History: The Great Depression and World War II<span><span>One of the hardest hit segments of the New Mexico economy during the depression was farming. In 1931, the state’s most important crops were worth only about half of their 1929 value. Dry farmers were especially devastated as they suffered from both continually high operating costs and a prolonged drought that dried up portions of New Mexico so badly that they became part of the Dust Bowl. From Oklahoma to eastern New Mexico, winds picked up the dry topsoil, forming great clouds of dust so thick that it filled the air. On May 28, 1937, one dust cloud, or “black roller,” measuring fifteen hundred feet high and a mile across, descended upon the farming and ranching community of Clayton, New Mexico. The dust blew for hours and was so thick that electric lights could not be seen across the street. Everywhere they hit, the dust storms killed livestock and destroyed crops. In the Estancia Valley entire crops of pinto beans were killed, and that once productive area was transformed into what author John L. Sinclair has called “the valley of broken hearts.”

In all parts of New Mexico, farmland dropped in value until it bottomed out at an average of $4.95 an acre, the lowest value per acre of land in the United States. Many New Mexico farmers had few or no crops to sell and eventually, they were forced to sell their land contributing in the process to the overall decline in farmland values.</span>The depression also hurt New Mexico’s cattle ranchers, for they suffered from both drought and a shrinking marketplace. As grasslands dried up, they raised fewer cattle; and as the demand for beef declined, so did the value of the cattle on New Mexico’s rangelands. Like the farmers, many ranchers fell behind in their taxes and were forced to sell their land, which was bought by large ranchers.<span>Agriculture’s ailing economic condition had a particularly harsh effect on New Mexico, for the state was still primarily rural during the 1930’s, with most of its people employed in raising crops and livestock. Yet farmers and ranchers were not the only ones to appear on the list of those devastated by depressed economic conditions. Indeed, high on the list were the miners, who watched their industry continue the downward slide that had begun in the 1920’s. </span></span>

What were some of the main differences between the dutch, french, and english colonial efforts in the new world. (Explain in 3-5
Sedaia [141]

The Dutch and French approach to colonization were much different than English efforts. One area where this is evident is each groups relationship with Native American groups. The English consistently struggled with developing positive relationships with Natives, as the first permanent English settlement (Jamestown) saw constant fighting between the English and Powahatan Confederacy. However, the Dutch and French became allies with the Native Americans. The French were able to establish a very successful fur trade with the Huron tribe.

jeka57 [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Postwar anxiety increased in 1949 after a series of startling events showcased that the Cold War could be just as intense as a "hot" war. The events that occurred in 1949, causing the world to anticipate renewed military action were the following:

The signing of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) in April.

The first detonation of an atomic bomb by the Soviet Union in the month of May.

Mao Tse Dong establishing the Communist government of the People´s Republic of China in October.

These events increased the tension in the so-called Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. These two superówers competed in the arms race, the space race, and the spread of Communism/containment of Communism, generating so much tension in the world.
