what was Great Depression?

Answer 1

✨GREAT DEPRESSION:

⬛The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in the US history. It began in 1929 and did not subside until the end of the 1930's.

⬛The stock market crash of October 1929 signaled the beginning of the Great Depression. By 1933, unemployment was at 25 percent and more than 5,000 banks had gone out of business.

⬛Although President Herbert Hoover attempted to spark growth in the economy through measures like the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, these measures did little to solve the crisis.

⬛Franklin Roosevelt was elected president in November 1932. Inaugurated as president in March 1933, Roosevelt’s New Deal offered a new approach to the Great Depression.
