So then why weren't all these resources being used to build our own country prior to 1942? Answer: We were in a depression. That the war got us out of the Depression is obvious.
You claim it is not so. Yet, you fail to tell us what then did get us out of the Depression.
So, if not the war, then what got us out of the Depression?
the end of the war was what got us out of the depression. When the leash of the government was removed, the economy grew. When there is a World War, noone is willing to invest, as theres way too many risk. Once the war ended and government controlled was removed, the free enterprise system flourished
You confused correlation with cause and effect.
If you still think I’m wrong. You need to ask yourself this question. What is in wars that actually helps the economy? Is it the building of tanks? Is it the killing of people? What if we can replicate this activity without the killing of lives? Would you support it?
