The Great Depression occurred between World Wars I and II. The U.S. was still trying to regroup after it spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the first war, then the Great Depression came about, sending the economy into more turmoil. The U.S. was still feeling the effects of the depression when it was dragged into World War II in 1941.

Because of a booming postwar economy, Americans lived much more comfortably than they did during the Depression. There were many new inventions to make life easier and more enjoyable. Also, The US emerged from World War 2 as the most powerful country in the world, and Americans took pride in this. They were interested in living life instead of escaping from it, and they had much brighter expectations for the future than during the 1930's. Suburban communities began to develop, whereas before the war it was mostly urban or rural in the US. The nuclear family (father, mother, children) replaced the extended family (father, mother, children, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents).
