American tariff policy in the 1920s raised tariffs significantly in order to protect domestic industries from foreign competition as Europe worked to repay war debts. However, the high tariffs made it difficult for European nations to export goods and earn money to repay debts. As reparation payments became due and exports declined due to American tariffs, Germany faced high inflation. The Dawes Plan rescheduled Germany's repayments, but when the stock market crashed in 1929, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff further restricted trade and exacerbated the Great Depression.

History #84 and 85
After World War I, the American government adopted tariff and debt repayment policies to try to rebuild the economy. The tariffs raised prices on imported goods to benefit domestic industries. The government also forced allies like France and Britain to repay war debts, which created tensions. However, these policies did not prevent the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, which was largely caused by an unstable stock market and overproduction. Herbert Hoover was elected in 1928 due to optimism about the economy and his image as a self-made man, but many of the underlying economic issues remained.
A Republican Decade (1920s)
The Red Scare of the early 1920s was fueled by labor strikes, anarchist bombings, and fears that communism from the new Soviet Union would spread to the United States. Attorney General Palmer ordered raids in 1920 that arrested thousands of suspected radicals, mostly immigrants, without evidence to try to root out communist influence. Major labor strikes in 1919 were a result of high costs of living and poor working conditions after World War 1. Under Republican presidents Harding and Coolidge, the 1920s saw tax cuts, high tariffs, laissez-faire policies toward business, and restrictions on immigration. Cultural issues like Prohibition, Catholicism, and urban vs rural divides influenced the election of 1928.
Civics8 1919 1932-v07
After World War I, the US economy experienced a recession from 1919-1921 as veterans returned home and an influenza pandemic hit. The 1920s saw social and cultural changes like women's suffrage and Prohibition, but also violence like the Sacco and Vanzetti case and Wall Street bombing. The stock market crashed in 1929, plunging the US into the Great Depression. President Hoover initially responded through public works projects and urging cooperation from business leaders, but unemployment rose sharply. By 1932, Hoover had lost public support and Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected promising a new approach.
1920s Postwar Havoc
After World War I, Europe and the United States faced political, economic, and social upheaval. In Europe, monarchies were overthrown as new ideologies like communism rose. Economies were devastated and reparations further burdened Germany. The U.S. experienced an economic boom but also struggled with returning soldiers, labor issues, and intolerance as patriotism and "100% Americanism" grew. Americans feared the spread of communism and the Palmer Raids arrested thousands of suspected radicals intensifying the First Red Scare. Large strikes in 1919 damaged unions' reputation amid nativism and immigration restrictions passed in the 1920s.
Economic History Of The United States

How did George Washington’s Presidency shape the American government?
George Washington's presidency shaped the American government by establishing important precedents. He oversaw the growth of the Supreme Court and cabinet, helped create the federal court system and establish Washington D.C. as the capital. His presidency also saw the rise of the first political parties, the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, and the establishment of a national bank. Washington declared U.S. neutrality in foreign conflicts but faced domestic challenges like the Whiskey Rebellion, demonstrating the power of the federal government.
George Washington Presidency
George Washington established the first Cabinet departments - State, War, and Treasury - and their heads became known as the President's Cabinet. His administration faced economic challenges following the Revolutionary War, which Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton addressed through his plan involving paying off debts, establishing the Bank of the United States, and enacting tariffs, which sparked conflict between Hamilton and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. Washington also dealt with the Whiskey Rebellion against a liquor tax and conflicts in the Northwest Territory over Native American land.

This document discusses several key events and issues in early American history:
1) Alexander Hamilton created a national bank to help repay war debts and encourage economic growth.
2) The Whiskey Rebellion showed that the new government would act to quell domestic protests, such as when George Washington sent troops to stop a tax rebellion.
3) During the French Revolution, the U.S. aimed to remain neutral but was outraged by a bribe offer from France, refusing to pay foreign nations.
4) The War of 1812 and Monroe Doctrine helped unite the country and secure independence for Latin American nations from European interference.

1920s
During the 1920s in the US, there was a Red Scare where many associated immigrants with radical ideologies. The KKK membership grew targeting minorities and immigrants. Two quota acts were passed limiting immigration and banning Asians. The US also pursued isolationist and pro-business economic policies with limited regulation and tariffs that decreased trade.
Soc studies #19 gw2 revolutions, treaties, and rebellions
The French Revolution began in 1789, overthrowing the French monarchy and establishing a republic. This led France to go to war with Great Britain in 1793, dividing Americans on whether to support France or remain neutral. Wanting neutrality, President Washington issued a proclamation of neutrality. Meanwhile, the Whiskey Rebellion broke out as farmers protested a new tax on whiskey. Washington led troops to suppress the rebellion, restoring order.
Populism Continued Vargas Web
Between 1889 and 1930, Brazil experienced significant political and economic instability due to its total dependency on coffee exports. The Great Depression had a major impact on Brazil's economy, with coffee prices falling and external debt reaching 1.3 billion. In 1930, Getulio Vargas came to power through a bloodless coup, establishing an authoritarian regime called the Estado Novo and prioritizing industrialization. Vargas ruled as a dictator from 1937 to 1945, repressing opposition and censorship. Though Brazil declared war on Germany in 1942, Vargas ensured the US had control over the military to focus on industrial growth aided by US investment during World War 2.

