Like other countries Africa particularly South Africa
experience economic difficulties due to the Great Depression. Salaries decreased and unemployment went
up. Like Britain they were forced to
abandon the Gold Standard which helped the economy. Latin America also experienced economic
difficulties due to their relationship with the U.S. Like South Africa, their economy also went
down and this led to the rise of nationalism and fascism.
Slavery started because people couldn't do their jobs themselves, so they had other people do it for them.
