The industrial base of the United States required extensive reconstruction because it was severely damaged during World War II.TrueFalse

The statement is False.

While World War II caused significant damage to infrastructure in many countries, the United States emerged from the war with its industrial base relatively intact. In fact, the U.S. industrial sector expanded during the war due to increased production needs for military supplies and equipment. The U.S. was able to support its allies through programs like the Lend-Lease Act, which further stimulated its economy and industry. Post-war, the U.S. underwent a transition to peacetime production, but there was no extensive need for reconstruction of its industrial base as seen in war-torn Europe or Asia.
