Great Depression (1 ottob 1929 anni – 31 dic 1939 anni)
Descrizione:
Lasting from the stock market crash of 1929 through 1939, the great depression was the single worst economic crisis in the history of the industrial world. As consumer spending dropped so did industrial output causing the loss of jobs and a reduction of wages for those that did have work. Severe drought also devastated the agricultural production limiting food supply and many farmers migrated to urban areas to find work adding to the pool of unemployed.