28-3 Powerpoint: US Economic Imperialism in Latin America
1. After gaining independence in the early 1800s, many Latin American countries struggled with poverty, political instability, and dependence on foreign nations for economic investments.
2. The U.S. came to dominate affairs in Latin America through policies like the Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary, which allowed them to intervene militarily.
3. Under foreign influence, Latin American economies grew through increased exports but industrial development was limited and debt to wealthy nations drained their economies. The U.S. built the Panama Canal to further their economic and strategic interests in the region.
Politics of Boom and Bust
The 1920s were a reaction against the progressive era in several ways. Politically, the 1920s saw a turn toward conservatism as the government took a more hands-off approach to regulating business. Socially, there was a push for isolationism in foreign policy and restrictions on immigration. Economically, the period was defined by prosperity as businesses flourished amid low regulation, rising tariffs protected American industries, and mass consumption became possible through installment plans and the growing use of credit. However, this period of prosperity contained signs of trouble as income inequality grew and American farmers and some industries struggled with debt.

Chapter 21: Politics and Prosperity
The document provides an overview of key events and developments in the United States during the 1920s. It discusses the Red Scare following WWI and fears of communism. Labor strikes in 1919 are mentioned. Republican presidents Harding and Coolidge pursued pro-business policies and isolationism in foreign policy. The 1920s saw rapid economic growth fueled by a consumer economy, mass production techniques like the assembly line, and the rise of the automobile industry. However, some groups like farmers and laborers did not share equally in prosperity. The stock market boom raised confidence but also signs of potential danger in an unstable economy emerged as the decade ended.
War On The Home Front
The United States mobilized its economy and public opinion to enter World War I, converting factories to war production, running railroads as a single industry, and creating new job opportunities that supported the war effort while providing some economic gains. The government established agencies like the War Industries Board, Railroad Administration, Food Administration, and Committee for Public Information to oversee the war production, ration food, raise money, and use propaganda to sell the war to the American public.
Washington's Presidency
George Washington served as the first President of the United States and helped establish the structure and powers of the executive branch. He appointed the first Cabinet, including Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of Treasury and Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed over the interpretation of Congressional authority, with Hamilton favoring a loose interpretation allowing more federal power and Jefferson preferring a strict interpretation reserving more powers for states. Washington's presidency established many precedents and saw the emergence of the first political parties in the United States.

As president, Roosevelt introduced the New Deal which aimed to decrease unemployment and strengthen the economy through programs like the Fair Labor Standards Act and Agricultural Adjustment Act. Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933 after serving in World War I. When he came to power, unemployment in Germany was almost 30%. Hitler instituted programs like Strength through Joy to provide workers with vacations and culture. This helped boost the German economy and brought full employment, which Hitler used to justify the rearming of Germany and pursuit of world domination.

interpretation_of_probability
This document discusses different interpretations of probability as they relate to statistical mechanics. It begins by introducing objective and subjective interpretations of probability. Objectively, probabilities can be viewed as physical properties (propensity interpretation) or as long-run relative frequencies (frequency interpretation). Subjectively, probabilities represent a personal belief or degree of credibility based on available information.
The document then focuses on objective interpretations. It discusses issues with applying the propensity interpretation to deterministic systems like those studied in statistical mechanics. It presents the frequency interpretation applied to statistical mechanics, where probabilities are defined over ensembles of identically prepared systems. For a system in equilibrium, the probability distribution should be nearly constant over time to match the constancy of observable properties.

This chapter introduces the book and discusses the importance of managing operational risk in today's financial markets. It notes that globalization, technology advances, and industry consolidation have accelerated changes and increased competitive pressures. Effective risk management, including managing operational risk, is critical for financial institutions to deal with this challenging environment. The chapter traces the development of derivatives markets and risk management practices. It argues that as financial institutions become more integrated, decentralized, and technology-driven, managing operational and other non-market risks on an enterprise-wide basis is fundamental to their successful operations. Recent high-profile losses have highlighted the need to broaden risk management beyond just market and credit risks.

Mark Zuckerberg's vision for Facebook was to create a more open and transparent world by allowing people to freely share information and access information from others. However, some argue that increased openness and data collection could lead society towards increased surveillance if taken to an extreme. Facebook has faced security issues with hackers targeting users' data, so users must be aware of privacy settings to control what information is shared and with whom to avoid oversharing or embarrassment. While Facebook allows users to connect with others, it is ultimately a business that earns money through advertisements targeted using users' shared data and interests.

