Answer 1

Other stuff besides the war had an effect. One of the largest was the sudden baby boom. (more born but also fewer die because of better medicines) you also need to consider the effect of industrialism on the farm(fewer farmers needed) and the resulting move into industrial cities. This was made easy by the increased number of manufacturing jobs. (partly a result of wartime production increases) The expansion of housing needs for new families and the availability of cars lead to suburban development(called a move out of the city) and the creation of shopping malls. This was all fired by increased credit to expand the money supply. Greater production of manufactured goods creates the "consumer society". that is enough for now. These trends were all there before but the war ended the attempt by monetarists to control the depression by raising interest rates and forcing wages lower.

I believe a lot of people were afraid of the atomic bomb, that's why a lot of them built bomb shelters and kids had bomb drills in schools.
