The Great Depression was a period of unprecedented decline in economic activity. It is generally agreed to have occurred between 1929 and 1939. Although parts of the economy had begun to recover by 1936, high unemployment persisted until the Second World War.
<span>The 1920s witnessed an economic boom in the US (typified by Ford Motor cars, which made a car within the grasp of ordinary workers for the first time). Industrial output expanded very rapidly. Sales were often promoted through buying on credit. However, by early 1929, the steam had gone out of the economy and output was beginning to fall.The stock market had boomed to record levels. Price to earning ratios were above historical averages.The US Agricultural sector had been in recession for many more years<span>The UK economy had been experiencing deflation and high unemployment for much of the 1920s. This was mainly due to the cost of the first world war and attempting to rejoin the Gold standard at a pre world war 1 rate. This meant Sterling was overvalued causing lower exports and slower growth. The US tried to help the UK stay in the gold standard. That meant inflating the US economy, which contributed to the credit boom of the 1920s. 
</span></span>During September and October a few firms posted disappointing results causing share prices to fall. On October 28th (Black Monday), the decline in prices turned into a crash has share prices fell 13%. Panic spread throughout the stock exchange as people sought to unload their shares. On Tuesday there was another collapse in prices known as 'Black Tuesday'. Although shares recovered a little in 1930, confidence had evaporated and problems spread to the rest of the financial system. Share prices would fall even more in 1932 as the depression deepened. By 1932, The stock market fell 89% from its September 1929 peak. It was at a level not seen since the nineteenth century.
<span>Falling share prices caused a collapse in confidence and consumer wealth. Spending fell and the decline in confidence precipitated a desire for savers to withdraw money from their banks.</span>

blagie [28]

The chief tactic that the As- syrians used to maintain tranquility in their empire was terror

The Old French word tranquility, which initially intended "peace" or "happy," is where the word serenity gets its origin. However, the meaning of the phrase didn't fully develop until the late 14th century.

The attribute or state of becoming tranquil, that is, peaceful, tranquil, and worry-free, is called tranquility (also written tranquility). The term "tranquility" can be found in a wide variety of texts, from Buddhist religious writings where the term "passaddhi" refers to mental, physical, and spiritual tranquility on the road to enlightenment to a variety of policy and strategy guidance documents where the word is typically interpreted in relation to interaction with the natural globe. The phrase "ensure domestic Tranquility" is widely used in the Preamble of the US Constitution.

In 1992, the palestinians wanted ________ in gaza and in jericho.
Viktor [21]

The correct answer is Limited Self- Rule.

Palestinians wanted Limited Self- rule in Gaza and Jericho in 1992. Israelis claimed that this region ( Gaza strip) is rightfully theirs according to the Biblical Israel land, on the other hand, the Palestinian wanted to have their own nation as this region lies outside the UN recognized borders. By the Gaza- Jericho agreement Israel promised to withdraw partly from Gaza and Jericho. This agreement, therefore, resulted in the transfer of power from Israel to the Palestinian authority. Yasser Arafat became the first Prime minister of Palestine.
