<span>The stock market crash of 1929 was not the sole cause of the Great Depression, but it did act to accelerate the global economic collapse of which it was also a symptom. By 1933, nearly half of America's banks had failed, and unemployment was approaching 15 million people, or 30 percent of the workforce.</span>

Crowd gathering on Wall Street after the 1929 crash.

The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as Black Tuesday (October 29), the Great Crash, or the Stock Market Crash of 1929, began on October 24, 1929 ("Black Thursday"), and was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States, when taking into consideration the full extent and duration of its after effects. The crash, which followed the London Stock Exchange's crash of September, signaled the beginning of the 12-year Great Depression that affected all Western industrialized countries.

PLEASE HELP!!!! <br> Which best describes President Carter’s attempts to free the hostages in Iran?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

C is the correct answer. All of the attempts were failed.


In April 1980, frustrated with the slow pace of diplomacy (and over the objections of several of his advisers), Carter decided to launch a risky military rescue mission known as Operation Eagle Claw. The operation was supposed to send an elite rescue team into the embassy compound. However, a severe desert sandstorm on the day of the mission caused several helicopters to malfunction, including one that veered into a large transport plane during takeoff. Eight American servicemen were killed in the accident, and Operation Eagle Claw was aborted.

President Carter continued to attempt to secure the hostages' release before his presidency's end. On 20 January 1981, minutes after Carter's term ended, the 52 US captives held in Iran were released, ending the 444-day Iran hostage crisis.

How did Eleanor Roosevelt transform the role of the First Lady of the United States?
poizon [28]

The correct answer is by becoming more active in addressing social issues than her predecessors

Eleanor married the rising politician, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905 and was completely involved in public service. When they arrived at the White House in 1933 as President and First Lady, she was already deeply involved in human rights and social justice issues. As he continued his work on behalf of all people, he defended equal rights for women, African Americans, workers in the era of depression, taking inspiration and attention to their causes. Courageously frank, she publicly supported Marian Anderson when in 1939 the black singer was denied use of the Washington Constitution Hall due to her race. Roosevelt ensured that Anderson would sing instead on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, creating a lasting and inspiring image of personal prowess and human rights.
