laos would be the located of the HoChi Minh Trail which was the supply line from the North to the South. Many parts of the trail were underground and difficult to get rid of. The US resorted to air strikes of the two countries which was controversial because they were technically neutral areas.
