The influence of WWII on USAThe United States after the economic prosperity of the twenties and global synchronization in the great depression. However, after the Second World War, the United States emerged as one of the most powerful country in the world economy; obviously, "the second world war" has a significant and far-reaching influence on the U.S. economy.On October 29, 1929, the Wall Street stock market crash, the famous American economic depression officially began. By 1932, gross industrial production was reduced by 45%, the per capita income decreased by 40%, thirteen million, two million people are homeless, five thousand bank failures, nine million accounts were frozen. Such gallant hook is unique in American history.Of course, the U.S. government did not sit at that time. President hover in office has issued a series of stimulating economic policies, such as increasing tariffs "smote - Hawley tariff act to stimulate housing construction and the federal home loan Banks". Unfortunately, the economy and, therefore, is not reversed, resulting in the hover even as a failure. After Roosevelt took office in 1932, still has issued a New Deal to rescue the economy, contains a series of relief for the people and the reform of industrial and agricultural policy. When everything is slowly improving, in 1937 America's economy once again falling, unemployment returned to 1932 levels. When all the valley of despair, the Second World War broke out. At that time, no one can think of, "two wars" at the end of the U.S. economic recovery unexpectedly: the unemployment rate fell to 1.9%, GDP rose twice at the beginning of the second world war period."The second world war" a great impact on the U.S. economy is that it increases the total demand and production, especially weapons, the fire and food. After the First World War, the United States most people are tired of disputes involved in Europe, and value during the great depression, so the United States did not immediatelyinvolved in the Second World War. However, when fighting in Europe and Asia, the us government know they are always preparing for war. In addition to strengthen the military, recruiting buy horse, the government will also to military supplies industrial transformation, many car production line to start producing fighter aircraft parts, fishing port also docked the ship, more and more had abandoned the factory start the production again. Of Britain in 1941 after the war, the U.S. government enacted the loan act, as a neutral country to go out military supplies, and further increase the need of military supplies. Righteousness GDP reaches $174.84, compared to $136.44 in 1943 increased by 28.14%.There are many reasons of unemployment rate. One of the most obvious is the most important reason is that the growth of the demand for Labors. A lot of abandoned factories reopen, many because of the recession and the unemployed back to work. Not only that, according to statistics, there are nearly 105 m was unable to find work, such as minors or didn't go to work, such as housewife who also joined the Labors market because of the war.Not only women in the job market to get the benefits of the war, has been in weak black American society also benefit because of the Second World War. Labor shortages during the war, the market should develop human resources as much as possible, but a lot of people on hiring blacks still hesitant because of the prejudice against blacks and contempt. In order to solve this problem, in 1941, President Roosevelt established a fair workers committee, to ensure that everyone can working in military industry fair, regardless of the color of skin, race and nationality. To 1943, the commission has established offices in 16 cities, is responsible for the employment for blacks and deal with the issue of unfair treatment of blacks. After a series of policies issued, from 1940 to 1940, the black in the job market of the ratio rose to 16.2% from 23.9%.In the last century, the status of the blacks in the United States is more and more high, and one of the most changes occurred in the 40 s. Therefore, "" world war ii accelerated the black American economyThe above is obtained in the Second World War in the United States directinterests. Indirect ways, on a price to pay for the war, mainly displays in: first, in terms of casualties, the United States in the Second World War casualties, there are about 418500 people, accounted for 0.32% of the population, it compared with other countries the number of casualties is very few. The British lost 449800 people, accounting for 0.94% of the population; The French lost 567600, accounting for 1.35% of the population; The Soviet union lost 23100000 people, accounting for 13.7% of the population, Japan and Germany lost the domestic population of 3.45% and 10.4% respectively. Second, since the Second World War "basic does not take place in the United States; the United States has almost no direct economic losses. In other countries, by contrast, was much more serious loss, Britain was the German air force bombing day and night, the Soviet union invaded by Germany for a year, the havoc of the two atomic bombs in Japan, Germany after the war is divided, and so on. To sum up, during the period of "war" in the other world powers to suffer.To sum up, during the period of "war" in the war damage to the other world powers to stop economic growth, the United States with little loss to the war at the same time accelerate the development of the economy. Therefore, after the Second World War the United States overtook them to become the world's strongest economies. American post-war economic policies in accordance with the time, is divided into four stages: the first stage, the end of the Second World War to the end of the 60 s, Keynesian popular in the United States. Truman and Eisenhower administration in order to solve the employment problem to promote the production and consumption, and keep a balanced budget. The Kennedy and Johnson administrations, respectively, puts forward the "new frontier" and "great society" platform; the massive deficits are the most frequent policy, in order to reduce the unemployment rate, promote economic growth and poverty reduction. Although these means to alleviate the crisis but also caused a huge budget deficit, high public debt, serious inflation. The second stage, in the 70 s of the 20th century, the troubled U.S. economy into a "stagflation", Keynesian failure. At this time the government used interchangeably deficit to tighten fiscal policy and fiscal policy, but did not eliminate the "stagflation". The third stage,in 80 s, Ronald Reagan came to power, advocated the theory of supply-side economics and monetary school, with large cuts in government spending and tightening monetary to curb inflation; with massive tax cuts and increasing defense spending to treat the stagnation of production. At the same time, the us economy started to pick up and sustained growth, inflation and unemployment, but because the increase in military spending in the fiscal deficit increased year after year. The fourth stage, in the 90 s, Clinton took office after the implementation of "macroeconomic control, micro autonomous" economic policy, vigorously fosters the high-tech industry, and eliminates the fiscal deficit; solve the employment problem, the United States into the era of the "new economy". Stage 5, was just the global financial crisis, the Obama stimulus plan proposed by the government for the United States senate, the house of representatives agreement, this is so-called since the second world war the United States the largest economic stimulus plan, plan sums up to 7872 dollars.Before the Second World War, the United States is in a recession, no matter how hard the government is unable to save the weakness of the U.S. economy increasingly. But after the start of the Second World War, due to the increased demand of military industry, the industry a full recovery, the job market to expand women and blacks, the unemployment rate also gradually reduced, return to normal levels. In the United States enjoy the economic recovery at the same time, the economy of various powers in Europe and Asia is damaged by the war, America quickly beyond them into the emerging economic powers and has kept till now. Therefore, the influence of "the second world war to the American economy is significant and far-reaching, even without the second world war, there is no United States today.。
