How did they stop the "Great Depression" in the U.S?? and who stopped it?

Question

And what happen on Dec 11 that will live in infamy!????

I will choose you as the best answer if your right :)

Answer 1

Germany and Italy declared war on us on Dec. 11, 1941, and WW11 did stop the depression.

Answer 2

Adolf Hitler and the Japanese military leadership can be given the credit for ending the Great Depression. The advent of WWII gave the U.S. and other economies, including the Axis economies, a renewed purpose to revive themselves. FDR's New Deal programs had been around for several years with only limited successes.

Answer 3

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a 4 term president who stopped the Great Depression with the "New Deal" and various other actions.

I could be wrong but I believe Dec. 11 was when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, thus getting the US into WWII.

Answer 4

The Great Depression started to get better once Franklin D.Roosevelt was elected to the presidential office in '32. He created several "New Deals" which helped bring the Great Depression to a slow-down. He also created the Social Security that we have now. Also it wasn't Dec. 11th that lived in famy, it was Dec. 7. That was the date in which Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, causing America to enter WWII.  

Answer 5

WWII

Answer 6

Oh dear!  It wasn't the 11th of December, "A date that will live in infamy!"  But rather, December 7th!  The great depression came to an end abruptly when the U.S. was attacked and dragged into what was to become known as World War Two.  Prior to that attack, the president (FDR), had introduced a number of new programs designed to get America working again.  Unfortunately, those programs, cost money.  And the government didn't have any.  So, FDR gutted the already skeletonized military.  Meaning, those few who were still on active duty and gainfully employed were suddenly made unemployed, turned loose to an economy already down and out with no jobs available and channeled that money into his "New Deal" programs.  He drove us deep into debt and gutted the military when war was looming on every horizon as far as the eye could see.  Experts in economics now tell us through their studies and models that FDR's New Deal actually set the economic recovery of the nation back almost ten full years.  Some of those "short term solutions" we are still paying for today!
