The period of time from Arizona statehood through the second world war was a time of growth and change for the new state. Ups and downs in the economy and the two world wars made life for Arizonans interesting and sometimes tramatic.
The historian will be looking at some sites with information about Arizona's role in both WWI and WWII and Arizona's economy including the boom time of the 20's, FDR's New Deal and the changes brought on by WWII.
