20s And Depression (jan 1, 1920 – oct 29, 1940)
Description:
10 years after the 19th Amendment was adapted, the great depression started in 1929 with a stock market crash. The Great Depression had devastating effects in countries both rich and poor. The personal income of citizens, tax revenue, profits and prices dropped, while international trade plunged by more than 50%. The Great Depression ended 10 years later in 1939, which is the same year WW2 began when Germany invaded Poland, which led Britain and France to declare war on Hitler's Nazi state in retaliation. World War 2 included anywhere between 50-85 million fatalities, and the Nazi army alone were the cause of the death of half of the Jewish population in Europe.
