The great depression seemed to hit the American people a lot harder then the cuban missile crisis. American people were forced to live in shanty towns which they named 'Hoovervilles' after the president...The riff with Cuba though has still has not been sorted out completed with the US...

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia, and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire). The war caused the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe and the Middle East.

Tough one. War sucks, but other countries helped us in the old days, we've made alliances, we should do our part to help.

There is no one answer.  The "New Deal" made a big difference, as did World War II.  \n\nWWII was likely the largest factor.  At the end of WWII, The United States, The Soviet Union, and Japan were the only nations left standing.  Those three economies blossomed beyond all expectations (including the Soviet Union until the end of the cold war)

Unofficially, the US was involved with WWII from the beginning, by sending supplies to the Allies.\nOfficially, in 1941.

Almost all wars involve economic resorces. Ideological subplots abound, however it's mostly resources. The command economy of the Soviet Union was incompatable with the modified free markets in the U.S. and Western Europe.  The arms race was significant but it was only an extension of the economic warfare.

I was not around then but definitely studied history and this comes to mind:\n\nPresident H. Hoover, 1932 - government loans to banks.  End of November 1,493 banks have suspended operations.  \n\nIt already started crashing from the America's economy in the 1920's to a sudden end in Oct 1929 - before the Wall Street Crash.   Then America started facing economical crisis that even impacted other coutries including Germany, a country that built up their economy on American loans.  Then the wealth from the 20's was dissapearing fast.\n\nThe rich lost money on Wall Street crash. The rest of Americans could not afford to lose any money then. Afterwards, noone had money to invest nor to buy comsumer products. \n\nThere was not shopping of any kind, and stores, factories, farmers, restaurants, industries, had no reason to employ people who were making products that were not being sold. \n\nUnemployment reigned. The depression took a while to get going but by the winter of 1932, it reached his top.\n\nAt the time there where: 12 million people out of work, 12,000 people being made unemployed every day, 20,000 companies had gone bankrupt, 1616 banks had gone bankrupt, 1 farmer in 20 evicted, and sadly, 23,000 people committed suicide in one year - the highest ever in the history of the US.\n\nIn addition: we had many social problem which, in spite of being such rich country we continue to have.  They were and still are:\n\nUnemployment and poverty \nBreakdown of families\nSoaring high school dropout rates (2 to 4 million)\nHomelessness\nOrganized protests\n\nAt the time, the American people  laid the blame on:\n"Three B's" then responsible for the Wall Street Crash and the Depression:\n\nThe "Bankers"\nThe "Brokers"\nThe "Businessmen"\n\nI am not sure this answer your question but that what I thought of as soon as I saw your date onthe screen!\n\nBye....

I'd say WWI, after WWII the soviets and Americans were pretty much at eachother's throats and the advent of the atomic age ensured heightened levels of paranoia from all sides now that a single bomber could level a city.\n\nAfter WWI things could have gone a lot better if the allied powers weren't so harsh on germany (but that goes back to the french's stupidity during the napoleonic wars, but I digress) and if the stock market hadn't crashed hitler would have had a much harder time coming to power.

America got involved in World War I because of the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman telegram. (Germany asked Mexico to attack the US and Germany promised they could have Texas and California back!)

It went through a tremendous transformation.  The lies of constant production resulting in needed constant obsolescence were largely developed then.  "A healthy economy" became defined as the rich getting richer.\n\nEngland and Europe ended owing American huge war debts and since their infrastructure was largely damaged Americans could sell almost anything they produced for several years after the war.

how world war one led to the economic depression in the 1930's and how that later led to world war two

pretty much all of america was against it but we had an obligation as allies to the european nations at war so we got involved anyway. it was a totally pointless war in the first place and popular american sentiment was to let the euros handle their own problems instead of sending our young men to die which i couldn't agree with more. isolationism rocks!

If you are talking the first years of the 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt dramatically expanded the role of US power on a global basis. He sent out the "Great White Fleet" as an example of American military power.\nBefore 1900, the United States had kept pretty much within this hemisphere; we protected our economic interests in Latin America, but let Europe run most of the rest of the world.\nThe US began to expand its global reach starting in 1900. It didn't reach full superpower status until after World War II, but TR laid the groundwork for it to happen.

That idea formed when WW!! sped up the recovery from the great depression.  War causes an increase in government expenditures and has increased the national debt, which evenually could lead to higher taxes, then there is interest rates, to curb inflation, and thus recession following the war

The answer to these few questions will help out:\n- When was the US Stock Market Crash?\n- What had Germany just admitted guilt to (think of a big treaty named after a big place and a big event in history that had just happened)?\n- What political party began to take hold in the German government?\n- Who did the Germans stereotype as being responsible for the economic depression?
