The Great Depression began in October 1929 with the stock market crash, known as Black Tuesday. As stock prices dropped and people lost their investments, businesses began laying off workers due to overproduction, creating a vicious cycle where unemployed people had no money to spend. Bank failures further exacerbated the situation as banks ran out of money. President Hoover was blamed for not doing enough to solve the economic crisis. When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, he immediately began passing new laws and programs through his New Deal to provide relief, promote recovery, and reform the economy to prevent another depression through work and infrastructure projects, strengthening of the banking system, and regulation of Wall Street.

The Great Depression
The document discusses how Germany was affected by the Wall Street crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. It notes that Germany's economy was already weak before the crash due to short term loans. When the crash occurred, American bankers recalled loans to Germany, eliminating a key source of funds. This exacerbated Germany's economic woes, causing unemployment to rise sharply as businesses closed and exports declined drastically. The social and political impacts within Germany intensified as unemployment spread to workers across many industries. Economic hardship grew and discontent with the Weimar government increased.

The Great Depression
1929 - 1933
Introduction
In the late 1920s, the U.S. economy was strong. Many companies were growing and earning money. People bought shares of the companies, called stock. The stocks were traded and bought in the Stock Market.
On October 24, 1929, stock values dropped or became worthless rapidly. This started the most severe economic depression in U.S. history—the Great Depression. Today, that day is still remembered as Black Thursday.
Black Thursday
In the late 1920s, prices in the stock market soared up, becoming very valuable. For example, in 1928, the price of a common share of the Dupont stock went from $310 to $525 The rising stock values encouraged people to buy stocks in hope of making large profits when the stock exchange increased in the future. Even though experts predicted that the stock prices might fall, people didn’t listen. So many investors threw their money into the stock exchange that the plan backfired. Instead of increasing in value, the share prices crashed, becoming worthless. When the stock market crashed on Black Thursday millions of people lost all of their money.
Effects on People
The Great Depression affected not only the rich and middle class investors, but also the people who hadn't invested, as well. Banks and businesses had also bought stocks, and many lost so much money that they had to close. Between January 1930 and March 1933, about 9,000 banks failed. The bank failures wiped out the savings of millions of people.
Effects on Prices
All over the country, American families had nothing. They had no paying jobs and almost no money. Today, you probably think that 5 cents is nothing to pay for a loaf of bread, but during the hardest years of the depression you were lucky if you were able to buy a loaf of bread without selling something you already owned to raise enough money. Today, kids have houses full of toys. In 1932 you were considered very rich if you could afford a two-wheeled bike that cost $10.95. In fact, most kids didn't have any toys at all because their parents had to choose between whether to buy food or toys—they couldn’t buy both.
The Recovery
In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt beat Herbert Hoover in the presidential election. When the problem of the depression was brought to his attention, he went into action. In his inaugural address he said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!”
The New Deal
With this in people’s minds, he started the New Deal. The New Deal was a program that made laws to try to help America recover from the ongoing depression. The laws made by the New Deal had three main purposes. First, they provided relief for the needy. Second, they aided the recovery by providing jobs. Third, the laws tried to change business and government so that such a devastating depression would never happen in the U.S. again. Congress created several agencies to manage relief programs. For example, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) established in 1933, employed t ...
The Great Depression and the New Deal
The document describes how the stock market crash of 1929 led to a ripple effect that greatly exacerbated the Great Depression. It explains that risky loans hurt banks, businesses could no longer pay back loans when stocks fell, and consumers also could not repay loans. This led to bank runs and failures as unpaid loans accumulated. Savings were wiped out, businesses cut production, unemployment rose sharply, and poverty spread widely across America.
Hoover and the depression
Hoover initially thought the Depression was a minor recession and opposed direct relief efforts. His remedies included meeting with businessmen to maintain wages and prices, asking the Federal Reserve to make borrowing easier, and asking Congress to cut taxes. However, his policies provided little aid to lower and middle income groups. Hoover's popularity plummeted as economic indicators continued to decline. By 1932, events like the Bonus Army march damaged Hoover's reputation and he was defeated by Franklin Roosevelt.
The Great Depression 1929
The Great Depression (1929-39) was the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialized world. In the United States, the Great Depression began soon after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors. Over the next several years, consumer spending and investment dropped, causing steep declines in industrial output and rising levels of unemployment as failing companies laid off workers. By 1933, when the Great Depression reached its nadir, some 13 to 15 million Americans were unemployed and nearly half of the country’s banks had failed. Though the relief and reform measures put into place by President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped lessen the worst effects of the Great Depression in the 1930s, the economy would not fully turn around until after 1939, when World War II kicked American industry into high gear.

The agencies included the AAA to support farmers, the FERA to aid the homeless, the CWA and WPA to fund public works projects, and the PWA to fund large infrastructure projects to create jobs.

However, the stock market crash of 1929 and ensuing Great Depression proved this wrong. When FDR took office in 1933, he launched a New Deal program that dramatically expanded the role of the federal government through extensive public works projects and welfare programs.

Civics and economics final review
Here are the key points I would consider:
- Students have free speech rights, but schools also have authority over curriculum and activities that could disrupt education.
- The articles discuss sensitive topics and name other students without consent, which could violate privacy and cause harm.
- The principal could require removing names and work with students to address concerns while still publishing revised articles, balancing free expression and privacy.
- If agreement can't be reached, the principal has authority not to publish, though censoring due to just disagreement with views could be unconstitutional.
Overall, the situation requires balancing competing interests through respectful discussion to find an acceptable solution for all.

- 4. President Herbert Hoover (1929- 1933) Hoover blamed for many of the problems during the Depression. Hoovervilles, Hoover Blankets, Hoover Stew, Hoover Flags, etc… The Bonus Army
- 12. March 4, 1933 Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s inauguration as President “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” The “100 Days” refers to FDR’s first three months as President. FDR helps pass dozens of pieces of legislation (laws) to put people to work and strengthen the economy. The Bank Holiday-what was it?
- 13. The New Deal FDR’s plan to get the USA out of the Depression and ways to prevent future ones from happening. New Deal programs met one of three goals: Relief (immediate help/money in your pocket) Recovery (programs to strengthen the economy) Reform (programs to prevent future depressions—long lasting)
- 14. New Deal cont… Nicknamed “alphabet soup” because the programs are known by their initials (WPA, CCC, PWA, TVA, FDIC, AAA, etc…) FDR begins his fireside chats — radio speeches where he describes how things are going.
