Week seven, the 1930s
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal attempted to address the economic crisis of the Great Depression through extensive government intervention in the economy. FDR immediately took action through public relief programs and bank reforms upon taking office. The initial New Deal programs focused on money and work relief but failed to fully revive the economy. This led to more radical labor movements developing in 1934. In response, the Second New Deal pursued more liberal policies like Social Security, the Wagner Act supporting unions, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. While helping many, the New Deal still had limitations and sometimes excluded groups like women, racial minorities, and agricultural workers. By World War II, the economy began reviving though unemployment remained an issue until wartime production.

Power point lesson 7 - new deal i - great depression and world war ii unit (1)
This poster is trying to advertise the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). It is obvious that the workers for the CCC complete conservation and forestry tasks like planting trees based on the imagery. I think this poster would have recruited many people during the Great Depression because it promised work and a paycheck to unemployed young men. The poster depicts the work as productive and meaningful while improving the environment. Based on promoting employment, service, and being outdoors, I would have been interested in joining the CCC program if I was in that position during the 1930s.

02 Franklin D Roosevelt and New Deal
Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal redefined democracy in the United States through its focus on political rights, economic security, and social justice. The New Deal established relief programs to provide jobs and aid for Americans suffering during the Great Depression, as well as recovery and reform programs to stimulate the economy and regulate industries and social services. Though criticized by conservatives for being too large in scope and by radicals for not going far enough, the New Deal restored confidence in the government and led to Roosevelt's landslide reelection in 1936 as he built a broad coalition of support.

Franklin Roosevelt brought a new sense of optimism to the United States during the Great Depression with his New Deal programs. His fireside chats on the radio helped boost his popularity as he spoke directly to the American people. The New Deal created programs like the Works Progress Administration which employed artists to create public works and the Civilian Conservation Corps which put many men to work on environmental projects. However, the large expansion of government power concerned some critics who felt it bordered on socialism or fascism.

New deal wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Deal was a series of economic programs enacted in the United States between 1933 and 1936 in response to the Great Depression. The programs focused on relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy to normal levels, and reform of the financial system to prevent another depression. Some key programs included the Social Security system, the SEC, the FDIC, and public works projects like the Tennessee Valley Authority. The New Deal helped establish the Democratic party as the majority party in the U.S. for decades.

The United States became the world's leading industrial power in the early 20th century due to a surge in entrepreneurship and industrialization, as well as large numbers of immigrants. A national railroad network connected mines and factories across the country. Dissatisfaction with corruption and inefficiency led to the Progressive Era and reforms including the federal income tax, direct election of Senators, citizenship for Native Americans, prohibition, and women's suffrage. The U.S. entered World War I neutrally but later joined the Allies, and helped secure their victory. After economic prosperity in the 1920s, the Great Depression began with the 1929 stock market crash, and President Roosevelt introduced the New Deal with unemployment relief and other social programs.

The document summarizes the origins and causes of the Great Depression in the United States from 1929-1933. It describes how the stock market crash led to a steep decline in manufacturing output, prices, and GDP. Unemployment rose dramatically to around 25% as one-third of the workforce had reduced hours or pay. The banking system also collapsed as there was no deposit insurance and thousands of banks closed. The New Deal policies under President Franklin Roosevelt aimed to provide relief, reform, and recovery through new programs and increased government intervention in the economy from 1933-1938.

The great depression
The Great Depression affected most of the world in the 1930s. In both the US and Germany, around 15 million were unemployed. Both Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933 seeking to address unemployment. Roosevelt introduced the New Deal, establishing programs to put millions back to work through public works projects. Similarly, Hitler established public works programs and subsidized companies that hired new workers. However, the Nazi regime soon began militarizing the economy and strictly controlling industries to prepare for war, while Roosevelt's New Deal aimed to help workers and regulate industries without total government control. While the initial responses to the economic crisis shared some similarities, the goals of the two leaders and their governments ultimately diverged greatly.

The Great Depression was the longest and most severe economic downturn in modern history, lasting from 1929 to 1939. It began with the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and was caused by overproduction, excessive consumer debt, and inadequate demand. The Depression had devastating effects worldwide, with major political changes occurring in Europe and the United States as traditional liberal capitalist economics was abandoned in favor of government intervention and recovery programs.

This document compares the economic crises of 1929 and 2008. For the 1929 crisis, it identifies the stock market crash and banking panics as key causes, and blames President Hoover for failing to address the situation. Farmers, the middle class, and African Americans were most affected. People survived through community gardens, women entering the workforce, and some becoming homeless. The crisis was not truly solved by WWII spending and debt increased. For 2008, lax lending standards, housing policies, and limited regulation of financial institutions caused the crisis. Richard Fuld, the last CEO of Lehman Brothers, was widely blamed.

It explains that the Wall Street Crash marked the beginning of the decade-long Great Depression that affected Western countries.

Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and implemented the New Deal programs to provide relief, recovery, and reform.

Great Depression Thesis
The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in modern history. It began after the 1929 stock market crash and led to widespread unemployment. The unemployment rate rose from 3% to 25% by 1932, leaving over 13 million Americans without jobs. Those still employed often earned very low wages, making it difficult for families to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. The Great Depression had devastating social and economic effects throughout the 1930s.

How Was Malcom X Different To Martin Luther
Malcolm X disagreed with Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence, believing that black Americans needed to confront white racism with force. While MLK feared violence would undermine the civil rights movement, Malcolm X's message resonated more with young urban African Americans. Malcolm X advocated for the separation of black and white Americans as a member of the Nation of Islam. His upbringing, which included the threats against his civil rights activist father and the burning of his family home, led many black Americans to identify with him. After MLK's assassination in 1968, many felt his message of confronting inequality, even through violence if necessary, was more relevant as the promises of the civil rights movement had not improved their lives.
