Answer:
History: The Great Depression and World War II. One of the hardest hit segments of the New Mexico economy during the depression was farming. In 1931, the state’s most important crops were worth only about half of their 1929 value. Dry farmers were especially devastated as they suffered from both continually high operating costs and a prolonged drought that dried up portions of New Mexico so badly that they became part of the Dust Bowl. From Oklahoma to eastern New Mexico, winds picked up the dry topsoil, forming great clouds of dust so thick that it filled the air. On May 28, 1937, one dust cloud, or “black roller,” measuring fifteen hundred feet high and a mile across, descended upon the farming and ranching community of Clayton, New Mexico. The dust blew for hours and was so thick that electric lights could not be seen across the street. Everywhere they hit, the dust storms killed livestock and destroyed crops. In the Estancia Valley entire crops of pinto beans were killed, and that once productive area was transformed into what author John L. Sinclair has called “the valley of broken hearts.”
In all parts of New Mexico, farmland dropped in value until it bottomed out at an average of $4.95 an acre, the lowest value per acre of land in the United States. Many New Mexico farmers had few or no crops to sell and eventually, they were forced to sell their land contributing in the process to the overall decline in farmland values.The depression also hurt New Mexico’s cattle ranchers, for they suffered from both drought and a shrinking marketplace. As grasslands dried up, they raised fewer cattle; and as the demand for beef declined, so did the value of the cattle on New Mexico’s rangelands. Like the farmers, many ranchers fell behind in their taxes and were forced to sell their land, which was bought by large ranchers.Agriculture’s ailing economic condition had a particularly harsh effect on New Mexico, for the state was still primarily rural during the 1930’s, with most of its people employed in raising crops and livestock. Yet farmers and ranchers were not the only ones to appear on the list of those devastated by depressed economic conditions. Indeed, high on the list were the miners, who watched their industry continue the downward slide that had begun in the 1920’s.

The main way in which geographic and economic differences between regions led to increased sectionalism in the US was that the South was entirely agrarian and depended heavily on slavery, while the North despised the institution of slavery. This eventually led to the Civil War.
I agree. His motivations were not bad such as save China but in that time they did not have a stable government, so it was not good for them all.
When Chiang returned to China in 1911, he participated in a revolution that ended the Qing Manchu dynasty, which then reigned in the country. With that, it transformed China into a republic. However, for many years there was no stable government, as some feudal warlords, who dominated the provinces, fought for power.
After a period of study in the Soviet Union, Chiang returned to China in 1923. Two years later, he replaced Sun at the helm of the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party). At that time the Communists were part of the Nationalist Party, but in 1927 Chiang Kai-shek expelled them from it. Chiang also rose up against the warlords and, in 1928, established a new government. Warlords and Communists, however, continued to oppose him.
When Japan invaded China in 1937, Chiang made a temporary alliance with the communists to fight the invaders. This struggle became part of the larger World War II conflict. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the Communists turned against Chiang again. In 1949 they defeated him and founded the People's Republic of China. Chiang Kai-shek transferred his nationalist government to the island of Taiwan, where he died on April 5, 1975.
