The Great Depression
Throughout History
When it all began
The Great Depression was said to have started in the United States but soonly spread out to North America, Europe, and other areas of the world in 1929 and lasted until 1939. People said that it started thanks to a catastrophic collapse of stock-market prices on the New York Stock exchange.
The Dust Bowl
For years the American Plains where effected with droughts and large sizes of soil that where formed into dust and large dark clouds. Making life for farmers and resedence horible and having them to migrate to other places. Starting in 1930 to 1936.
A Slight Turn Around
An economic distress led to a presedential win for a Democrat by the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. After the election, Roosevelt made a number of changes in the American economy, he used the increased goverment regulation as also as massive public-works projects to push for a recovery. But all that effort really did'nt help much because soon they where back at square one.
