If you define depression by unemployment rates, yes, WWII ended it.

But living standards DECLINED during the war. What good is lower unemployment if you can’t buy things, travel, etc.? That’s Soviet economics. The USSR & Cuba bragged about their full employment.

“massive war spending doubled economic growth rates”
