Solution

The war that pulled the USA out of recession in 1950 was D. Korean War.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The Great Depression, which started in 1929, was a severe worldwide economic depression that lasted until the late 1930s. The USA was significantly affected by this.

  2. The Second World War (1939-1945) helped the USA recover from the Great Depression as the war efforts stimulated the economy. However, this war ended in 1945, five years before 1950.

  3. The Cold War (1947-1991) was a period of geopolitical tension between the USA and the Soviet Union and their respective allies. While it did lead to increased military spending, it was not a traditional war and thus did not have the same economic impact as other wars.

  4. The Korean War (1950-1953) began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea. The United Nations, with the USA as the principal force, came to the aid of South Korea. The increased military spending due to the Korean War helped stimulate the American economy and pull the USA out of the recession.

  5. The Vietnam War (1955-1975) also led to increased military spending, but it began after 1950.

So, the correct answer is D. Korean War.
