Truman's Fair Deal

Question 1 • S1S-OC: US History B (E1212 - AG)

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

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

Explanation

After World War II, millions of soldiers returned home and needed work as the economy shifted from wartime production to peacetime life. Finding jobs for thousands of returning soldiers was therefore a major economic challenge. The Great Depression had already ended, and negotiating peace terms was a diplomatic rather than economic challenge.
