How did WW2 get the U.S.A out of the great depression?

by stupidcasey

I understand that more jobs equals more money for the people but it seems like spending money we don't have and sending it to Europe to be blew up would just make the issue worse, am I missing something or is all that was needed was for the U.S.A to print more money and give it to people?
