3. What was the New Deal?

4. Who was Herbert Hoover?
- Answer: The 31st President of the United States (1929–1933) who was in office when the Great Depression began. His policies were criticized for not adequately addressing the crisis.
5. What role did the Dust Bowl play?
- Answer: The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms caused by drought and poor farming practices, primarily affecting the Midwest. It worsened the economic hardship by destroying farmland and displacing farmers.
6. What happened to banks during the Great Depression?
- Answer: Many banks failed due to widespread withdrawals (bank runs) as people lost confidence in the banking system. This led to a collapse of credit and further economic decline.
7. Why did the Great Depression happen?
- Answer: A combination of factors, including overproduction, unequal distribution of wealth, stock market speculation, and lack of government oversight, led to the economic collapse.
8. What was the impact on businesses?
- Answer: Businesses faced bankruptcy, reduced consumer spending, and decreased demand for goods and services, leading to mass layoffs and closures.
9. Identify the significance of Black Tuesday.
- Answer: Black Tuesday (October 29, 1929) refers to the day of the Wall Street Crash, which marked the beginning of the Great Depression. It led to massive stock market losses and investor panic.
10. What was the role of the Federal Reserve?
- Answer: The Federal Reserve failed to prevent the banking crisis by not providing enough liquidity to struggling banks, which contributed to the severity of the depression.
11. Why couldn't the economy recover on its own?
- Answer: The economy could not recover due to deflation, high unemployment, and a lack of consumer spending. Without intervention, the cycle of economic decline continued.
12. How long did the Great Depression last?
- Answer: The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to the late 1930s, with some effects persisting until the start of World War II.
