War and the Stock Market

aei.org

"Stocks fell sharply as trading reopened this week. That was to be expected. The classic pattern in nearly all American traumas is for markets to drop swiftly,
continue to fall for a while, then recover powerfully.

For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.9 percent on the first trading day after the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and another 11
percent over the next four months. But the Dow returned 20 percent in 1942 and then doubled over the next three years. Similarly, stocks dropped 14 percent
in the two months after the Aug. 2, 1990, Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, then rallied 31 percent in 1991."
