Question

What happened to the American economy after World War I? The economy grew slowly. The economy declined. The economy grew quickly. The economy stayed the same.

Answer 1

The correct answer is The economy grew quickly

After world war 1, the United States had one of the strongest economies in the world and entered the period of  the roaring twenties where everything was prospering. Due to this, people believed that this would never end and started investing in stocks which led to the downfall of US during the great depression.

Answer 2

The right answer is The economy grew quickly.

The ten years between 1919 and the onset of the Great Depression at the end of 1929 encompassed a period of unprecedented economic prosperity and cultural experimentation as well as political conservatism and religious fundamentalism. The large, growing middle class of Americans who had formed an important segment of the progressive political coalition was now absorbed instead into the prosperous “New Era” created by advances in communications, transportation, business organization, and the spread of mass consumerism.
