WWII, but that wasn't the primary reason. Originally it was done to give mid western famers more "daytime" with better hours, otherwise they'd be up at 4 am.
Then with the oil crunch of the 1970s Nixon tried a failed experiment to make it full time to conserve energy.
So argri-business, war and oil shortages all helped to make Daylight time a popular tool.