UNIT 5-GREAT DEPRESSION OF 1929 AND THE NEW DEAL
The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in US history. It began in 1929 and did not abate until the end of the 1930s. 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.
Great Depression Slide-Doc
The document summarizes the effects of demobilization after World War I, including mass unemployment as industry production levels dropped and soldiers returned home. It led to a recession from 1920-1921 as demand increased for previously rationed goods while supply remained low. Farmers also struggled as overseas markets rebuilt after the war. The policies of Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover generally favored businesses and a hands-off economic approach. The Great Depression began after the 1929 stock market crash. President Roosevelt launched New Deal programs to provide relief, reform, and recovery through programs like the CCC, WPA, AAA, and Social Security. His policies aimed to stabilize the economy and banking system in his first 100 days in office and faced

The document provides historical context on the Republican resurgence and decline from the 1920s leading up to the Great Depression. It discusses the economic policies of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover which focused on tax cuts, deregulation, and high tariffs. These supply-side policies led to speculation and an unsustainable bubble. The stock market crash of 1929 exposed structural problems and the economy collapsed, deepened by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff and Hoover's adherence to the gold standard. By 1932, 13 million Americans were unemployed as Hoover's efforts proved too little too late.
Chapter 22: The Crash and Depression

The 1932 election was a turning point as FDR promised a "New Deal" with a larger federal role, defeating Hoover who believed the government should not intervene in the economy.
Herbert hoover
Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933 during the Great Depression. As Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s, he introduced Progressive Era themes of efficiency in business and provided support for international trade and standardization. As president, his programs were overwhelmed by the Great Depression, which continued to worsen each year despite his large-scale interventions in the economy. Hoover had previously built a reputation for his humanitarian relief efforts during and after World War I and as a businessman focused on efficiency and eliminating waste as Secretary of Commerce from 1921 to 1928.

T
he 1920s was a decade fi lled with
sharp contrasts — between Prohibi-
tion laws and speakeasy nightclubs,
modern science and fundamentalist reli-
gion, economic boom and fi nancial bust,
popular heroes and social villains. Charles
Lindbergh was one of the heroes. In May
1927, Lindbergh fl ew his small, single-
engine plane, The Spirit of St. Louis, from
New York to Paris, a distance of 3,620 miles.
He did it alone and without stopping — a
tense journey that stretched over 33 hours.
Nobody had ever done this before. Return-
ing home to tickertape parades, Lindbergh
became Time magazine’s fi rst Man of the
Year in 1928. The handsome young aviator
captivated the nation by combining exper-
tise in modern technology with the tradi-
tional virtues of hard work and individual
achievement. Amid the grinding routine of modern industrial life, Lindbergh showed that
an adventurous individual could make a difference.
Samuel Insull taught Americans the same lesson — with a twist. A fi nancial entre-
preneur who was more important than Lindbergh and almost as well known, Insull
began the decade as a hero and ended it as a villain. Insull was born in England and
came to New York as the personal secretary to the great inventor Thomas Edison. In
1892, he moved to Chicago, where he built a small electrical power company into a
giant enterprise. By 1907, Insull’s Commonwealth Edison Company was providing
electrical power for the entire city; by 1924, his Chicago Rapid Transit Company was
offering transportation to many of its residents as well. At the peak of his power in
1929, Insull controlled electric utility companies in 5,000 communities in thirty-two
states. To assemble this utility empire, Insull used the tools of modern capitalism: He
[Growing up, I never]
thought of myself as an
American. I came from
Brooklyn, and in Brooklyn
there were no Americans;
there were Jews and
Negroes and Italians
and Poles and Irishmen.
Americans lived in New
England, in the South, in
the Midwest: alien people

A.p. ch 33 pt. 2
Herbert Hoover was nominated by the Republican party for president in 1928 after President Coolidge decided not to run for re-election. Hoover defeated Democrat Alfred Smith in a landslide victory, becoming the first Republican since the 1920 election to carry a state that had seceded. As the new president, Hoover aimed to help struggling farmers and wage earners through programs like the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1929, but his high tariff policies, like the Hawley-Smoot Tariff of 1930, ultimately harmed the economy.
Chapter 12 RG
Herbert Hoover initially believed the government should not interfere with the business cycle, but later adopted a policy of volunteerism that failed to alleviate the Depression. This involved asking businesses not to cut wages or prices, and for tax cuts, interest rate reductions, and public works projects. However, businesses continued to lay off workers as towns and states lacked resources. Hoover then tried trickle-down economics through loans to banks to lend to businesses, but businesses did not always use loans to hire workers. Construction of Hoover Dam provided jobs in the Southwest. Growing unhappy with Hoover's response, unemployed World War I veterans marched in protest but riots led to the army attacking the protesters, further angering Americans and dooming Hoover's reelection chances.
The Great Depression
The document provides background information on the Great Depression in the United States during the late 1920s and early 1930s. It discusses how the stock market crash of 1929 led to widespread bank failures and economic collapse. Unemployment rose dramatically to around 25% as many sectors of the economy struggled. President Hoover initially took a cautious approach, relying on volunteerism and loans to stimulate the economy, but these measures failed to alleviate the crisis. By 1932, Hoover had lost public confidence as millions suffered from poverty and hunger during the onset of the Great Depression.

