Explanation:

The United States became the world's leading industrial power in the early twentieth century due to an explosion of entrepreneurial spirit in the Northeast and Midwest and the arrival of millions of immigrant workers and farmers in Europe. The national rail network was completed with the work of Chinese immigrants and large-scale mining and industrialized factories in the Northeast and Midwest. The massive discontent with corruption, inefficiency and traditional politics stimulated the progressive movement, from the 1890s to the 1920s, which led to many social and political reforms. In 1920, the 19th amendment to the Constitution guaranteed women's suffrage (right to vote). This followed amendments 16 and 17 in 1913, which established the first national income tax and the direct election of American senators to Congress. Initially neutral during the First World War, the United States declared war on Germany in 1917 and later financed the Allied victory the following year.

After a prosperous decade in the 1920s, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the decade of the Great Depression world. The Democratic president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, put an end to the Republican domination of the White House and implemented its New Deal programs for relief, recovery and reform. The New Deal, which defined modern American liberalism, included relief for the unemployed, support for farmers, Social Security and a minimum wage. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States entered the Second World War along with Great Britain, the Soviet Union, China and the fewest allied nations. The United States financed the Allied war effort and helped defeat Nazi Germany in European theater. Their participation culminated in the use of newly invented nuclear weapons in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945) that helped defeat Imperial Japan in the theater of the Pacific.
