Both actually. After the war the American economy boomed until about the 1930s, but by then the problem was that the economy had grown too fast and then it becomes really confusing for me. Suffice to say, we grew too big too fast and we had no mechanism to protect ourselves and we collapsed under our own weight which is what started the Great Depression.

Yes because the American industrys was selling material to other country's for guns and other weapons and they also put tarifs on foreighn goods.

So yes they did :)

Also when WW1 was over America, France, and some other big 'winners' of WW1 got together and made Germany sign clause 231 the 'guilt clause', which basically says that Germany takes full blame for WW1 and then Germany had to pay big reparations (money) to the 'winners' of WW1. so they got more money still
