The document summarizes the key causes and events of the 1926 UK General Strike. The main causes were wage cuts and poor working conditions in industries like mining, as well as high unemployment and inflation affecting the working class. The strike had initial support but the Conservative government was well-prepared and maintained essential services. The strike ultimately failed as workers could not withstand financial hardship and the government used its control over media to undermine the unions. In the aftermath, many workers had to accept worse conditions and new laws restricted future union and strike abilities.

Britain between the wars
Politics in Britain between the wars saw a succession of Conservative and Labour governments, as well as the formation of a National Government in 1931 led by MacDonald in response to the Great Depression. The economy experienced a post-war boom followed by recession in the early 1920s, and a slow recovery in the later 1920s, before being severely impacted by the Great Depression with high unemployment. There was also a major General Strike in 1926 called by the TUC in support of coal miners, but it was called off after 8 days. Housing and education reforms were introduced but many were scaled back due to budget cuts.
PPT - Great Depression in Europe - IIA2
The Great Depression had severe economic effects across Europe and Australia in the 1930s. In the UK, industries and exports declined sharply after 1929. The UK abandoned the gold standard in 1931, devaluing the pound and boosting exports. High unemployment led the government to cut wages and spending. Rearmament from 1936 and Keynesian policies after WWII helped recovery. The Depression weakened democracies and strengthened fascist movements in Germany and Italy. Australia's export-reliant economy suffered badly with unemployment reaching 29% in 1932.
Stalin’s economic policies
Stalin implemented collectivization and five-year plans to rapidly industrialize and modernize the Soviet Union. Collectivization forced millions of peasants off their small farms and into large state-run collective farms, leading to widespread famine and millions of deaths, especially of wealthy landowners who resisted. The five-year plans set ambitious industrial production targets and saw massive growth in industries like steel, coal, and oil through concentrating on heavy industry and harnessing labor, but also resulted in poor work conditions and unrealistic demands that damaged workers. Both policies transformed the Soviet economy and society at enormous human cost.
Great Depression
The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression of the 20th century. The document lists several key causes of the Great Depression including the aftermath of World War I which left many European nations in large amounts of debt, as well as the stock market crash of 1929 in the United States where stock values plummeted. The effects of the Great Depression were felt worldwide and included high unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and a decline in production and economic activity across many nations such as Germany, England, France, and Sweden. The Depression had significant political impacts as well, contributing to the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany.
Financial crisis is 'man made catastrophe‘
The document discusses several financial crises throughout history including:
- The 1973 oil crisis caused by OPEC oil export restrictions which led to energy conservation policies.
- Hyperinflation in Germany after WWI due to the French invasion of the Ruhr and printing of extra banknotes to pay reparations. This caused people's pensions and savings to lose value.
- The 1998 Russian financial crisis caused by declining productivity, a fixed exchange rate, and falling oil prices which led to a political crisis and currency collapse.
- The 2007-2008 global financial crisis triggered by the bursting of the US housing bubble, subprime mortgage crisis, and failure/bailout of Lehman Brothers which caused a recession
Stock market crash
The document summarizes the causes and effects of the Stock Market Crash of 1929 that led to the Great Depression. It describes how rampant speculation in the roaring 1920s led to an unsustainable bubble. The crash was directly triggered when plans for the Smoot-Hawley Tariff act faced limitations, causing a panic on Black Thursday in October 1929 and a collapse of stock prices over the next few years. The crash had devastating economic effects worldwide and led to FDR's New Deal programs to stimulate recovery.
Stock Market Crash Of 1929
The stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Fueled by postwar economic growth and optimism, stock values increased dramatically during the 1920s as more Americans invested in the market. However, stock prices had become inflated and unsustainable. The market crashed on October 24, 1929, known as "Black Thursday", with stocks losing over 20% of their value. The full-scale panic set in on October 29th, "Black Tuesday", with over 16 million shares sold in a single day and stocks losing another 12% as the country plunged into the Great Depression. Unemployment rose sharply and economic output declined drastically over the next few years.

Great depression 08 20_51
The document provides details about the Great Depression that occurred from 1929 to the late 1930s. It describes how the stock market crash of 1929 led to widespread bank failures as people withdrew their deposits. This caused many businesses to cut wages or lay off workers, resulting in high unemployment. Some key effects included a 30% drop in GDP, mass unemployment, reduced industrial production and exports, and social impacts such as migration within the US. The Depression affected other countries globally due to reduced international trade and their dependence on exporting to the US and other nations.
The great depression
The Great Depression began with the stock market crash of 1929, known as "Black Tuesday". As stock prices plummeted, margin calls led to mass stock sales that flooded the market and caused prices to drop further in a panic. This collapse of the stock market was the beginning of the Great Depression. As banks had invested heavily in the stock market, many became unstable as people withdrew their money, leading to hundreds of bank failures across the country. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932 on a platform of recovery and reform with his New Deal programs. His administration created numerous agencies and public works programs to provide relief, recovery, and reform to address the economic crisis gripping the nation.

