It was transformed through the duration of the early phase of World War 2 when US joined the Allied Forces after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US economy become a wartime economy to suffice and supply the need of the Allied Forces in the field and to provide the equipment to combat the opponents. They transformed a lot of factories into weapons factories and constructed a lot of military camps throughout the country.
