Answer 1

In the wake of the Great Depression and World War II, it would not have been surprising to see Americans engage in the hedonism of the 1920s. But instead, Americans adopted a more sober view of life. This may reflect the realization of how the unrestrained growth of the twenties contributed to the Depression or an understanding of America's new role as superpower. Students should show the growing interest in home ownership and family building, along with the idea that women belonged in the home. Better students should also point out how the G.I. Bill made many of these dreams possible, as well as how the rapid transformation of the economy back to civilian production made good jobs available for millions of Americans.

Answer 2

Students may interpret this question in any number of ways. The Marshall Plan enjoys a favorable reputation for using American economic strength to rebuild Western Europe and create strong allies. On the other hand, the Truman Doctrine did provide assistance to anti-Communist forces. The decision to expand military spending and build a hydrogen bomb, promoted by NSC 68, encouraged an arms race, which may not have promoted American security at all.
