My Assigned blog topic is How the Great Depression affect other countries? I chose this topic because i didn't know what else to type about!
United States
Work force declined by 25% , and 15 million people did not have a job! Economic Production also dropped about 50% in 1933. 1933 was one of the worst times in American History. No one had jobs and if you were lucky enough to have a job you were paid very poorly. Many food lines were set in cities. But you would usually just find men in the lines because the women thought of it as embarrassing. Men felt very much like failures and some men even committed suicide or left their families.
Canada
Canada was also hit by the depression too. there work unemployment rate was to about 30% at one point. But by the beginning of world war two it stayed at 12%. Canada's indutrial production at one point was 58% which was very low! Which evenly sent them into a Depression.
Australia
Australia was effected pretty hard to! while their unemployment rate was at 29-32% at one point in time! that is crazy!! Their deman for exported goods when down and then they went into a depression. But soon to find a demand on wool and meat prices went up and then Australia soon came to regather and recover slowly but surely.
France
France was not affected that much as other countries were. France did not depend on the United states as much as like Germany did.
Germany
Germany was receiving loans and money from America to help regain their economy an pick it up again through the Dawes plan! but when the Great Depression hit the united states we couldn't send money over there anymore because were barely had any. So then they didn't have any money really and then they couldn't pay us back which means we were down some money. Once all this happened Germany's economy completely failed and fell apart.
