Wars lead to recessions because of the opportunity costs associated with them. However, this is much more than a recession. The war would have resulted in general economic unhealthiness--speculation as a form of growth, rather than the production of goods and services. The correction of this unhealthiness, by itself, would have led to a pretty bad recession. However, the factors really behind the economy falling off a cliff, are purely financial and economic in nature.
