Definition1/16
The Great Depression of the 1930's ended when the U.S entered
World War II. Entering war helps get out of an economic depression
because it takes men out of the work force and puts them in the
military, causing the rest of the U.S to enter the job market. Then
they mass produce many products which causes the economy to
boom.
