Question 4 • United States History and Geography

What was one of the major economic challenges facing the nation following World War II?

Answer
A
working out peace terms with the other Allies
B
finding a way to end the Great Depression
C
finding jobs for thousands of returning soldiers
D
working out restrictions to halt consumer spending

Explanation

After World War II, millions of soldiers returned home and needed to find work as the economy shifted from wartime production to peacetime production. Finding jobs for returning soldiers was therefore a major economic challenge. The Great Depression had already ended before the war, and the nation was not trying to halt consumer spending.
