The greatdepression
The document discusses the causes and effects of the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. It led to widespread unemployment and economic hardship as businesses cut production and laid off workers. The New Deal programs that began under President Franklin D.

The greatdepression
The document provides background information on the Great Depression and the stock market crash of 1929. It discusses key terms, events, causes and effects of the period. Specifically, it outlines how speculation in the stock market led to inflated stock prices that eventually crashed in October 1929. This crash had widespread effects, causing banks to fail, businesses to cut production and lay off workers, and unemployment to rise sharply. Together these events marked the beginning of the Great Depression, a severe worldwide economic downturn that lasted through the 1930s.
Crash And Depression
The document summarizes the events of the Great Depression in the United States beginning with the stock market crash of 1929 known as Black Tuesday. It describes how the stock market crash severely impacted stock prices and wiped out the savings of many Americans. This led to rising unemployment, peaking at 25%, and widespread economic hardship. Farmers and factory workers were especially hurt. The crash had international implications exacerbating economic issues in Europe and contributing to the rise of Hitler in Germany. Throughout the 1930s, many Americans struggled with poverty, homelessness, and joblessness as the Depression continued. Minority groups and women faced additional discrimination and difficulties finding work. The document outlines some of Hoover and FDR's responses to the crisis as well as cultural aspects
Georgia's Transportation Systems
The document discusses the history and development of transportation systems in Georgia, including:
- The interstate highway system which began in 1956 and was inspired by the autobahns Eisenhower saw in Germany. It includes over 1,200 miles of interstates and helps connect cities and drive the state's economy.
- Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which was a significant economic driver for Georgia and now one of the world's busiest. It employs over 55,000 people and generates billions for the state's economy.
- The port cities of Savannah and Brunswick, with the earliest exports being silk and then cotton. The Georgia Ports Authority now oversees deepwater ports and supports international trade.
Great Dep Pres
The Great Depression began with the stock market crash of 1929 and led to a decade of high unemployment, poverty, and low profits. Farmers and industries like construction struggled as people had little money. The federal government's response, like raising tariffs, made the economic situation worse. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal aimed to aid farmers and unions. The stock market crash was caused by widespread speculation, a weak economy, and declining international trade after World War I. The crash led to bank failures that wiped out savings and reduced consumer spending, deepening the Depression for many years.
The Great Depression
This is a PowerPoint presentation on the Great Depression which I use to teach the subject to my classes. This will help show you I am quite adept on using the program and conducting research to create visually appealing presentations.

The 1950s (Post War Economy, Truman's Fair Deal, Technology, Suburbia)
The 1950s saw a period of strong economic growth and expansion in the United States following World War II. Industrial production switched from military to consumer goods, increasing the gross national product and per capita income. Suburbs grew rapidly driven by the postwar baby boom and availability of affordable housing and cars. New technologies like television and computers entered homes, while medical advances eradicated polio and improved heart surgeries.
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.
The global media giants
The global media system is now dominated by around 50 giant firms, with the top 9 firms thoroughly dominating many sectors of film, TV, publishing, and music production. These firms are highly concentrated and engage in joint ventures that reduce competition. The system promotes commercial values over quality journalism or cultural diversity. It privileges genres like sports and entertainment that are lucrative for advertising over other types of content. This concentration of media power threatens democracy, yet it occurred with little public debate.

- It also discusses the political corruption at this time, as well as reforms during the Great Depression like the New Deal programs which aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform.
- The growth of the automobile industry in the 1920s accelerated suburban expansion as people could commute into cities more easily.
History revision paper 2
The Great Depression began after the stock market crash of 1929 and devastated the US economy. Unemployment rose sharply as industrial production and GDP declined substantially. In response, President Roosevelt introduced his New Deal programs in the 1930s, which aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform. This included the establishment of numerous alphabet agencies to stimulate the economy through public works projects, regulate banking and Wall Street, and provide welfare. However, the Supreme Court opposed some agencies as unconstitutional attempts to extend federal power.

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.

Ch. 7-8
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, cities in the United States grew rapidly due to large numbers of immigrants and migrants from rural areas. This caused overcrowding and poor living conditions in cities. Problems included cramped housing known as tenements, lack of transportation and sanitation infrastructure, disease outbreaks, high crime rates, and poverty. In response, cities implemented reforms such as building codes, water treatment, garbage collection systems, police forces, and firefighters. Labor unions also advocated for workers' rights to address low wages and long hours. Corruption was widespread in political machines that controlled many city governments; civil service reforms in the 1880s aimed to establish merit-based hiring in the public sector.

Ch. 10.1.2
This document provides an overview of America's emergence as an imperial power in the late 19th century. It discusses the Spanish-American War of 1898, which was precipitated by Cuban revolts against Spanish rule and inflamed by "yellow journalism" in the American press. The sinking of the USS Maine further raised tensions. The U.S. defeated Spain and gained control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. This victory marked America's arrival as a world power with overseas territories and colonies.
Immigration and Urbanization
Political machines like Tammany Hall provided social services and jobs to immigrants in cities in exchange for votes, leading to corruption. Boss Tweed and the "Tweed Ring" controlled Tammany Hall and embezzled millions, leading to reforms like the Pendleton Civil Service Act to establish merit-based government hiring. Most late 1800s/early 1900s presidents pushed reforms, with the exceptions of Grant and Taft who maintained the status quo.
