Page 11 - IP3A 007 The Great Depression of 1929 to 1939 강경민

The period of 1929-1939 is filled with

horrific stories that few people care to

remember.

The depression was not confined to

North America, but rather impacted the

entire world in varying degrees.

Human despair was at its highest.

Families were both starving and poorly

clothed. The depression was the

genesis of subsidy programs or

financial aid.

These social services, however, never

approached the level of real wages and

rarely provided the bare necessities

required for survival.
