Only when the nation began to prepare for World War II, along with massive purchases of American goods from abroad (and American rearmament), did the Great Depression come to an end. By 1939 the economy was on an upswing and by 1940, after war had begun in Europe, the Great Depression was history. As factories met orders for war materials, they hired more people and those people used their paychecks to purchase items from other businesses. As men were drafted into the military, women were hired to take some of those jobs, thus adding more money to the economy.
