Briefly explain ONE difference between the role of the federal government in the United States economy during the Gilded Age and the role of the federal government in the United States economy in the 1930s.

During the Gilded Age, federal role was limited to development of agriculture and giving financial support to companies involved in railroad system. They had little role in business.

During 1930s, role of federal increased substantially. They started to take call in business and think about taking the economy out of depression.

Explanation:

US saw Gilded Age after the American Civil War. During this period, there was rapid increase in industrialization. Railroads were built during this time.

Small industries became big.

However, during this time, there was an increase in corruption. Economy was dominated by few individuals and people used to work for them only.

In 1930s, there was global crisis and it resulted in great depression which started from United States. In US, it was crash of stock market which led economy to drop drastically by end of 1929.

During this time, the federal government started to take active steps to overcome this.

During this time, Herbert Hoover was the President. He started releasing more of federal funds for public projects and asked employers not to do wage cut for their workers.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
