Volkswagen was founded in 1934 by Ferdinand Porsche who received government funding to develop a "people's car". The first Volkswagen Beetle rolled off the assembly line in 1938. During World War 2, Volkswagen stopped production for civilian cars. After the war, the British helped restart Volkswagen's production and ordered 20,000 cars but decided not to take over the company believing it did not have a future. Between 1945-1950, Volkswagen's annual production increased from 20,000 to 230,000 cars. Volkswagen expanded globally by both acquiring other car companies and building its own production facilities.
