Answer:
The government made poor decisions, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The Great Depression of the 1930's badly hit Australia, but the main reason why the economy of Australia collapsed right before the Great Depression was that the government of Australia made poor decisions. Throughout the period of the Great Depression, Australia experienced years of extraordinary unemployment, falling incomes, low profits, poverty, lost opportunities for financial growth and individual improvement.
I'm not sure if this will help, but Twain was against imperialism. He spoke out against what happened in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War (in which rebels fought against the US for not recognizing them as a republic -- this after the Spanish American War) and was concerned over the direction that the country was taking with those actions. Keith, on the other hand, was a businessman and entrepreneur who eventually created the United Fruit Company. Through his business holdings in Costa Rica and the Central American region, his companies managed to influence a great deal of the local economy. Instead of using armies and soldiers to take over a country, his companies did the same thing -- through the economy -- turning many areas into private preserves that fed his business interests. In that way, he was definitely something of an imperialist.
