Explanation:

The Great Depression, also known as the Crisis of 29, was a great global economic crisis that lasted during the 1930s, in the years before the Second World War. Its duration depends on the countries analyzed, but in the majority it began around 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s. It was the longest depression in time, of greater depth and the one that affected more countries in the 20th century. In the 21st century it has been used as a paradigm of the extent to which a serious deterioration of the economy on a world scale can occur.

The depression had devastating effects in almost all countries, rich and poor, where insecurity and misery were transmitted as an epidemic, so that they fell: national income, tax revenues, business profits and prices. International trade fell between 50% and 66%. Unemployment in the United States increased to 25%, and in some countries it reached 33%.
