The interstate highway system came about from lessons learned in WWII.

The Germans had built the Autobahn system

Every country in the world noticed how quick you could move men and equipment with this system even though the Germans had not been able to use their system effectively due to fuel shortages.

When the war ended the cold war started, this really brought the need for this system to the attention of both European and American governments.

Thus was built the interstate highway system
