The USA, 1918-41
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
In 1929 the United States was the richest country the world had ever seen. Four years later a quarter of its workforce had no job, thousands of banks had shut their doors, and families were living in shanty towns named after the president. Then, over the following eight years, an American government did something no American government had done before: it took direct responsibility for jobs, savings, farms and old age, and half the country hated it for doing so.
This note covers the boom of the 1920s, the social conflicts that ran underneath it, the Wall Street Crash and the Depression, and Roosevelt's New Deal together with the serious opposition it faced. Because this is a Paper 2 source topic, it also trains you to handle the evidence this period produced in abundance: campaign speeches by rivals describing the same country, photographs taken by a government agency that wanted the Depression seen, and statistics that different people counted differently.
