In addition to physical and emotional damage that war brings to the people including the soldiers, war has economic consequences. This is undeniable fact, because war requires funds and resources. The weapons that are created for war requires these funds and resources. However, war does not only bring negative effect to the economy. Before entering WWII, United States was suffering from the Great Depression. The participation boosted the economy by decreasing the unemployment rate. On the other hand, war also brings negative effect. There is a win-lose situation. At the end of a war, there will be those who gain from the war and those who lost from the war.
