America's entrance into World War II helped end the Great Depression.
When America entered World War II on December 8, 1941, it helped to jumpstart the economy. This is due to the fact that million of men went to serve over seas in either the European or Pacific theatres. The enrollment of these men left millions of factory jobs open for other citizens. This resulted in African Americans and women becoming increasingly important to the war effort and the American economy. Along with this, the need for war materials increased demand for production, resulting in businesses hiring more workers.
