NHD Topic Essay

Being that this will be my second chance in participating in the NHD project, the project that I will be researching is The Great Depression. Researching the great depression was not my idea, a group of friends of mine decided on researching the topic and invited me to be apart of their group and I accepted. But doing a little reading I decided that this was a good topic and group to be apart of. I decided to research the great depression because I wanted to know exactly what the great depression was how it was started, what happened, who was apart of it, what the government did or did not do, or was it something that just happened over night.

October 1929 was the crash of the stock market in North American, Europe and other industrialized countries, by 1933 banks in the US were closing at a high rate, 11,000 of 25,000 banks were closed, and people that invested in stock or had money in the bank lost everything, causing people and their families to turn to chariest for survival.

Just going to two of three sources I found this much information out just imagine when I go in dept on this topic.
