How The Great Depression Sent Shockwaves Around The World | Impossible Peace | Real History
The cataclysmic disaster that was the great depression of 1929 would cause chaos around the world for the best part of a decade. The powerhouse that was the American economy was the saving grace of most of the world after WW1. This however, would also serve to be it's undoing.

Coming out of facing alot, I knew two things about the stock market: It caused the Great Depression, and the fastest way to make a million on the markets was to start with two million. And then the Great Recession happened only a few years later. So yeah, I wish someone had better explained it to me earlier in life. Having a good entry and exit strategy will make you succeed in the stock market.

Exactly, most of the investors pays more attention to the profit aspect forgetting that the market involves ups and down. securing your financial position requires lots of patience and proper education on the market so as to know the right profitable stock to buy and invest in. I made over $260k in profits, from just the Q4 of 2021. Investing in the stock market is most profitable when you understand how the market actually works.

Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
My great grandmother was a survivor of the Great Depression of 1929-42. Her mother died in the 30's from illness/unable to afford medicine, and her daughter worked two jobs afterwards to survive and avoid the same fate as other Depression survivors. Jobs for the unemployed in America alone during the 30's got better when the New Deals program was signed, but my great grandma kept her two jobs after that because of the war rationing when America entered World War 2 in 1941, and she saw the warning signs of the war that was coming before then. I learned all this after my great grandma died at the age of 88 when I was only 12 in 2002, and she survived worse than the depression from the war and the Cold War after that in her life. I didn't understand when I was a child, but I'm old enough today to know how ignorant the current generation of society is about a part of our history in this documentary.
This is the sort of History that should be taught in schools, at earliest plausible level, as REAL HISTORY.

1923 inflation started it, America pulling their money out in 29, so tht Germany cud pay reperations to Britain’s for ww1, in turn so Britain cud pay American back their ww1 loans😂 Stupid decisions, stacked on stupid decisions led to a sliver of rope/ hope to save Germany from bankruptcy for those 6 yrs The main reason Hitler got in, everyone saw how “so-called” Jewish American Bankers had caused Germany’s social/ economic troubles after ww1. In turn they wanted everything bought in Germany, to be made in Germany. Great ideas but expensive, just like why China builds everything today😅 Most western countries have free speech, striking power, have unions, etc. China not so much😂 so pay is shite, but products are cheap. “Blame Clause” in Treaty of Versailles didnt help the citizens’ thoughts, that Germany was sole responsible for ww1😢

How can people be so stupid and repeat this right now? Be prepared, what's coming could be nasty.
On a local level, many people formed cooperatives during this time period to survive. Cooperatives take out the profit motive and replace it with... cooperation. Everyone is a stakeholder.

Life is a comedy with tragic relief. Peter O’Toole .
Many people living in rural America weren't affected by the depression. Their poverty never changed. Others have told me it was their best decade because although wages were low, so were prices. My grandfather always said he'd rather butter cost one dollar and have the dollar to pay for it, than have it cost one cent and not have the penny. So, pick your poison. It depends how you're positioned both geographical and economical as to how you'll be able to survive. Remember, the Empire State building was built in the thirties, as well as the Grand Coulee dam, just to name a couple.
If I lived back then I would invest in hats & chuck Taylor's lol😅
And the biggest problem is that too many think they have more of a problem now because the past doesn’t’ matter to most! The Depression lasted for 10 years while people today have a problem with mild inflation or recession that are child’s play in comparison to The Great Depression my parents and uncle went through being kids at the time. Mom was born two years after it started after the ‘29 Stock Market Crash.

Sadly, his savings went up in smoke when his bank closed in late 1929. My grandfather Harold Thomas was infuriated, as it crippled his idol maternal grandfather. This made him a Democrat for life.
