Abstract
The United States entered the First World War in April 1917 and was actively engaged until the Armistice of November 1918. Although the American economy was affected by the war in one way or another from the time of its outbreak in Europe in 1914, the main direct effects were felt in 1917 and 1918, while in many respects conditions in 1919 constituted a continuation of the war economy.
