The Great Depression of 1929 had a very severe impact on India<span>, which was then under the rule of the </span>British Raj<span>. The </span>Government of British India<span> adopted a protective trade policy which, though beneficial to the </span>United Kingdom<span>, caused great damage to the Indian economy. During the period 1929–1937, </span>exports<span> and </span>imports<span> fell drastically crippling seaborne international trade. The </span>railways<span> and the </span>agricultural<span> sector were the most affected.</span>
The exchange that most affected the indigenous people was the one of diseases. Native Americans hadn't encounter the diseases the European brought before, so they hadn't develop immunity to them. This is the major reason of the large death of Native Americans, besides the war between them and the brutality of the Europeans.