It describes how Jim Crow laws led to the creation of two separate societies - one black and one white - and denied black people basic rights and access to public facilities. It also provides context on how the Jim Crow system was eventually dismantled in the 1950s and 1960s through civil rights legislation and Supreme Court rulings like Brown v. Board of Education.
What’s your question2
The document discusses why the United States did not join the League of Nations after World War I. Henry Cabot Lodge and other Republicans opposed U.S. membership due to concerns that Article X of the League charter would require the U.S. to take military action according to the League's decisions without regard for American interests. While Woodrow Wilson strongly advocated for the League and American involvement after winning the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize, the Republican-controlled Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles that established the League. As a result, the U.S. remained outside of the League when it began operations after World War I.

The document summarizes the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists convicted of murder in Massachusetts in 1920. The trial occurred during the postwar Red Scare period of anti-immigrant and anti-radical sentiment. Sacco and Vanzetti claimed innocence but were unable to provide solid alibis and were in possession of guns. Despite a lack of concrete evidence, they were found guilty and sentenced to death, which intensified worldwide protests over their possible wrongful conviction due to biases against their ethnicity and politics.

From the book of history economy I have learnt about the economic situations in America and among them the most devastating was Great Depression. In the year March 1930 when Herbert Hoover was president when the Great Depression started. The main problem was to the farmers who suffered the heavy prices and indebtedness. There was a decline in the economic activity. There was also the crash in stock market, banking crisis also existed and also smooth Hawley tariff came into existence. He proclaimed in that the U.S. Had "passed the most noticeably awful" and contended that the economy would get itself straightened out. The most noticeably bad had started and it endured till the flare-up of World War II in 1939.There are a few reasons for the Great Depression which are generally bantered about. There was no single reason, however a few things conflicted with to get it going. Few noteworthy reasons were a feeble saving money framework because of Federal Reserve Monetary Policy, over creation of merchandise in industry and agribusiness, over spending and blasting credit gurgled, unequal circulation of riches, high duties and war obligations.

It was noted that The Wall Street Crashed in 1929 was the most devastating crash in the history of the United States. On October 1929 is called “Black Tuesday.” the stock market lost $14 billion, making the loss for that week an astounding $30 billion. It took 23 years for the stock market to hit the high it was at before the crash.

People who lost their homes often lived in what were called “Hoovervilles” or shanty towns that were named after President Herbert Hoover. There was also “Hoover Stew” which was the name for food handed out to the poor at soup kitchens. “Hoover Blankets” were the newspapers that were being used to cover people like a blanket. “Hoover Hogs” were jack rabbits that were used for food, and “Hoover Wagons” were broken down cars that were pulled by mules. People who became homeless would ride on railroad cars, because they didn’t had money to travel. It is believed that more than 50,000 people were injured or killed while jumping trains.

Hogan's History- Great Depression & the New Deal
Herbert Hoover became president in 1929 as the stock market was collapsing, marking the beginning of the Great Depression. Hoover opposed large-scale government intervention but massive unemployment and poverty overwhelmed the country. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932, promising a New Deal program of relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal included programs like the CCC, AAA, FDIC, SEC, and Social Security to provide jobs, stabilize agriculture and banking, and establish a social safety net. While controversial, the New Deal helped lift the US economy and established greater government responsibility for the welfare of citizens.
His 122 ch 26 republican resurgence and decline
The document summarizes Republican resurgence and decline in the 1920s. It discusses Warren G. Harding's election in 1920 on a platform of "return to normalcy" after WWI. His administration cut taxes and regulation but was plagued by corruption scandals. The economy boomed in the 1920s until the stock market crash of 1929, which deepened the Depression under Herbert Hoover's administration. High tariffs and tight money supply worsened the economic crisis.
Comparitive history part2
The document compares the leadership approaches of FDR and Hitler during the Great Depression. Both came to power appealing to unemployed masses and implemented work programs to curb civil unrest. They centralized control over industries and wages. While FDR taxed businesses for new programs, Hitler banned farm sales and transfers. Both leaders relied heavily on propaganda to consolidate power and promote a sense of crisis and national interest to justify their means. The document suggests Hitler closely studied and emulated FDR's policies and communications strategies during this period.
