Historian A: John Smith – Economic Perspective
"Historian A argues that the US government’s focus on economic growth and war production was crucial in shaping the home front.

This perspective emphasizes the importance of economic factors in supporting the war effort and transforming American society during the conflict."

Her view underscores social dynamics as key to understanding the home front during WW1."
