What happened to each of the losing states after World War I?
Great Depression: definition, causes, effects, and conclusion.
DEFINITION: In October 1929, the U.S. stock market crashed, ushering in a period of ten years characterized by high poverty and unemployment.
CAUSES:
1.) imbalance of food supply/demand (supply less than demand)
2.) risky lending on the part of brokerage firms - kept making risky loans to investors, so banks lost money, banks had to close, people had to lose their deposits
EFFECTS:
From 1929-1933, about 1/3 of all money that had existed in the United State had vanished; worldwide economic crisis
Roosevelt attempted to solve the Great Depression by the “New Deal” - massive government spending on job creation and welfare programs, which shifted the United States toward socialism. This only prolonged the crisis.
CONCLUSION:
World War II (1939) created a new worldwide demand for American-made goods.
Prices went up, and the economy recovered.
