The major parts of the book of Jeremiah are usually delineated as follows: prophecies against Judah and Jerusalem (chapters 1–25), narratives about Jeremiah (chapters 26–45), prophecies against foreign nations (chapters 46–51), and a historical appendix (chapter 52). The prophecies in the first part of the book derive mostly from Jeremiah himself. The second part, which is mostly prose and usually speaks of Jeremiah in the third person, probably owes its composition to Baruch, the scribe who, according to chapter 36, wrote the prophecies against Israel and Judah and all the nations from Jeremiah’s dictation. The prophecies against foreign nations may derive in part from Jeremiah; the appendix was largely taken from 2 Kings 24:18–25:30.

In the late 1920's the United States was the richest country in the world. After World War I, the rest of the world was largely in debt to U.S. banks. The Brits, French, and even the Germans owed us. I'm talking about billions of dollars. So, basically what we have here is pretty much everyone in America was profiting from it. One brand new thing that people were starting to use was credit! With credit you could buy something now and pay it off later. People began to buy things they couldn't before, such as cars and radios. Henry Ford made it easier when he began production on a cheap vehicle called the Model T. Paying with credit became a large part of our culture. So, when the stock market finally crashed people were largely already in debt.
During this time, the stock market was becoming a large gambling game that supposedly made everyone rich. Even the president bought stocks. When people did, a popular method called buying on margin was used. It's when someone would buy a stock and 90% of it would be bought with a bank loan. Since it seemed like the market was only on the up-and-up they would be selling for double the price they bought it from. When the crash it, people lost thousands.
That's all I can remember for right now, I'll add if anything pops to mind. Cheers!
<span>Hey! :)
Vietnamization was a policy that was a very good idea in theory, however, once applied, the policy failed to bring a definitive and peaceful end to the conflict. The policy was not able to be followed through on and with invasion of Cambodia, it was clear that the US would not be able to remove all forces from Vietnam in the time they had hoped to.
Hope this helps! :)</span>
