Most roads in the 1940s were built primarily due to the demands of World War II, which necessitated efficient transportation for military personnel and supplies. The U.S. government invested heavily in infrastructure to support war efforts, leading to improvements and expansions of existing road networks. Additionally, the post-war period saw increased automobile ownership and economic growth, further driving the need for better roads to facilitate civilian travel and commerce.

What tribe built a thousand miles of road to capital city?

It is most extremely unlikely that a tribe (which by definition is not a big social group) would build thousands of miles of roads. It takes an empire to build thousands of miles of roads. This empire was the vast Roman Empire, which was the second largest empire antiquity saw and was and the 17th largest in history. The Romans built 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles) or roads throughout the Roman Empire. Of these, 20% (80,500 kilometres, 50,313 miles) were the famous stone-paved roads. Of course, most of these roads did not go to Rome, the capital of the empire. Not surprisingly, the roads which went directly to Rome were in Italy. There were nineteen of them. Many of these had only a regional reach.
