in 2-3 sentences, what impact did the Cold War and the Vietnam War have on the people of Washington?
The Cold War and the Vietnam War had a significant impact on the people of Washington, as the state was home to many important military bases and defense contractors. The state experienced an economic boom due to increased federal spending, but protests against the Vietnam War also took place in Washington, including the infamous 1970 Kent State shootings.
In 2-3 sentences, What conditions account for the boom-and-bust cycles experienced by Washington’s economy in the latter half of the 20th century? Provide specific examples to explain.
The boom-and-bust cycles experienced by Washington’s economy in the latter half of the 20th century were largely a result of the state’s heavy reliance on extractive industries and its vulnerability to fluctuations in commodity prices. For example, the timber industry in the state experienced a significant bust in the 1980s due to unsustainable logging practices and increased regulation. Similarly, the decline of the aerospace industry in the 1990s led to a period of economic downturn until the rise of the tech industry in the early 2000s.
