The Great Depression and //the dust bowl// he Great Depression began in the United States but quickly turned into a worldwide economic slump owing to the special and intimate relationships that had been forged between the United States and European economies after World War I. The Great Depression may be said to have begun with a catastrophic collapse of stock-market prices on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929.Many banks were consequently forced into insolvency; by 1933, 11,000 of the United States' 25,000 banks had failed.manufacturing output had fallen to 54 percent of its 1929 level, and unemployment had risen to between 12 and 15 million workers, or 25-30 percent of the work force. In Germany, unemployment rose sharply beginning in late 1929, and by early 1932 it had reached 6 million workers, or 25 percent of the work force.In the United States, economic distress led to the election of the Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency in late 1932.
