5. The Great Depression
The Great Depression was an economic downfall in America and many other parts of the world. This was a dark time for America as well as the other countries that this affected. It started in 1929 and lasted for about 10 years. This depression did not end until we entered the war causing a need of supplies. Lists of orders started to come into our factories. This created jobs and slowly improved our economy. This was a sad time in history but I believe that it is an important event in history. This is because it showed or country in weakness.
