Herbert hoover
As the 31 st president of the

his country through this
depression and boy did he
completely fumble. Trying to

The stock market crash Inflation and Deflation The cycle
on 1929 and poverty

 Stock market crash
•For example the wheat were overproduced caused a incredible drop in the stock market, This
stock market crash really started in US, the prices stock deflated a lot (if you don’t know about
stocks then this may be confusing to you). Lots and I say LOTS of people lost their jobs which
resulted in poverty and being poor/homeless

11
Inflation and deflation
•This is interesting due to the 1920s being called
the “Roaring twenties” America was BOOMING
in economy. And when the market crashed, it got a
whole lot worse still.

12
 The cycle
• So firstly we have bank fails, alright so basically when people want to cash out their stocks and the cycle,
this means that stocks drop and this is really REALLY BAD bank cant provide this money it basically makes
the stocks drop because basically no one wanted to invest in stocks form this

• This is how I feel like I can

easily explain what “the cycle
is”

• This makes it so stock investors don’t

have as much money, this makes it so
they can’t give as much money to the
employers.

So then the workers weren’t able to afford

stuff in the market and products so then
BANKS weren’t able to make money.

• This made the employers made the

workers get paid less or not get paid a
13
lot and this increased unemployment a

How did everything get fixed you may

This can be shown as
ask? Well occasionally, governments all
around the world will add money into millions of people especially
stocks so they slowly increase, this made it
USA and Canda left
