How did the American government help to settle down the WW2 veterans after the war ended?

Answer 1

Education - - - as said The GI Bill - - - thousands of men in their twenties were essentially given two to four or more years of an education/vacation expected to learn a vocation that would further enhance the Nation and it worked. According to History the late 1940's well into the 1950's were among the most vital vibrant era in US higher education. Many of these men & women would have most likely gone to semi skilled or menial type jobs, or even traditional jobs without the added boost of things people learn in College/University if it wasn't for this push to education. And it paid off - - - suddenly thousands were training to become doctors, dentists, lawyers (mixed blessings) but most of all degrees in business and in the arts, many of America's finest Actors ended up on the Silver Screen due to the generosity of the GI Bill. It paid off for America which 'suddenly' had a large class of college/university level professionals.

Aside from the GI Bill, the expanded US Military made it safe for many Blacks to pursue a Career especially when Harry S Truman forcefully ended segreation in the services (an UNPOPULAR act DURING an Election Year). The Cold War meant that many combat trained men and a few women could find employment Spying.

The US also backed mortgage loans at an incredible level compared to pre-war standards, and so many veterans could start life in a house w/ a yard ...

Gonna throw links at snippets at you.

This says it well, especially the education bit...

""" The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944—commonly known as the GI Bill of Rights—Some shunned the idea of paying unemployed veterans $20 a week because they thought it diminished their incentive to look for work. Others Questioned the concept of sending battle-hardened veterans to colleges and universities, a privilege then reserved for the rich.
Despite their differences, all agreed something must be done to help veterans assimilate into civilian life.
Much of the urgency stemmed from a desire to avoid the missteps following World War I, when discharged veterans got little more than a $60 allowance and a train ticket home.
During the Great Depression, some veterans found it difficult to make a living. Congress tried to intervene
by passing the World War Adjusted Act of 1924, commonly known as the Bonus Act. The law provided a bonus based on the number of days served. But there was a catch: most veterans wouldn't see a dime for 20 years.
A group of veterans marched on Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1932 to demand full payment of their bonuses. When they didn't get it, most went home. But some decided to stick around until they got paid. They were later kicked out of town following a bitter standoff with U.S. troops. The incident marked one of the greatest periods of unrest our nation's capital had ever known.
The return of millions of veterans from World War II gave Congress a chance at redemption. But the GI Bill had far greater implications. It was seen as a genuine attempt to thwart a looming social and economic crisis. Some saw inaction as an invitation to another depression.
Harry W. Colmery, a former national commander of the American Legion and former Republican National Chairman, is credited with drawing up the first draft of the GI Bill. It was introduced in the House on Jan. 10, 1944, and in the Senate the following day. Both chambers approved their own versions of the bill.
But the struggle was just heating up. The bill almost died when Senate and House members came together to debate their versions. Both groups agreed on the education and home loan benefits, but were deadlocked on the unemployment provision.
Ultimately, Rep. John Gibson of Georgia was rushed in to cast the tie-breaking vote. The Senate approved the final form of the bill on June 12, and the House followed on June 13. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed it into law on June 22, 1944.
The Veterans Administration (VA) was responsible for carrying out the law's key provisions: education and training, loan guaranty for homes, farms or businesses, and unemployment pay.
Before the war, college and homeownership were, for the most part, unreachable dreams for the average American. Thanks to the GI Bill, millions who would have flooded the job market instead opted for education. In the peak year of 1947, veterans accounted for 49 percent of college admissions. By the time the original GI Bill ended on July 25, 1956, 7.8 million of 16 million World War II veterans had participated in an education or training program.

Millions also took advantage of the GI Bill's home loan guaranty. From 1944 to 1952, VA backed nearly 2.4 million home loans for World War II veterans.

While veterans embraced the education and home loan benefits, few collected on one of the bill's most controversial provisions—the unemployment pay. Less than 20 percent of funds set aside for this were used.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
signs the G.I. Bill into law President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Statement
on Signing the G.I. Bill
June 22, 1944

This bill, which I have signed today,
substantially carries out most of the recommendations made by me in a
speech on July 28, 1943, and more
specifically in messages to the
Congress dated October 27, 1943,
and November 23, 1943:

1. It gives servicemen and women the opportunity of resuming their education or technical training after discharge, or of taking a refresher or retrainer course, not only without tuition charge up to $500 per school year, but with the right to receive a monthly living allowance while pursuing their studies.

2. It makes provision for the guarantee by the Federal Government of not to exceed 50 percent of certain loans made to veterans for the purchase or construction of homes, farms, and business properties.

3. It provides for reasonable unemployment allowances payable each week up to a maximum period of one year, to those veterans who are unable to find a job.

4. It establishes improved machinery for effective job counseling for veterans and for finding jobs for returning soldiers and sailors.

5. It authorizes the construction of all necessary additional hospital facilities.

6. It strengthens the authority of the Veterans Administration to enable it to discharge its existing and added responsibilities with promptness and efficiency.

With the signing of this bill a well-rounded program of special veterans' benefits is nearly completed. It gives emphatic notice to the men and women in our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down.

By prior legislation, the Federal Government has already provided for the armed forces of this war: adequate dependency allowances; mustering-out pay; generous hospitalization, medical care, and vocational rehabilitation and training; liberal pensions in case of death or disability in military service; substantial war risk life insurance, and guaranty of premiums on commercial policies during service; protection of civil rights and suspension of enforcement of certain civil liabilities during service; emergency maternal care for wives of enlisted men; and reemployment rights for returning veterans.

This bill therefore and the former legislation provide the special benefits which are due to the members of our armed forces -- for they "have been compelled to make greater economic sacrifice and every other kind of sacrifice than the rest of us, and are entitled to definite action to help take care of their special problems." While further study and experience may suggest some changes and improvements, the Congress is to be congratulated on the prompt action it has taken. """

Answer 2

Wars are regularly human tragedies, in which members, squaddies or civilians, are killed, ransomed, compelled out in their houses and international locations, deported, and so forth... From the point of view of members, there aren't any well wars, even supposing folks can also be comfortable to head out combating, just like the French and German squaddies in 1914. From the factor of view of politicians and the welfare of states, wars are unluckily vital: WW2 made thousands of casualties however Nazism needed to be destroyed, and the Korea and Vietnam wars have been additionally vital to quit communism from taking up the sector. So struggle is a intricate subject. One of the problems regarding struggle is the benefit of technological know-how throughout struggle-time: for illustration, electronics and computer systems might no longer exist with out the specifications of WW2.

Answer 3
