Postwar Confidence and Anxiety

Chapter 13-1: An Economic Boom You have learned That Americans in the 1920s made mistakes that led to the Great Depression. That World War II gave enough of an economic push to the country’s economy that the unemployment rate fell from 25% to 1%. Now you will learn How the United States changed economically, socially, and politically, following the Second World War.

Build Background Knowledge How might providing a free education to millions of men change their lives and society? How might millions of new babies change society? What guarantees were there that after the war the Great Depression would not return?