The peoples budget summary task sheet to go with aricle (1)
The People's Budget of 1909 proposed several new taxes on the wealthy to fund social welfare programs. This upset the Conservative peers in the House of Lords, who rejected the budget, causing a constitutional crisis. As a result, the Parliament Act of 1911 curtailed the powers of the Lords and allowed the budget to pass, weakening the power of hereditary peers in Britain's system of government going forward.
1929 Wall Street Crash
The document discusses the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. It describes how rampant speculation in the stock market led to a bubble that burst in October 1929, precipitating the Great Depression. As stock prices plummeted, banks collapsed and unemployment rose sharply. The crash had worldwide effects due to economic interdependence and protectionist policies. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 on a platform of reform with his New Deal programs, which helped regulate the economy and provide relief. World War II eventually pulled the US out of the Depression by stimulating industrial production. The crash demonstrated the need for government intervention to ensure stability.

The great depression
The Great Depression originated in the United States with the stock market crash of 1929 and became worldwide. Personal income, tax revenue, profits, and prices dropped sharply while unemployment rose to 25% in the US and 33% in some countries. Several factors contributed to the Great Depression, including the stock market crash, bank failures, reduction in purchasing, and American economic policies like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. The worldwide collapse had devastating social and economic impacts, including widespread homelessness, disease, and unemployment.
THE GREAT DEPRESSION BY RAVI TEJA GRADE IX
The Great Depression began in 1929 and ended in 1933. It was caused by the crashing of the Wall Street stock exchange in the US, which led to a fall in prices globally. During this period, unemployment rose drastically as businesses closed and workers lost their jobs. In Germany specifically, industrial production fell to only 40% of 1929 levels by 1932. Wages were reduced and unemployment increased to 6 million as the economy suffered greatly. The Great Depression finally ended when Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected US president in 1932. He introduced the New Deal program to create jobs and unemployment insurance, helping to stabilize the economy.

The Great Depression Solution
The document discusses the causes and end of the Great Depression in the United States. It describes the economic boom of the 1920s, the stock market crash of 1929, and President Roosevelt's New Deal programs of the 1930s, which aimed to revive the economy but ultimately failed to end the depression. Military spending during World War II reinvigorated industrial production and put many Americans back to work, fully ending the depression by 1941 when the U.S. entered the war.
The Great Depression - Presentation (Macroeconomics Perspective)
The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, originating in the United States. The document discusses several key causes and events of the Great Depression including the stock market crash of 1929, a decline in the money supply, policy decisions like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, and the effects of abandoning the gold standard. John Maynard Keynes advocated for policies like deficit spending to stimulate the economy in response to the Depression. Roosevelt's New Deal programs attempted to address unemployment and stabilize the banking system through acts like the National Industrial Recovery Act.
TRTroubles
The Troubles refers to the violent thirty-year conflict in Northern Ireland between nationalist Catholics who wanted to join the Republic of Ireland and unionist Protestants who wanted to remain in the United Kingdom. The conflict involved constant violence and tensions that extended beyond Northern Ireland. While not an official war, the extensive casualties, damage to towns, and British government investment made it resemble a real war. The violence escalated from disturbances until the Battle of Bogside in 1969 when the situation became uncontrolled. The conflict ended with the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 following the Omagh bombing that killed 29 people in the worst attack of the Troubles.
Low Soo Peng Economy in Britain
The UK was the first to industrialize during the 18th century industrial revolution. As a trading nation with limited domestic markets and resources, it relies heavily on exports and imports. While the UK pioneered industrialization, by the early 20th century its economy experienced both absolute and relative decline as other nations like the US and Germany industrialized. Recent economic history saw mixed success from Margaret Thatcher's privatization policies in the 1970-80s and engagement with institutions like the IMF. Today the UK has a service-based economy, with sectors like aerospace and banking remaining important.
Churchill generalstrike
Miners in Britain went on strike in 1926 due to declining wages as the economy entered depression, dropping from an average of £6 per week to £3.90 in 7 years. Talks between the government and striking miners collapsed, leading the TUC to call a general strike in May 1926, with between 1.5-1.75 million workers striking. The strike took a political stance as Churchill denounced the strikers as revolutionaries in a new newspaper he opened called The British Gazette, while Baldwin commented it challenged parliament and risked anarchy.
Causes of the great depression
The document summarizes several key causes of the Great Depression:
1) After WWI, European nations owed huge debts from the war to the US but lacked wealth to repay. The US encouraged credit expansion, making repayments reliant on the US economy.
2) In the 1920s, low interest rates and widespread availability of credit fueled overproduction, risky investments, and consumer debt.
3) The stock market crash of 1929 exposed the debt problems and wiped out many individuals' savings, severely reducing consumer spending and demand. The passage of restrictive tariffs in 1930 further damaged global trade and the economy.

