Question

How did world war 2 impact american economy

Answer 1

Answer:

World war 2 was a time that no one will forget. Lives were lost. The United States chose to get involved after the bombing of Pearl harbor. The bombing of Pearl Harbor put many Americans at risk and the U.S had no choice but to hit back. After it was obvious that the U.S was going to win and Japan wasn't going to surrender any time soon, the U.S dropped not one, but two atomic bombs. These atomic bombs destroyed Japan in ways Americans didn't think were possible. Obviously, the U.S felt guilty, but it was too late, too many lives were lost and the U.S will never forget that. But there was a good side to it as well, women were working more than ever. Men and women were needed but men were mainly getting into the military. Women took the chance to help work in factories and other places while their husbands were serving time. This reduced the unemployment rate in the U.S a great deal and changed the role of women in society. Women were no longer stay-at-home moms, they worked, and without them, who knows if the U.S would've won if it weren't for all of those women who helped work in factories to produce tanks and airplanes as well as many other weapons. Weapons, airplanes, tanks, and other items were being created at such a fast rate it was almost impossible for any country to defeat the U.S. Although many lives were lost during WWII, the economy and women's role in the U.S was greatly improved.
