The Great Depression began on October 29th, 1929; World War II is generally agreed to have begun almost a decade later, on September 1st, 1939. The Great Depression therefore could not have been caused by World War II - in fact, many believe that World War II, and the massive military buildup which it engendered, which in turn kickstarted the American industrial sector, was a large contributor to the ending of the Great Depression.