Privatization (sajjad)
The document discusses the privatization of several British industries including British Airways, the water industry, British Petroleum, and electricity supply. It provides details on the reasons for privatization, the effects before and after privatization, and historical background. The key points are:
1) Industries like British Airways, water, and electricity were nationalized but privatized in the 1980s-1990s due to reasons like improving efficiency, raising money, and increasing productivity which had declined in nationalized industries.
2) Privatization led to initial rises in prices, profits, and executive pay but longer term impacts included increased investment, employment cuts, and varied effects on services and environmental standards depending on the industry.
The Great Depression
The document summarizes the key events and factors that led to the Great Depression:
1) Many industries and the agricultural sector were struggling in the 1920s due to overproduction and new competition.
2) The stock market crash of 1929 signaled the beginning of the Great Depression as banks collapsed and businesses failed.
3) Millions lost their jobs and homes, leading to immense hardship, suffering, and the formation of shantytowns across the country. President Hoover initially believed the economy would recover on its own, but his limited interventions were unsuccessful in alleviating the crisis.
Ch. 21 Section 1 Notes
1. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the late 1700s due to factors like its colonial resources, strong navy, waterways for transportation, large labor force, and coal/iron deposits.
2. The textile industry transformed from cottage production to factory production through inventions like the spinning jenny, flying shuttle, and water frame, powered by water wheels.
3. Steam power, pioneered by James Watt's improvements to the steam engine, allowed factories to operate away from waterways and accelerated industrialization through applications in mills, locomotives, and ships. Industrialization then spread from Britain to Western Europe and the United States in the early 1800s.
The Great Depression
The Great Depression document summarizes the key effects and consequences of the Great Depression in the United States during the 1930s. It had severe negative impacts on industry, farming, and ordinary lives. Unemployment rose dramatically to over 25% while personal income declined by 32%. Hoover attempted several policies and programs to address the Depression, but they were often too small in scale or inconsistent and failed to alleviate the crisis. Historians have differing views on what caused the Depression, but many fault Hoover for not doing more to reform the financial system or provide sufficient relief efforts.
08 multinational corporations
This lecture discusses the history and operations of multinational corporations (MNCs). It explains that MNCs first emerged to facilitate long-distance trade in the early modern period. Major modern MNCs operate across a wide range of industries from extraction and manufacturing to services. While MNCs can stimulate economic development and job creation, they also wield significant power over governments and influence policies. The case study of Shell in Nigeria illustrates how MNC activities have negatively impacted local environments and communities in the Niger Delta region through oil spills, pollution, and suppression of dissent.
The great depression
The Great Depression was a global economic slowdown that began in 1929 and lasted until 1941. It started in the United States after the stock market crash of 1929 and became worldwide. Global GDP fell by 15% and unemployment rose as high as 33% in some countries. The New Deal policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s helped spur economic recovery in the U.S., while World War II ultimately ended the Depression worldwide by increasing spending and demand.
Chp. 22 depression begins 3
1) Three areas of the economy began to struggle at the end of the 1920s - industry, agriculture, and the consumer market. Failures in these sectors led to high unemployment, business failures, and economic downturn.
2) In agriculture, farming income declined sharply after WWI as demand fell, and many farmers took on debt and lost their farms in the 1920s recession.
3) In industry, sectors like coal, steel, and railroads declined as new technologies like airplanes and automobiles grew. Housing construction also slowed, hurting related industries. Unequal wealth distribution and consumer debt further weakened the economy.
US Steel Industry
The US steel industry has existed since the 19th century and consolidated in the early 20th century with the formation of large companies. Protectionist policies were implemented during the 1930s and 1940s, including price fixing and tariffs. The industry transitioned from open hearth furnaces to more efficient basic oxygen and electric arc furnaces. In the late 20th century, the industry faced increased global competition and overcapacity. In the early 2000s, the US government imposed section 201 tariffs on steel imports to protect domestic producers, but this was ruled to violate international trade rules by the WTO. The tariffs were eventually lifted to avoid a trade war, despite domestic criticism. The US steel industry continues to face challenges from rising
PPT - The Great Depression - IIB1
The Great Depression began after a period of economic optimism and growth in the US following WWI. Farmers faced particular hardship as they struggled with debt. The stock market crash of October 1929, known as "Black Tuesday", marked the start of the Depression. As stock prices fell and banks closed, businesses laid off many workers, leaving 1 in 4 Americans unemployed by 1932. Years of drought in the 1930s caused the Dust Bowl, exacerbating farmers' struggles. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and his New Deal programs, including the AAA, NIRA, and FERA, aimed to stimulate the economy and provide relief. World War II increased government spending and ultimately helped end the Depression by the late 1930s and early 1940s
