Each person had to build a home on the land, make improvements, and farm the land for five years before being granted full ownership of the land by the government.

What was not true about the economy at the end of world war 2
shtirl [24]
The correct answer here - that wasn't true for the economies at the end of the World War II was that the GNP and corporate profits doubled. 

What did happen though was that almost every country that was involved in this conflict found its resources to be mostly depleted and this in no way meant that corporate profits were being doubled.  Hope this helps!!!
