When did the great depression start and end?

Answer 1

The Great Depression was a worldwide economic downturn, starting in 1929 and lasting through most of the 1930s. It centered in the United States and Europe, but had damaging effects around the world. The most industrialized countries were the nations that were affected the worst, including the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Cities around the world were hit hard, especially those based on heavy industry. Construction virtually halted in many countries. Farmers and rural areas suffered as prices for crops fell by 40-60% [1] Mining and lumbering areas were perhaps the hardest hit because demand fell sharply and there was little alternative economic activity. It ended at different times in different countries; for subsequent history see Home front during World War II.