The 1920s Economy
The 1920s US economy saw high tariffs that boosted domestic industry but hurt farmers and trade, while tax cuts primarily benefited the wealthy. Regulations were reduced and businesses fixed prices. New technologies like the automobile and mass production grew industries and employment. However, easy credit, real estate speculation, and rampant stock market speculation built instability and left many in debt.
Unit 1 the great depression pp notes
The document provides information about the causes and effects of the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. It discusses how overspeculation in the stock market, uneven distribution of wealth, excessive credit use, a weak farm economy, and global economic problems led to the crash. When stock prices plummeted, investors lost money, businesses lost profits, consumer spending dropped, workers were laid off, banks failed, and the US and world economies declined severely, resulting in high unemployment and poverty throughout the 1930s. The election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 represented a turning point, as he promised a "New Deal" with more government intervention to address the hardships of the Depression.
Depression
The document provides an overview of the Great Depression and the New Deal. It discusses the economic crisis of the 1920s that led to the Depression, including falling farm prices, overproduction, and rising debt. The magnitude of the Depression is examined through statistics on business/bank failures, unemployment, homelessness, and malnutrition. The document also summarizes Hoover's unsuccessful policies and FDR's New Deal programs in the "100 Days" to provide relief through jobs, agriculture supports, and public works projects. The immediate impact and legacy of expanding the role of government are discussed.
Merger waves
There have been 6 waves of mergers since 1898. The first wave from 1898-1902 involved horizontal mergers that led to monopolies in industries like oil, mining, and steel. The second wave from 1916-1929 featured vertical integrations that created oligopolies, especially in food, paper, and iron. The third wave from 1965-1969 saw diversified conglomerate mergers until an economic recession slowed activity. The fourth wave from 1981-1989 was defined by hostile takeovers and larger deals financed by debt. The fifth wave from 1992-2000 included mega cross-border mergers enabled by deregulation and globalization. The sixth wave since 2003 has been characterized by shareholder activism, private equity, and leveraged buyouts, with
The spirit of 1945
The UK industry was state controlled during WWII to meet basic population needs and support the war effort. This continued after the war, with key industries like coal, utilities and steel being nationalized. Nationalization provided subsidized materials and infrastructure, allowing UK industry to produce 25% of global goods by 1952. However, declining investment and rising wages abroad caused UK's share to fall to 2.9% by 2009. The document discusses alternatives to privatization, including rebuilding UK industry through public investment and ownership to serve common needs.
Week two industry
The industrialization of the United States in the late 1800s led to rapid growth in key industries like steel, oil, and railroads. Large corporations and industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller exploited resources and workers to build vast fortunes, transforming the US into an economic powerhouse but also causing clashes with labor unions fighting for better conditions. As big business boomed, workers faced long hours, low pay, and unsafe conditions, leading some to support socialism or join unions like the Knights of Labor in efforts to gain rights and reforms.
Week two industry
The industrialization of the United States in the late 1800s led to rapid growth in key industries like steel, oil, and railroads. Large corporations and industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller exploited workers and natural resources to build vast fortunes. While industrialization increased productivity and consumer goods, it also led to long work days for low pay in unsafe conditions. Unions like the Knights of Labor and AFL organized to advocate for workers' rights, but faced violent opposition from businesses and government. Overall, rapid industrialization transformed the US economy but also exacerbated tensions between big business and labor.
Industrial and agricultural problems of the nep
The document discusses the New Economic Policy (NEP) implemented in the Soviet Union in the 1920s as an emergency measure to rescue the struggling economy. The NEP allowed some private enterprise in agriculture and small-scale industry while larger enterprises remained state-controlled. However, the NEP faced criticism from more ideologically driven Communists as it permitted profit-seeking and economic inequality, and it did not fully revive industrial production or resolve issues in the agricultural sector.
Sectorsofproduction1 (1)
This document discusses the three sectors of production: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary sector involves extracting or growing natural resources. The secondary sector involves manufacturing goods from raw materials or capital goods. The tertiary sector provides services to businesses and consumers. Over time, employment has shifted from the primary and secondary sectors to the tertiary sector as consumer demand and technology have changed how businesses operate.

The Consequences • Men who supported yung families were forced back into work due to hardships • The majority of miners were back in work by November • Many unemployed who got back into work had to accept longer hours with lower wages • The 1927 Trade Disputes and Trade Union act was passed, which made all sympathetic strikes ILLEGAL, FORBADE civil service unions affiliating with the TUC.
