Government spending significantly increased from the 1930s to the 1940s, primarily due to the economic demands of World War II. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, government expenditures were focused on relief and recovery programs, such as the New Deal initiatives aimed at stimulating the economy. However, by the 1940s, military spending surged to support the war effort, leading to a dramatic rise in overall government spending as the U.S. ramped up production and mobilization. This transition marked a shift from domestic recovery efforts to large-scale military investment.
