Yes, but even that didn’t tell the real story, after lengthening the depression for seven years it was only WWII that actually refocused America, restarted it’s industry and stopped the depression in it’s tracks. If it hadn’t been for WWII, we would still be living in Kenyan huts on $12 a day.

After WWII, American industry was then turned onto consumer goods, and improving life for all.

Ronald Reagan,’s economy, in eight yeras, created 15 million good paying jobs, proving that the correct formula is trickle down economics, not trickle up poverty.

Well, Looks like we need another World War to jumpstart our economy and the world's.

Good excuse to invade Russia and North Korea ( let's throw in Syria and Venezuela to make it a REAL world war ).

“The Politically-Incorrect Guide to American History” actually addresses the belief that WWII was what brought us out of the depression, denying said belief as false.

According to the book, it was the return to normal free-market capitalism and the death of FDR (and thus, no more reason to live in fear of what new economic outrages he would do) that brought back prosperity.
