What were the political economic social and cultural effects of world war 2?

Answer 1

Many Americans joined churches and synagogues during the post war era. By 1960 sixty-five percent of Americans were official communicants. The sale of Bibles and religious themed books and movies thrived. President Eisenhower encouraged Americans back to God. Congress added the phrase "under God" to Pledge of Allegiance and "in God we trust" mandatory on all currency. Many ministers would avoid condemnation, criticism, and controversy and would reassure people that their way of life was God's will. Ministers would use radio and television to gather many Americans to join churches and attend revival meetings. Then there were others who criticized those who identified the United States the only true providential society and who used faith as a place for social status. These advocates known a neo-orthodoxy argued that the gospel of good news was a way of sociability.

Answer 2

Politically, World War II divided Europe between free and communist countries. Economically, Europe was destroyed and without the Marshall Plan would have collapsed. In the Communist countries, the economy was nationalized and trade with non-communist countries practically disappeared. Culturally, Israel was set up to give Jewish people a country, Japan went from Monarchy to Democracy, Germany was divided in two.
