Connection Across Time

The U.S. entering World War I had a great impact. If The U.S. had not entered World War I, the Great Depression would not have been as costly and dreaded as it was. Americans suffered great economic failure during and after the war. The war drained America's military supplies, finances, and manpower, and also businesses and industries on the home front failed. The federal government's money supply was depleted as well. The money was spent on the costly process of running a World War. Our economy as a whole would be better today if we had not entered World War I.
