Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United States began to mobilize for World War II in the early 1940s, which led to increased government spending and job creation, effectively ending the Great Depression. The New Deal reforms initiated by President Roosevelt helped alleviate some of the economic hardships of the Depression, but it wasn't until the war effort that the economy fully recovered. As for the other choices, deficit spending actually increased during the New Deal and the United States never returned to the gold standard in 1940. The German hyperinflation in the 1920s is unrelated to the end of the Great Depression in the United States.
