I feel that the most important event that occured between 1941 and 1974 in Chudacoff is World War II. ” The war put America back to work” (p216). The war eased our way out of the depression. Military spending was on the rise as well as Federal funding. There was an increase in job opportunities. Coporate profits increased as well as salaries and wages. Newcomers were also beginning to move into industrial cities.
