The Great Depres­sion last­ed from 1929 to 1941, a total of 12 years.

Almost 50 per­cent of all the chil­dren in the US did not have enough food or even a place to live med­ical was almost non exis­tent.

The stock mar­ket lost more than 29 Bil­lion dol­lars in the first week of the depres­sion.

More than three quar­ters of a mil­lion farm­ers went bank­rupt­cy, many nev­er again were farm­ers.

They lost their land their homes and every­thing they ever worked for.

The unem­ploy­ment rate was more than 24 per­cent.

Almost every nation aban­doned the gold stan­dard in favor of print­ing more mon­ey which caused even more prob­lems for the peo­ple that were left to starve in the streets.
