What factor helped to worsen the Great Depression?

History

klio [65]3 years ago

1. Stock Market Crash of 1929 - Many believe erroneously that the stock market crash that occurred on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 is one and the same with the Great Depression. In fact, it was one of the major causes that led to the Great Depression. Two months after the original crash in October, stockholders had lost more than $40 billion dollars. Even though the stock market began to regain some of its losses, by the end of 1930, it just was not enough and America truly entered what is called the Great Depression.

2. Bank Failures - Throughout the 1930s over 9,000 banks failed. Bank deposits were uninsured and thus as banks failed people simply lost their savings. Surviving banks, unsure of the economic situation and concerned for their own survival, stopped being as willing to create new loans. This exacerbated the situation leading to less and less expenditures.

3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board - With the stock market crash and the fears of further economic woes, individuals from all classes stopped purchasing items. This then led to a reduction in the number of items produced and thus a reduction in the workforce. As people lost their jobs, they were unable to keep up with paying for items they had bought through installment plans and their items were repossessed. More and more inventory began to accumulate. The unemployment rate rose above 25% which meant, of course, even less spending to help alleviate the economic situation.

4. American Economic Policy with Europe - As businesses began failing, the government created the Smoot-Hawley Tariff in 1930 to help protect American companies. This charged a high tax for imports thereby leading to less trade between America and foreign countries along with some economic retaliation

Which type of border would likely have the most protection
Elden [556K]

A national border would most likely have the most protection because nation's seek to prevent the import of illegal goods, movement of individuals into the country, and also to protect their borders against potential foreign invasion. Traditionally national borders would have more defenses, army, security forces, and police to protect the border than any of the rest of these borders.

This map shows the spread of Islam by 750 CE. Which list of present-day nations best represents the areas where Islam had spread
zvonat [6]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the map.

However, we can say the following. The present-day nations best represented in the areas where Islam had spread by 750 CE are Spain (most of the Iberian Peninsula), the southwest part of France. Of course, all the Arabian peninsula, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Jerusalem, Jordan, parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the region of North Africa, including Egypt, Morocco, parts of Argelia and Libya.

Islam spread during these years through trade, conquests, and evangelization. The Umayyads did not force conversion to Islam but tried to persuade people to embrace the Muslim religion. The Umayyads moved the capital from Mecca to Syria, in the Middle East.
