history

hat were the underlying causes of the depression? Why did the Great Depression of the 1930s seem so much worse than any occurring either before or since? Can you see any modern parallels to the Great Depression. Elaborate.

Everyone,Just to let all of you know….this time period is especially important for me, as my parents were of this Depression generation and I grew up listening to stories from them and my uncles. While in school…I wrote a number of papers on just this time period alone….the Great Depression…I have studied it from many different angles, the politics, the economics and the social aspect of this decade and most of what is taught in schools today about this decade is just plain wrong or an outright lie. We will get more into this later this week but for now….Question:What were some of the causes of the Great Depression?

What were the underlying causes of World War II? Select one event that you think irrevocably led the world (and the U.S.) to war more than any other event. Argue your selection with details that support your answer.

Everyone,What were some of the underlying causes for World War II?

Everyone,I thought I would mention to all of you something that often occurs with doing a web based researched reference. Never…Never…just give me the web address as this tells the reader nothing from where you drew your material from. Instead try doing the following:Authors name (if possible), then the title of the article you used, then the date it was posted (if it is there), then the web address and Finally….the date you accessed it.
