President Hoover was unprepared for the scope of the depression crisis, and his limited response did not begin to help the millions of Americans in need. The steps he took were very much in keeping with his philosophy of limited government, a philosophy that many had shared with him until the upheavals of the Great Depression made it clear that a more direct government response was required. But Hoover was stubborn in his refusal to give “handouts,” as he saw direct government aid. He called for a spirit of volunteerism among America’s businesses, asking them to keep workers employed, and he exhorted the American people to tighten their belts and make do in the spirit of “rugged individualism.” While Hoover’s philosophy and his appeal to the country were very much in keeping with his character, it was not enough to keep the economy from plummeting further into economic chaos.
The steps Hoover did ultimately take were too little, too late. He created programs for putting people back to work and helping beleaguered local and state charities with aid. But the programs were small in scale and highly specific as to who could benefit, and they only touched a small percentage of those in need. As the situation worsened, the public grew increasingly unhappy with Hoover. He left office with one of the lowest approval ratings of any president in history.
The Depression hit hardest those nations that were most deeply indebted to the United States, Germany, and Great Britain. In Germany unemployment rose sharply beginning in late 1929, and by early 1932 it had reached 6 million workers, or about 25 percent of the workforce were unemployed.
1a) Benefit - Life could improve. With a larger nation taking over, there will be more resources
1b) Problem - Things will change. It is impossible for life to continue as before.
2) I would rather have a protectorate rule because it would mean that my country would be able to govern itself through its own internal government (though it would still be controlled by an outside power).
<em>Good Luck!</em>
