Question

While researching a history paper, you see a graph that shows federal spending on defense in the past 200 years. You notice that federal spending throughout the late 1900s shows much more spending on defense than in previous decades. What development most likely caused this sustained increase in US peacetime defense spending?

Answer 1

Well for starters, World War I started in 1914, so that would sort of require precautionary defences. Then in 1917, we joined the war after Germany sunk one of our ocean liners.

Answer 2
