The Great Depression was the most severe and prolonged economic crisis of the 20th century. It began after the stock market crash of 1929 in the United States and quickly spread to other countries, including Canada and Europe.
The economic collapse led to massive unemployment, widespread poverty, business failures, and social instability. Millions of people lost their jobs, homes, and savings, and governments struggled to respond effectively.
This website explores the major causes of the Great Depression, its impact on society, and the government responses that helped in recovery and long-term reform.
