Question

Which of the following did NOT occur as a result of returning World War II soldiers? Returning WWII military men were met with intense hostility by the American public. They were many times called, "baby killers" and "evil". Returning WWI servicemen, due to the G. I. Bill, were able to attend college and get low-cost mortgage loans to buy a house. The United States experienced a huge increase in births (Baby Boom) due to returning WWII veterans getting married and having children. Some returning veterans experienced severe psychological problems known as "Shell Shock". Today we would call this PTSD.

Answer 1

Returning WWII soldiers were not met with hostility by the American public but were provided benefits such as education and housing through the GI Bill, leading to a Baby Boom and bolstering postwar economy. Some, however, did suffer from psychological issues similar to what is known today as PTSD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Returning World War II soldiers did not face intense hostility by the American public as described in the statement that they were called "baby killers" and "evil". This description is more accurate for the reception of some Vietnam War veterans. The period after WWII saw the United States government implementing the GI Bill, which provided various benefits to returning veterans, including unemployment compensation, funding for education, and low-cost mortgage loans for housing. The passage of the GI Bill helped avert a potential postwar economic crisis and facilitated the reintegration of veterans into civilian life. In addition, the country experienced a demographic shift known as the Baby Boom, characterized by a significant increase in births as veterans started or expanded their families. Despite mostly smooth reintegration for many, some veterans suffered from psychological trauma, known at the time as 'Shell Shock,' which would now be diagnosed as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
