Great Depression and World War II, 1929-1945

The Great Depression was a severe, worldwide economic depression that began in 1929 and lasted through the majority of the 1930s.

It was the longest and most severe economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world, lasting from 1929 to 1939.

During the Great Depression, unemployment in the United States rose to 25%, with almost 13 million people out of work.

Many families struggled to make ends meet, and poverty and homelessness rose dramatically.

World War II began in 1939 and brought an end to the Great Depression.

During the war, the US economy changed from a peacetime to a wartime economy, with millions of Americans joining the military or working in factories to support the war effort.

The war also sparked a period of postwar economic growth, known as the "economic boom."
