The Next Depression
Item
Title
The Next Depression
Description
In Germany, the Great Depression contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Unemployment dropped rapidly in the United States after 1939, when factories started ramping up production of munitions and armaments. The depression had ended by 1941 when the U.S. entered World War II. The world has yet to experience another depression as devastating.
