The situation in 1929:


The underlying problems of the post war boom, combined with the new out of control
share trading on Wall Street, this led to the wall street crash.
The great depression then hit the USA, then the world.
People lost their jobs, homes, unemployment soared, banks and businesses closed
There had Benn an 18 month depression after ww1 so the republicans believe their
laissez-faire and rugged individualism policies would work again
The great depression longer and harsher than before however, and by 1933
republicanism had declined and Roosevelt had been elected for the Democrats, popular
for his ‘nee deal, thinking which was wildly different to the republican policies in the
20’s
The election in 1928, across the mat was mostly red (Republican)
However, in 1932 this drastically changed showing the map to be almost fully blue
