Detailed explanation-1: -The total value of U.S. exports grew from $2.4 billion in 1913 to $6.2 billion in 1917.

Detailed explanation-2: -The United States suffered a moderate economic recession from 1918 to 1919, but a mild rebound in the second half of 1919. The United States endured a more serious recession in 1920 and 1921, when the global economy collapsed.
