Answer:

The United States economy was great during World War One because the unemployment rate went down to 1.4%. Causing more people to work in factories and for the government. The USA also took part of an active role in economic affairs DURING the war. But when the war ended Subsequent increases in federal spending resulted mainly from war-related matters (such as veterans' benefits).
