world war 1
rewatch

Explanation:

The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to around the late 1930s. World War 2 (WW2) began in 1939 (with U.S. involvement increasing later), and the increased military spending during WW2 created jobs, boosted production, and stimulated the economy, helping to end the Great Depression. The Civil War was in the 1860s, the Revolutionary War in the 1770s - 1780s, and World War 1 ended in 1918, before the Great Depression's peak, so their military spending didn't end the Great Depression.

Answer:

C. World War 2 (Note: Assuming the options are labeled as A. The Civil War, B. The Revolutionary War, C. World War 2, D. World War 1. If the original labels differ, adjust the identifier but the text is "World War 2".)
