No, dumbass. WW2 did not end the Depression. That's as dumb as saying that we should pay people to break windows and fix them again.

The reason the USA was in relatively good shape in 1946 is because most of Europe and Asia were in ruins. The USA was the only country that didn't have to rebuild itself, so the dollar was strong.
