The Dust Bowl (1 gen 1930 anni – 1 gen 1940 anni)

Descrizione:

The Dust Bowl was a severe environmental disaster that occurred during the 1930s in the American Great Plains, caused by a combination of prolonged drought and decades of extensive farming without crop rotation, fallow fields, cover crops, or other soil conservation techniques. This catastrophic event led to massive dust storms that devastated agricultural production, displaced thousands of "Dust Bowl refugees," and intensified the economic impacts of the Great Depression by forcing families to abandon their farms and seek work and shelter elsewhere.
