Answer 1

a.) prices dropped automatically after millitary demand for goods dropped.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the United States, the post-World War II period was one of peace and prosperity. Americans used the money they had saved during World War II to buy consumer goods that were not available during the conflict. With the subsequent boom in the economy, thousands of people found employment in the United States. Americans were making more money and the nation had the highest standard of living in the world.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had ruled the United States during the years 1933-1945, fought the Great Depression of the 1930s by increasing the role of government in the national economy. This "big government" policy was continued by postwar US presidents.

The presidents of the center-left Democratic Party have promoted social change and greater economic equality in the United States. Harry Truman (1945-1953) raised the minimum wage, built homes for the poor, and expanded US Social Security. John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) initiated various government programs to provide job opportunities for the poor and provide economic security for the elderly and disabled. Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) founded the Department of Energy to conserve and develop energy research and the Department of Education to improve the US education system.
